Headphone ear-pads: which shop, which product?

[henrik2000]

Hello, I have the on-ear-headphones Sony WH-1000XM5 (see pic below). They are quite new, but the earpads make me sweat here in Thailand. Now I've seen online there are replacement earpads for sale that give your poor head a cooler time, supposedly.

I am sure I could get these earpads from an online shop in Thailand, but is there a recommendable local shop for those earpads in Pattaya or Jomtien? I only know Tukcom.

Especially I’d love the shop to fumble off the existing ear pads and to mount the new ones, which they’ll certainly do much better than I myself could do it. It would also be nice to touch the fabric to see if I'm fine with it.

I do NOT need pure 1:1 replacement earpads; the original ones are fine. But I need earpads that are clearly better suited to hot climate and head and sit perfectly on my Sony model.

If you have any experience with certain shops (including mounting service?) or products (including “cooling gel” ear-pads), I'd like to hear from you.

Thanks!

I have Bose QC2 on-ear headphones that I bought about ten years ago. Every couple of years, the ear pads start to disintegrate and shed black foam powder and therefore need to be replaced. OEM Bose ear pads cost 1,600 baht or so. Replacements from Lazada cost less than 400 baht and are indistinguishable from OEM. 

 

I have had no problems replacing the ear pads myself. Ear pads for your Sony headphones with cooling gel are available from Lazada as well. I suspect if you bought a pair an took them with your headphones to almost any electronics kiosk in a mall and offered them 100 baht they'd install them for you.

Never seen replacement pads in shops. Online is the way to go: Lazada, Aliexpress, Amazon.
