How to Replace Sony WH-1000XM4 Earpads Cushions 👍🏻

[@Lowe-arg]

I skipped your video at first, because it lasted nine minutes, after watching short videos and trying, unsuccessfully, for a few minutes I decided to follow this one. I am listening to music with my XM4, that looks like brand new after 3 years, thank you! Like and sub!

[@manti1923]

I'm still running my XM3's I've not had to change the cushions on mines since I got them when they came out...strangly that's the longest I've had a pair of headphones without changing the cushions...keep up the good work my man

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Thank you! It does help if it’s not in a case or cabinet 🤔

[@saurabhbhardwaj6753]

I just bought the WC all black cups to replace the originals, the process for changing was easy but I do feel there is a marked difference between the sound with the increased distance. I did not think of it much before purchasing. Suggest to manuacture an option which is similar in thickness of the originals.

[@Olivia-W]

Wonderful video. I don't need to replace minehet, but I do need to clean them...

[@gavinstarling8737]

Thanks heaps! Was dreading having to refit. Bought the Dekoni suede grey deep and what a difference in comfort!

[@sammoore4422]

I replaced the inner foam too. In fact, it is best to replace it all together, and once every six months. Think about it, if you wear a piece of clothing for half a year without washing it, how much mold and bacteria will be on it? Putting it on your ears may cause infection. The video says that you should change it when it smells bad. This is wrong. If it smells bad, it means that bacteria and mold have exceeded the limit.

[@princekuja]

Hey 👋🏾😊 suggestions on where can I get the inner foam? Mine are…barely hanging in there lol

[@stephenknight6562]

Aaron could you please recommend after marker ear pads for this model beyond the ones you mention here.

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Check out some by Wicked Cushions on Amazon

[@stephenknight6562]

@@aaronloudnwireless ok thanks Aaron

[@gorillapancake]

Are there thicker pads available for the XM5? The standard ones are too thin IMO.

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Not that I know of as of now

[@liuchaochaoliu]

Wonderful video with lots of useful details. Just managed to replaced mine following your instructions. 👍

[@retrocat604]

As a cat it's hard using my tiny paws to DIY change my headset cushion.

[@pqrs012]

I have the inside foam replacements as well, is it advised to change?

[@Chochai_007]

does it turn off when you put the 3.5 jack?

[@HowardKat]

Super helpful, just needed to get mine off and get some needed cleaning done! much appreciated!

[@kmadbro]

Does Sony provide Earpads replacement service after the warranty period of the device? Speaking for the XM5s

[@aaronloudnwireless]

They do and will have to pay them to do it

[@Cleisthenes607]

I've just bought these and they make my ears sweaty. Would getting DEKONI AUDIO CHOICE SUEDE REPLACEMENT EAR PADS sort that heat and sweating problem out or would I be wasting $60? Thanks in advance as I have no experience with suede ear cups.

[@dairdr]

I just did the replacement, thanks for the video

[@aaronloudnwireless]

No problem 👍

[@Adrian_VB]

Can this repair be done on the XM3 too?

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Sure, but you have to order the ones meant for XM3

[@MightyNMZK]

Thank you very much, i was searching for a solution to find original earpad replacements or any tutorial, but you helped me out again

[@MightyNMZK]

Your first help was the reason to buy the WH-1000XM4

[@aaronloudnwireless]

No problem :)

[@MightyNMZK]

I wanted to buy it, but I had to wait for my money, now they are not available, the Original Sony Earpads costs 126€ in Germany...

[@Lateralus800]

Awesome video. Not yet replacing my cushions but do you know how to get rid of its smell?

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Thanks! Try drying it under sunlight

[@lufixu]

omg thank u so much!! i needed to get a flower crochet charm to fit past the ear part but it was too big for it to pass through so i had to take off the padding to get it to fit haha

[@Tanya_V]

Lol 🤣 I honestly waited for one of the clicks to click louder and you saying oooops 😅🤣🤣👌 great content Aaron, as always:))

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Lol thanks Tanya, hope the clicks were satisfying for ya lol

[@itsm3th3b33]

Do they make cushions for the XM3?

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Yes they do

[@zpr592]

do you have another link for the normal pads as the link takes you to a different headphone now

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Are you referring to the Platinums? That link seems to be working fine

[@zpr592]

Hiya thank you for reply. It says it works for the Sennheiser headphone models HD600 does it fit the Sony too?

[@aaronloudnwireless]

@@zpr592 it says here when i click on the link that it’s specifically for XM4. Maybe it’s not available in your area. Perhaps check out Dekoni’s amazon store itself?

[@zpr592]

thank you. in UK will have a look thank you for everything you do !

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Much appreciated! 😁

[@poro448]

Hi, i dont know if someone asked you this already but can you make a video how to replace a headband because mine is peeling off already and its pretty annoying to see. I know one solution is to buy a cover but id rather not have any

[@OFLiNE7]

Огромное спасибо! Были сомнения, можно ли заменить амбушюры. На моём языке нет таких видео, и в интернете инструкций не находил

[@motron3]

Is the Sony WHRF400 replacements done the same way? Can’t find a tutorial anywhere.

[@mmsa9911]

i need the original cushions, from where can i get it ? please

[@revit4909]

Awesome I really love my XM4s and dont like the new XM5 design, this and a new battery will get me Even more use of of em

[@yosephkim]

does it stil fit the case it comes with even though it is much thicker?

[@bernicetan9859]

Hi Aaron! Any idea if it’s possible to replace the leather headband if it starts to peel?

[@BabuRaj-pr8gt]

Are there cushions available for Wh 1000xm3. I have been using my Xm3 for 2 years. Is that the same way for Xm3 cushions replacement. Thank you.

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Dekoni does have replacements for the XM3

[@itsmetimmee]

this is exactly what i need! deeper earcups in suede! amazon seller won’t ship to my region (sorry Aaron gonna order direct from Dekoni)

[@alexyt75029]

Amazing tutorial. Is it possible to do the same process for XM5? I want the new version, but a prefer cotton earpads.

[@burakurkmez8742]

Is there a compatible headphone pad with the Sony WH CH700N model? Can the ear pad of the WH-1000XM4 model be attached to the Sony WH CH700N model? Thanks

[@sofi.b13131]

Very helpful and easy, thank you!

[@aaronloudnwireless]

No problem!

[@beliveinurself]

Hey Aaron, just subbed. Can you confirm whether the platinum pads are a little deeper / thicker than the originals? I bought the choice suede, but unfortunately the 60mm height and straight internal wall means there is no longer enough space for my ears (although at least my ears aren't touching the driver housing!) Hoping the platinum's are the best of both worlds.

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Thanks for subbing! The Platinums are a little deeper but only a bit. Ears might still touch the drivers because it’s almost a carbon copy of the original cushions.

[@beliveinurself]

@@aaronloudnwireless Ok cool. Thanks for the heads up. I might go with the Wicked Cushions then. But of a shame as I love Dekoni. Always felt them and Yaxi make the best aftermarket stuff

[@goldenboy9748]

My M4s don’t have a touch pad in the ear do I have an old model or something? I can’t find any replacement pads without the sensor.

[@Ham.V0]

Quick question for whenever you get to this comment; do the dekoni suede earpads have similar noise cancelling properties as opposed to the dekoni leather earpads?

[@thecoreYalex]

no they dont. I cannot tell about Platinum ones, only about the choice leather and they do less noise cancelling after the replacement. I was not happy and refound them. Maybe I will try the Platinum next. Just think about that the dekonis are made in china..

[@sebastianrivera3628]

I know this is an older video. But I tried this for both sides and unfortunately didn't work. I noticed this is only happening when on Noise Cancelling. I had these for a few years but always took good care of them. Has anyone found any solution by any chance? In case the only option is sending it back to sony (which I wont cause can imagine the repair prices) does any one have a recommendation for better headsets than these ones? I've loved them but maybe its time for an upgrade. Thanks in advance :)

[@Sabuhn]

Can you do the same video but for the Sony WH-1000XM5? I just bought ones few days ago, I still don't need to replace anything but I would like to know how would that be

[@GFunkEra1992]

My problem with these cushions is that it gets hot. I hate this feeling. If they had replacements cushions with Gel, it would be perfect, also the ANC takes a hit by changing the OG cushions.

[@tomjolly2422]

Changed mine today the comfort is toatally gone

[@MelloHubb]

Can you please confirm if the xm4 and xm5 ear pads are interchangeable

[@beliveinurself]

they are not

[@nagizacc]

Does this work w the XM3?

[@hiimt6577]

Thanks for the quick explaination i was glad i came across your video it was helpfull thank you for making it :)

[@ladymctavish3299]

Thank you. I’ve badly needed to replace mine.

[@aaronloudnwireless]

You’re welcome 😁

[@pete6503]

Thank you kindly 🙏🏼

[@CannabisTechLife]

Great video! Thanks for this helpful info.

[@aaronloudnwireless]

No problem 😁

[@samcovers_]

after replacing the earpads, it no longer pauses the music when i remove the headphones from my head 😢😢😢😢

[@samcovers_]

nevermind, i just had to clean the sensor. the auto pause works again

[@DrummerPunked]

Are there any replacements or better earcups for the xm5's? If so, can you link them for me?

[@hyukalvr2222]

Does this work for m5?

[@imam2477]

Thank you 🙏

[@VanCamelCat]

Thanks Aaron! Do they have a version for the XM5s as well? (without the port, and with the correct bracket placements) I looked at the amazon link but couldn't quite figure it out

[@heator1531]

Please make a WF-L900N eq setting video，THX

[@maxjames00077]

That dust thing I always remove, give u way better audio.

[@jasonMB999]

Sticky and smelly? Why would they be smelly?

[@adamshufan3644]

Sweat? Why did you grt offended

[@arielgarcia1376]

Thank you.

[@luqdonapeqo3433]

we need for xm5

[@saschaschwarztv]

Amazon comments on these 3rd party replacement cushions say they peel or within weeks, the sound and the noise cancellation qualities change. Or is it just rubbish comments?

[@coffeemcbee1]

this really works

[@seng628]

Great video, lol Mantap

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Thanks!

[@alansimon1354]

These are more expensive where I am than Sony's own replacement cushions! But I guess if you're being paid every time you mention them in a KZbin video that's ok 😁

[@Puppyjans]

haha i tried that now i had hot glue new ones to them

[@aaronloudnwireless]

Wuuut

[@realcartoongirl]

my condition is flakey dropping black stuff everywhere 😠

[@quadzilla26b]

This way takes forever there is a faster way to do it

[@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi]

Do you think it would be possible to put the xm4 cushions onto xm3s ? I want to chuck the pads from the xm4 onto the xm3 as they are more plush.

[@Chea568]

I appreciate your video, thank you.

[@agaragar21]

Simpliii Brilliant !!!!

[@RoMusic2011]

Is any sound or ANC difference between original and Platinum? Original Sony ear cushions are very hard to get so 👌🏽

[@aaronloudnwireless]

No problem! Slight boost in the mids on the Platinums, no ANC difference as far as I can tell
