Hello to all who have exhausted all avenues seeking instructions on how to remove and replace Ear Pads on Sony MDR-V6 Headphones.... All that is required is a little patience maybe some fingernails... The Pads simply slip on and off by pinching ends of cuff that is nearest the plastic backing of The Headphones by pulling them from their seat/flange .. i found it easiest to just roll the cuff off using my thumb w/rolling motion away from the plastic backing/housing of the headphones.. no tools required.. they are installed exactally like one would place a tire on a rim.. exact same motion is required as when removing a tire.. i can give no better illustruction than comparrison to tire removal and replacement. Be careful to make sure one end in completely set deeply into one side before attempting to pull opposing side over its side/flange..start on top and work way around to bottom or vise versa.. To get an idea of what you are attempting to do take a close look at new headphone pad rear and you will see the small flap of leather on rear .. there is a small overlap that fits perfectly over the flange.. dont try to force it as you may tear them...

Please go to this link and click the play button on the small video window. That is the instruction for MDR-CD900ST but will work for MDR-V6 / 7506.

I have MDR-V300 headphones and stumbled across this page when looking for instructions.  The post by rbdjzd helped.  I ordered replacement pads from eBay and they didn't come with instructions, but basically you need to pinch the part where the pads wrap around the edge of the phones, and pull them off.  They're just held there by an elasticy part attached that can be pulled out.  Then just wrap your new pads around the phones and tuck the elastic part in and they should stay there.

Are there replacement ear pads that will fit on my 2005 Sony headphones ?

There are lots of generic (Chinese) replacement ear pads for Sony on ebay or Amazon, you'll just have to take some measurements and try to match what's available. Check the diameter in centimeters, and the shape (round or oval). You may not find a specific listing for MDR-RF960RK but a lot are interchangeable.

Replacement pads for sony headset MDRCD6

Hi Hifi-fans.
The MDR CD6 is still my favorite, since more than 35 years. My feeling was right, I would never find a better headset than this. This was the reason, time ago I bought a second set. You can imagine meanwhile I may have to replace the x-generation of ear-pads. The first ones I ordered for a lot of money at our Sony-HQ in Colone, Germany. Meanwhile I had found a better, more flexible solution. I had checked at our electronic storehouse, which headset from another manufacturer the pads are removable without damaging. I did select the Genius HS-04S ones for the PC and they are really cheap and you may use them without the pads. At the MDR CD6 the pads does not sit much strong, but this not really a lost.
All the years I did not use the second headset, the spare one. Nevetheless the ear-pads were damaged. The covering rubber was harded and broken like old plastik. Just some minutes ago I replaced the pads by the Genius ones.
So far, good luck and I am quite sure you may find the Genius in your country.
