Earpads/cushion replacement for JBL Quantum 100s?

[TheNawab]

The cushions on my JBL Quantum 100s are really worn out and the only replacements on Amazon India are like 3/4 the cost of the headphone lol.

Any leads for this?

JBL UK (

Ear pads for Quantum 100 | Ear Pads (L+R)

) sells them but couldn’t find them on JBL India’s website.

I use replacement ear pads from a brand called crysendo for most of my headphones. But it looks like they don’t have ear pads in stock for the quantum 100. They do have stock for other quantum models though. You could give them a try if you think they’ll fit.

Also, if you’re only worried about the looks, these days you get something called ear pad covers. They are simple cloth based wraps with elastic bands to hold them over the cushions (like fitted bedsheets for your ear pads, if you will). You can give them a try. They should conform to the shape of your ear pads.

Oh, I didn’t know these existed. These will help me out as the foam itself is in quite nice shape just the outer fake leather layer is peeling off. I will give them a try. Thanks.

Do these if at all, muffle any sound?

I haven’t tried them, sorry. But I suspect they won’t alter the sound much as they appear to be quite thin from the looks of it.

Update on the earpad covers. They arrived today and are a pretty good fit over the original cushions. As far as I noticed, the fabric is nice and breathable and contributes to no sound muffling. I ordered them directly from the manufacturer’s website rather than Flipkart and they give a better price + free shipping. I asked them about replacement earpad cushions as well and they have said that they stay out of stock due to low demand, oh well this is fine I guess.

They might even stock it just for you, I had left them a request to bring light grey velour ear pads for my jabra revo headphones through amazon’s contact seller option, and I find that it’s in stock in a few weeks.

And the ear pad covers looks cool. It’s given your headphone a rasta make over. Especially with the braided cable.
