Contrary to my usual habit, I have not read this time the customer recessions but have put this product while surfing through quickly in the cart, otherwise I would not have bought this article. I can only repeat the recession of Franz Traxler on January 22, 2014. Also with me the plastic rings were broken, but this product contains only the earpads (what is missing in the product description). In this respect, you have to pluck down the old posters and put on about the new over the primitive orginalen plastic ring. I kept the two pads, because I as a music and Sennheiser HDR180 Fan have two headphones and have to make this many hours, so are not totally bad investment for my needs. The quality of the upholstery is very good. If only the pads are "greasy", dusty and worn with your headphones, this offer is worth considering. But I think the plastic ring that fastens the cushion to the actual headphones as the only real flaw of this great headphone. In this respect, I bought new orginale cushion at Sennheiser (only slightly more expensive), where I regret to report that one of those too stupid little plastic hook is weakening again.
