earpads
Soft headphone covers
Earpads are the cushioned parts of headphones that rest against or around the ears.
They provide comfort during extended use and help create a seal for better sound isolation.
Earpads wear out over time and are often replaceable: The earpads on my headphones are cracking—I need to order new ones.
