I bought a pair for my mom on Amazon last week for $120 + free $25 Amazon gift card. Love my pair and I'm sure she will too.

For true "buy it for life" title, get some velour ear pads. The fake-leather ones that come with a lot of headphones will fall apart. I bought a pair of these when they were $18 and I love them.

They're the best headphones I've ever owned so far. Buy velour ear pads they're much more comfortable for long periods of use!

Some Shure pads also work.

Look into the upgrades they sell for the pads. $5 and it improves the comfort a bit in my opinion without really affecting the sound.

Some of the velour pads you can get for the M50x like the ones Massdrop sells sometimes will probably be awesome for you. I think they improve the comfort on this and the M50x by a huge factor without messing up the sound. They will drain the bass a bit, but you complained about the amount of bass so that's a plus.

People will recommend the HM5 velour pads, but I think they fuck up the sound. If you don't want to wait for another Massdrop sale on the velour pads, this is the one from the drops that you can buy for $10 more or so at any time.

I like this headphone too and recommend it to people looking for <$40 headphones all the time. I wish I saw more reviews of Monoprice's other headphones. This one has been known for several years as an incredible value, but Monoprice has really expanded their selection recently.

Mmmmm Velour (well, velvet)

Not to rain on that guy's parade, but what you actually want is velour earpads.

They come up on massdrop every month or two for $20, but even at $35 they're worth it. Makes them more comfortable for extended wear (pleather gets hot and sticky) and helps absorb a bit of the high end sound leakage as well.

Fuck massdrop. Similar (same?) pair on amazon already for $30.

I got the M50x instead of the M50 because I plan on keeping them around for a while. The sound is exactly the same, but there are several other differences.

1. The M50x's come with 3 cords that are useful in different situations.
   
2. The M50x's pads are slightly more comfortable than the M50's. They're easily replaceable, though: I bought some velvet pads for when the default pads are too warm.
   
3. Transporting them in my Slappa case entails removing the cord, and that could potentially be problematic with the M50's.
   
4. I recall reading somewhere that replacing the cords on the M50's is fairly reasonable to do, but upon reading the instructions I decided that would take me more than $50 worth of effort.
   
   It's worth noting that the replaceable cords in the M50x are proprietary. There's a locking mechanism that holds them in place, so a replacement cord would need to be designed with that in mind.

These pads on amazon claim to fit all members of M-??x series. They are similar in size so most pads that fit M50x (stuff like HM5 pads, Shure 840/940) should also fit M20x I would assume, of course, YMMV.

Get [these] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F2ZM6CS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_.L08ybP09TKBE)

They are 100x more comfortable than the regular replacement pads, and they last longer

I've had the M50's for a while and had the same problem on both the ear pads and headband. The velour pads are from Massdrop but it seems like Amazon carries them as well. Here's a link to the headband cover if you're interested.

They are a pair of velour earpads that I got off Massdrop (the drop is no longer active) . However, these pads on Amazon look very similar. Since there is no branding I can't be sure if they are identical, but it looks close. Hope that helps!

got u broadie

I recommend replacement ear pads. This was uncomfortable as shit because i wore computer glasses underneath and have a fat head. This mostly fixed the problem : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F2ZM6CS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Worth the purchase. From what i understand, these headphones still have a thicker bass than other entry level headphones, which really depends on your music preference.

I wear mine for long periods of time and don't have much trouble with pressure on my ears but they get flushed and hot easily so I picked up a pair of these ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00F2ZM6CS/ref=pd_aw_sims_9?pi=SS115&simLd=1) and I have to say they are comfortable as hell. I think if you had any problem with the stock pads these would help.

Try these

Nah mind look more like these although its been long enough that im not entirely sure what exact ones i got.

I would be careful with memory foam ones like that, your isolated would probably go out the window and you'd have massive effects on the frequency response.

This or this is what /u/godisanatheist69 is talking about.

Also the Sound Professionals website needs a major overhaul, it looks very dated.

I've been looking into getting replacement pads for the m50s and I've heard great things about the ones by SoundProfessionals.

The reviews on these are pretty good. I haven't gotten around to buying my own pair of M50s but plan to once my ducks are in a row.
