If you want a universal-fit replacement pad in classic black with a 90-day manufacturer warranty, choose LUCKDANO Headphone Earpads; if you need pads explicitly sized for a long list of Sony and JBL on-ear and over-ear models and you don't mind a pink finish, choose XANAD Replacement Ear Pads.
• LUCKDANO's biggest strength: a thicker memory foam and protein leather build aimed at noise isolation and long-session comfort, with a 90-day manufacturer warranty behind it.
• LUCKDANO's biggest trade-off: the fit guidance is vague — "for headphone" — so you have to confirm the pad geometry against your own model before buying.
• XANAD's biggest strength: an unusually specific compatibility list covering a wide range of Sony WH-CH, MDR-ZX, ZX and MDR-V models plus several JBL Tune and Live headphones.
• XANAD's biggest trade-off: the color is pink, and the listing carries no stated warranty.
• Who LUCKDANO is for: anyone who wants a neutral black pad, prioritizes isolation and cushioning, and is willing to measure their old pads first.
• Who XANAD is for: owners of the specific Sony and JBL models named in the compatibility list who want a documented, drop-in replacement.
LUCKDANO builds these pads around two ideas: sealing and stamina. The cushion is high-density memory foam wrapped in soft protein leather, and the sheet specifically calls out increased thickness — that extra depth is what lets the pad wrap around the ear instead of pressing on it. If your current pads have flattened to the point where bass has gone thin and outside noise has crept in, that's the exact problem this design targets. The brand frames it as rejuvenating a headphone whose sound has degraded because of worn cushions, and that's a fair description of what new foam and an intact leather surface do.
The second idea is durability without stiffness. Reinforced stitching and high elasticity are listed as the features meant to keep the pad comfortable over long listening sessions rather than pinching after an hour. Installation is described as tool-free: pull the old pads, push the new ones on, done.
Where I'd pause: the compatibility description is generic. It says the pads are "specifically designed to ensure a perfect fit," but the only model reference in the sheet is "For Headphone." There's no list of Sony, JBL or Bose models here. That won't matter if you measure your existing pads and match the dimensions — but if you want the listing to confirm your exact model number for you, this isn't that product.
Buy LUCKDANO if you want a black pad, you're chasing better isolation and a thicker cushion, and you're comfortable verifying the fit yourself. Skip it if your headphone has an unusual mounting ring or an odd pad shape you can't confirm — in that case a model-specific pad is the safer bet. One more thing worth noting: the sheet lists a 90-day manufacturer warranty, which is a real, stated term rather than a vague promise.
XANAD takes the opposite approach: instead of describing the pad generically, it names names. The compatibility list covers Sony WH-CH520 and CH510, the MDR-ZX110 family including ZX110, ZX110NC, ZX220, XB200, ZX300 and ZX330BT, and a long run of MDR-V models (V100, V150, V200, V250, V300, V400). It also extends to JBL — Tune 510BT, 520BT, 570BT, 660NC, Live 460NC, 670NC, JR310BT and JR300BT. That's a genuinely broad net across two of the most common budget headphone families.
The construction is memory foam with premium faux leather, described as ear-friendly, compact and lightweight, with the faux leather chosen for longevity. XANAD also leans into appearance — the sheet talks about balancing practicality with a fashion-forward look, which makes sense given the pink finish. If you own pink headphones, or you simply like the idea of a color accent on an otherwise plain black pair, that's a genuine differentiator here. Most replacement pads come in black or dark grey; this one doesn't.
Installation follows the usual routine — remove the old pads, fit the new ones — but XANAD includes a step-by-step instruction manual in the box and asks you to read it before you start. For a first-timer who's never pried a pad off a headphone, that's a small but real convenience. You get two pads in the package, and the headphone itself is not included.
The trade-offs are worth stating plainly. The color is fixed at pink, and the sheet doesn't suggest any alternative. There's no warranty listed — the field literally reads "NO." And the compatibility list, while long, is a closed list: if your model isn't on it, XANAD isn't claiming it will fit, and the brand explicitly asks you to check the dimensions before purchase.
Buy XANAD if your headphone appears on that compatibility list and you either want the pink look or simply don't mind it. Skip it if you're set on black, if you want a stated warranty, or if your model isn't named — in those cases LUCKDANO's more general fit claims, or a different model-specific pad, make more sense.
• Best for verified model fit → XANAD Replacement Ear Pads. The compatibility list names specific Sony and JBL models; LUCKDANO's fit description is generic.
• Best for noise isolation and thicker cushioning → LUCKDANO Headphone Earpads. High-density memory foam, protein leather and increased thickness are all called out as isolation features.
• Best for long listening sessions → LUCKDANO Headphone Earpads. Reinforced stitching, high elasticity and a design intended to avoid ear pressure point to all-day wear.
• Best for a neutral color → LUCKDANO Headphone Earpads. Black only, which blends into virtually any headphone.
• Best for a color statement → XANAD Replacement Ear Pads. Pink faux leather is the whole point of that version.
• Best for first-time installers → XANAD Replacement Ear Pads. A printed step-by-step manual ships in the box.
• Best for warranty coverage → LUCKDANO Headphone Earpads. A 90-day manufacturer warranty is stated; XANAD lists none.
• Best for Sony WH-CH520/CH510 or JBL Tune owners → XANAD Replacement Ear Pads. Those exact models are named, so there's no guessing.
• Best for everyone else → LUCKDANO Headphone Earpads, provided you measure your old pads first.
In my opinion, the right pick comes down to one question: is your headphone on XANAD's list? If it is — say a Sony WH-CH520 or a JBL Tune 660NC — I'd buy the XANAD pads, because a named model match removes the single biggest risk in replacing earpads, and the included manual makes the swap painless. If your model isn't listed, or you want black pads with a stated 90-day warranty and you care most about isolation and long-session comfort, I'd go with LUCKDANO and measure your old pads before ordering. Whichever way you lean, check the current price on Amazon before committing — the numbers move, and the fit matters more than the label.
FAQ
Not necessarily. XANAD names specific Sony and JBL models, while LUCKDANO describes a general "for headphone" fit. If your model is on XANAD's list, that's the safer match; otherwise confirm dimensions against LUCKDANO.
LUCKDANO puts more emphasis on it — thicker high-density memory foam and protein leather that wraps around the ear. XANAD uses memory foam and faux leather too, but frames its pads around fit, lightness and appearance rather than isolation.
The sheet lists pink only, and the model number is literally "Pink." For a black finish, LUCKDANO is the one to look at.
LUCKDANO states a 90-day manufacturer warranty. XANAD's listing shows no warranty. That difference may matter if you're worried about seams or foam flattening early.
Both include two earpads. XANAD adds a step-by-step instruction manual; neither package includes headphones.
