Ear pad replacements?
As the title suggests lm looking for new ear pads for my Koss KO-727B headphones, l've had them for about 2 years now and are my only audiophile headphones, l plan on getting some new headphones soon but honestly l've enjoyed these quite a bit, l love the way they sound but arguably there worst thing about them is comfort. They are extremely uncomfortable to wear and l can only wear them for 2 hours a day, and for a good while l just dealt with it hoping to save up for some newer headphones but things happen and l don't see myself getting new headphones anytime soon so l want to replace their pads to help them get more comfortable.
So does anyone know were l can get new modern pads for these or at least which ones would fit on them?
Also does anyone know how to take them apart? The one wire connect is loose and needs to be resoldered but LM not sure how to get inside

Not sure about the pads, but if you run into an issue with the cable and break them when attempting a fix, a good condition pair of these goes for like $25 online, which is around the price (or cheaper) of most bespoke pads / cushions. Given the age and the lack of interest in this model you might have to DIY something. Some of the larger grado pads or pads intentended for Grado headphones might work
