How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want like-for-like replacement pads built specifically for the Marshall Major IV with a memory-foam and protein-leather sandwich and a 180-day warranty, choose HoneTeek Replacement Major IV; if you need replacement cushions that cover the whole JBL Tune 700/710/720/750/760/770 family and come with a one-year manufacturer warranty, choose HAOMUK Replacement Ear Pads.
• HoneTeek Replacement Major IV — biggest strength: a single-model fit for the Marshall Major IV, made from memory foam plus protein leather and sized to match the original pads, with a 180-day warranty.
• HoneTeek Replacement Major IV — biggest trade-off: it fits only the Major 4.0 / Major IV. It will not work on Major I, II or III, so there is no cross-compatibility safety net.
• HAOMUK Replacement Ear Pads — biggest strength: broad compatibility across six JBL Tune models, tool-free installation, and a one-year manufacturer warranty.
• HAOMUK Replacement Ear Pads — biggest trade-off: it does not fit JBL Live series or Elite 700/750, so a wrong assumption about your model means a wasted purchase.
• Who each pick is for: HoneTeek for a Major IV owner who wants an exact-match refresh of one specific headphone; HAOMUK for a JBL Tune owner — or a household with several Tune models — who wants one pad style that covers a wide range.
The HoneTeek pads are a narrow, deliberate product. They are built for one headphone and one headphone only: the Marshall Major 4.0 / Major IV on-ear wireless model. That specificity is the whole point. Because the pads are made to the same dimensions and material recipe as the originals — memory foam wrapped in protein leather, in black — the swap is meant to be visually and physically seamless rather than an obvious aftermarket add-on.
What does that buy you in practice? On an on-ear headphone, the pad is doing three jobs at once: sealing against the ear, cushioning the clamp force, and shaping how much outside noise reaches the driver. HoneTeek leans on all three in its spec sheet, describing the memory foam as sound-insulating and the pad as reducing outside noise while cushioning vibration between your ear and the headset. Read that as a design intent rather than a lab claim: a fresh pad that sits flush against your ear restores the seal that a flattened, cracked or compressed original pad has lost, and a restored seal is what makes an on-ear headphone sound like itself again.
Comfort is the other half. The protein leather surface and memory foam are chosen to be soft against the ear, which matters on a Major IV because on-ear pads press directly on the outer ear rather than surrounding it. If your current pads have gone shiny, hard or flaky — the usual end state of a heavily used on-ear pad — this is the wear pattern the product is aimed at.
Installation is described as a seconds-long job: pull the old pad off, press the new one on. HoneTeek also states the pads will not fall off easily, which is the failure mode people actually worry about with press-fit on-ear cushions.
Buy it if you own a Marshall Major IV and want a close-to-original replacement in black, with a 180-day warranty behind it. Skip it if you own a Major I, II or III, or any other headphone brand — the compatibility list is a single model, and there is no overlap with the JBL range at all.
HAOMUK plays the opposite game: one pad design, many headphone models. The compatibility list covers the JBL Tune 700 (700BT), 710 (710BT), 720 (720BT), 750 (750BT and 750BTNC), 760 (760NC) and 770 (770NC). That is a wide net across the Tune line, and it is the reason someone with a Tune 760NC and a partner with a Tune 720BT can order the same thing twice and be right both times.
The build is memory foam with a protein-leather cover — the same basic material story as the HoneTeek pads, and a sensible one for a headphone pad. HAOMUK's own wording is that the cushions are soft and durable and do not press on the ears, and that the pads are the same size as the originals. The measurements on the listing back up the "same size" idea: roughly 2.99 by 3.62 inches across the face, which is the kind of footprint you would expect on a round-ish over-ear cup.
Installation is spelled out step by step: pry along the edge, pull the old ear cups off, line up the holes, insert, press the mounting points down until it seats. No tools. That is a genuinely useful thing for anyone who has never replaced a pad before and is worried about tearing a mounting ring.
The "brand new look" angle is not just marketing filler. Pads are the first thing to degrade on any headphone — the part you touch, sweat on and stuff into a bag. Replacing them is often the cheapest way to make a five-year-old headphone feel current again, and HAOMUK frames the product exactly that way.
The warranty is the quiet advantage here: one year from the manufacturer, versus the shorter window on the HoneTeek pads. If you are the type who wants a longer safety net on a consumable part, that difference is worth weighing.
Side-by-Side: Which Should You Choose?
• Own a Marshall Major IV → HoneTeek Replacement Major IV. It is the only one of the two that fits your headphone.
• Own a JBL Tune 700/710/720/750/760/770 → HAOMUK Replacement Ear Pads. HoneTeek will not fit, full stop.
• Want the closest match to the original pad → HoneTeek Replacement Major IV. It is described as the same size and material as the original Major IV pad, in black.
• Want the widest model coverage → HAOMUK Replacement Ear Pads. Six Tune models, one product.
• Want the longer warranty → HAOMUK Replacement Ear Pads. One year from the manufacturer versus 180 days.
• Replacing pads for the first time and want hand-holding → HAOMUK Replacement Ear Pads. The listed steps walk you from prying the old cup off to pressing the new one into place.
• Care most about noise sealing and audio fidelity on an on-ear headphone → HoneTeek Replacement Major IV. Its spec sheet is built around sound insulation and restoring the ear-to-driver seal.
• Best for a household with mixed headphones → HAOMUK Replacement Ear Pads if everyone is on the JBL Tune line; otherwise you need both.
In my opinion, this is not a close call — it is a compatibility decision dressed up as a comparison. The two products barely overlap in who they serve, and no amount of spec-sheet reading changes that.
If you own a Marshall Major IV, I would buy the HoneTeek Replacement Major IV. It is purpose-built for that one headphone, matches the original pad size and material, and comes with a 180-day warranty.
If you own any JBL Tune 700, 710, 720, 750, 760 or 770 variant, I would buy the HAOMUK Replacement Ear Pads — the wider model coverage, the clearer installation steps and the one-year manufacturer warranty make it the more forgiving purchase of the two.
Check your exact headphone model before ordering either one. That single step prevents the only real mistake available here.
FAQ
No. HAOMUK states the pads fit the JBL Tune 700, 710, 720, 750, 760 and 770 families, and that they do not fit the JBL Live series or the Elite 700 and 750. Confirm your model number before buying.
Both use memory foam with a protein-leather cover in black. The HoneTeek pads carry a 180-day warranty; the HAOMUK pads carry a one-year manufacturer warranty. Material-wise they are close — the meaningful difference is coverage, not construction.
If your pads are worn, flat or flaking and the rest of the headphone still works, replacing the pads is the more sensible move — it is the part that takes all the wear. Prices change, so check the current price on Amazon before deciding.
