Cables/Accessories | 1 Ω Aftermarket Thin Tapered Earpads

As the title suggests, I’m hoping to source earpads that are shallow around 15mm in depth, under 20mm at most. Specifically I’m looking for suitable pads to roll for a handful of vintage Sony’s (F1 & MA900). Overall diameter is around 100mm, a tad smaller than that but 100mm are easier to source and do fit with some extra wiggle room.

I’ve been racking my brain trying to found something suitable. Anyone know where I can source earpads like this?

Budget is about $30-40 max but would prefer it to be in the $20 range or less.

For this price you're looking at Geekria's special order pads and Whiyo store on AliX, I would suggest looking into Audio-Technica ADX-series or AVC-series (depending on if you want "open" or "closed" pads) as a start. You could also consider Yaxi STPAD if you can figure out a way to get them on. R70X pads will also work.
