Well Amazon has free returns, so no harm in trying. Gotta admit, I’m a little anxious for you now. Hope it works out!!

Currently parked in it!

Yup. Find me a car that respects my privacy and won’t advertise to me and I’m in.

Edit to add: and no fuucking subscriptions to enable things the car can already do but disabled in software.

Like with all tasks of this nature, you tend to go through some duds. I search up on Reddit and Lemmy for ideas and take those to Amazon and eBay. That said, while not perfect, soulwit and geekria are who I got my pads from and would buy again. Both are on Amazon.

FYI, in my experience it takes a few days for new pads to “cure” into place (assuming it’s on completely). Once they have gone tight around the cup, it’s fine (for me).

Just replace the ear pads if you can. I’ve used both velour and micro suede pads on my SONY MDR v6 and 600 and it’s been a solid replacement. It’s been eight years now and no issues.

Nifty find and thanks for posting such clear pictures! It’s def a roach. I think that would be Ectobius pallidus (though it can be similar to other species) and here’s some info about it you will enjoy:
