    My Sony wireless headphone earpads have degraded considerably in recent times and I need to replace them. They are foam circular about , 3.5inches.
    I'd like to replae them with well padded ones.
    Sony model; MDR RF815r .

    any idea where I might get them ?
    Maplin and Sound Store Cork do not have such things.
    Apparently, 'big earpads' are not in fashion :(

    I would think the best you could do would be to try and find a headphone with the same size earpads, but which are better made and have the sort you want, and buy them as spares.

    Failing that, get yourself a needle and thread, some foam and a small piece of pig skin / glove leather, and make your own.

    Thats what I did for my Sony headphones when the stock ones disintegrated inside two years of use.

    Sony love selling hugely expensive accessory/replacement parts so they make the originals to be cráp from the outset.

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    I might just try my sewing skills - i hadn't thought of that :)
