Each pad uses low-rebound foam wrapped in high-grade artificial leather, matching the factory specification in both material and geometry. Fostex describes the EX-EP-61 as combining soft low-resilience cushioning with high-grade leatherette for a comfortable fit and effective sound isolation — the two properties that degrade fastest with regular use.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy pad wear matters on a closed-back dynamic\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe TH610 and TH616 are sealed designs: the acoustic chamber formed between the cup and the ear directly governs bass extension, external isolation, and stereo image stability. As the stock foam loses resilience over time, the pad-to-head contact becomes uneven, the chamber volume changes, and the low-frequency seal deteriorates gradually — often without the user noticing until a comparison with fresh pads makes it obvious. EX-EP-61 restores the original chamber geometry and with it the driver's intended frequency response. Aftermarket pads in different materials or profiles change this balance unpredictably; OEM pads do not.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation and long-term durability\u003c\/h3\u003e\nReplacement is tool-free and follows the same stretch-and-clip system used across the EX-EP accessory line: pull the worn pad off the cup rim, stretch the rear flap of the new pad over the housing edge and press into place. The process takes under a minute per side. High-grade leatherette resists abrasion better than economy synthetic materials and degrades more slowly under moisture exposure — a relevant factor for headphones used during extended sessions.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM Fostex replacement — factory-matched dimensions and mounting profile for TH610\/TH616\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-rebound foam core — even lateral pressure distribution, reduced fatigue over long sessions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-grade artificial leather outer cover — effective sound isolation and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestores factory closed-chamber acoustic seal and driver frequency response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTool-free installation — stretch-and-clip mounting onto the cup rim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as a matched pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: EX-EP-61\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOuter material: High-grade artificial leather (black)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCushion type: Low-rebound foam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible models: TH610, TH616\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackage contents: 2 ear pads (one pair)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 4995090307268\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"FOSTEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53693033382225,"sku":"59481","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/FostexEX-EP-61EarPads.jpg?v=1777976264","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/fr\/products\/fostex-ex-ep-61-ear-pads","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
