I was looking for something better than the standard ear cushions that come with headphones, and I think I found it. Much more comfortable in terms of pain, and I think they are more stable. They are closed-type, which means that the speaker of the headphone doesn't get dirty, and by just cleaning the cushion, you don't have any issues with blockages. The sizes are slightly larger than the standard ones, I wear small and the corresponding small seemed bigger at first, but over time the material compresses. I didn't notice any major differences in sound quality.
