While waiting for my JVC HA-S500s, I have decided to change my Sol Republic -
Tracks HD to make them better, as they have a sentimental value to me.
My plan was to implement new ear cushions to get them the comfort of a
full-size headphone, and the size of a portable headphone.
Sadly, it does not seem to be that easy.
After contacting customer support about 5 times, I was told that there was no possible way to
obtain new ear cushions, (So much for "easily-replaceable parts".) so I decided to browse for
some that could work. After some time, I found the Beyerdynamic EDT 250 pads on Amazon,
and it seemed that they could get some work done, but I have no exact measurement for these!
You see, the pads that are used by Sol Republic have 6 plastic divots that are used to hold to the
sound engine. The Beyerdynamic EDT 250 pads have 4. That seems fine, but I do not know if they
are compatible! I was hoping that someone with these pads could measure the small divots that
are used to attach them to the headset.
As you can see, they seem rather similar, so I was hoping if someone could measure the distance
between divots, so I could compare them to my sound engine, or if someone knows how to get a
replacement that could get close to these.
Thank you for your time.
