Headphone trouble usually shows up in two places: the cushion that wraps around your ear or the cable that carries the sound. Instead of replacing the entire pair, these four audio headphone parts let you fix the weak point and keep a familiar fit. The challenge is knowing which replacement matters for your model, and whether a lower-priced part is enough or the higher-priced option is worth the jump.
Quick Take
- If you own a Bose QC Ultra or Ultra 2.0 and the earpads no longer seal the way they used to, the Dekoni Audio Choice Leather Replacement Earpads are the direct fix.
- If you have a Fostex Massdrop X00, TH610, or TH900 and want more control over pad pressure, the Dekoni Audio Attenuation Ring is a small, model-specific upgrade.
- If you need a cable with an in-line microphone and control, the Audio Cable Cord with in-line Microphone and Control for Headphones Replacement is the straightforward pick.
- If your Bose OE2, OE2i, SoundLink On-Ear, or SoundTrue pads are worn, the Ear Pads Foam for BOSE OE2 OE2i Sound link On-Ear Headphones Replacement Cushion gives you memory foam and protein leather.

Product Notes
Dekoni Audio Choice Leather Replacement Earpads for Bose QC Ultra and Ultra 2.0
If your Bose QC Ultra or Ultra 2.0 earpads have flattened out, this option is built around restoring the seal around your head. The Choice Leather version uses a synthetic leather surface, aimed at isolation and bass for commuters, travelers, and office listening. The trade-off is airflow: the non-breathable surface favors sound isolation over breathability. That makes it a comfortable choice for short to medium sessions, but not the most airy pad for long, warm listening days. It is specifically for the QC Ultra family, so it will not help with a different headphone model.
Dekoni Audio Attenuation Ring Fostex Massdrop X00, TH610, and TH900 Headphones
Fostex owners who want more control over how a pad sits against the headphone have a small, model-specific tool here. This Dekoni Audio ring is made for the Fostex Massdrop X00, TH610, and TH900, and it pairs with Dekoni X00 Platinum or Elite pads. A little alignment goes a long way: the ring sits at the attachment point and the holes need to line up before the pad goes back on. The limitation is model-specific: unless you own one of those three Fostex headphones, this ring does not apply to you. For the right model, it offers a way to change attenuation rather than leaving the pad pressure as is.
Audio Cable Cord with in-line Microphone and Control for Headphones Replacement
The cable is the most straightforward part in this group. It is a replacement cord with an in-line microphone and a control, so it can serve as a spare cable or a way to bring call and playback controls to a headphone that accepts a removable wire. It is also a used item, so expect some wear from previous use. Because it is just an earphone cable, it solves only the wiring side of a headphone problem. If your issue is cushioning rather than the cord, another option in this guide will make more sense.
Ear Pads Foam for BOSE OE2 OE2i Sound link On-Ear Headphones Replacement Cushion
These replacement cushions target the Bose OE2, OE2i, SoundLink On-Ear, and SoundTrue On-Ear series. The construction uses high-density memory foam and protein leather, and the color option here is black with blue. The goal is a comfortable fit, less outside noise, and more bass, which makes the set a practical swap for tired original cushions. The trade-off is compatibility: it is matched to that specific Bose family, so it will not double as a universal earpad. If your Bose on-ear pads are cracked or worn down, this is the type of direct replacement that keeps the rest of the headphone in service.
Final Recommendations by Use Case
Across the $5-to-$39.99 spread, the right part depends on which component is failing. If you own a Bose QC Ultra or Ultra 2.0 and want a tighter seal, the Dekoni Audio Choice Leather Replacement Earpads are the focused choice at the top of the range. If you own a Fostex Massdrop X00, TH610, or TH900, the Dekoni Audio Attenuation Ring adds tuning flexibility without a full pad replacement. If you just need a cable with microphone and control, the Audio Cable Cord with in-line Microphone and Control for Headphones Replacement is the bottom-of-range pick. And if your Bose OE2, OE2i, SoundLink On-Ear, or SoundTrue cushions are the problem, the Ear Pads Foam for BOSE OE2 OE2i Sound link On-Ear Headphones Replacement Cushion brings memory-foam comfort and bass-friendly isolation.
