Fix Ear Pads

Replacement ear pads for major headphone brands

Fix Ear Pads is a UK-based supplier of replacement ear pads for headphones, operating alongside its parent repair business, Fix Headphones. The company states that its core business is headphone repair and that, after more than ten years in operation, it has sourced the parts it uses in that service and now sells them directly through Fix Ear Pads.

The catalogue covers ear pads for Apple, Beats, Bose, Bowers & Wilkins, Gaming, JBL, Jlab, Logitech, Marshall, Sennheiser, Skullcandy, Sony and other brands. Prices start from £15. The company describes itself as the only supplier of the entire Beats by Dre Solo 3, Studio 3, Solo 4 and Studio Pro ear pad collection in the UK.

Popular products in the range

The site highlights several specific models as popular products, each with its own product page:

• Beats Solo 4 Ear Pads
• Beats Studio Pro Ear Pads
• Sony WH-1000XM5 Ear Pads
• Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra Ear Pads

Why replace worn ear pads

The company frames the product around the wear that headphones accumulate over time. It notes that ear pads on headphones owned for a while are likely to lose the fresh condition they had when new, and points to smells, stains and general ageing from ongoing use as the typical reasons to replace them. It presents replacement as the solution to those problems rather than buying new headphones.

Fitting and tutorials

Fix Ear Pads explains that each headphone model is different and that the repair process is broken down on each product page. It describes the common procedure as pulling or prying off the old ear pad and inserting the new one, and it directs customers to video tutorials for guidance.

Repair service for additional faults

For problems beyond the ear pads, such as sound or power issues, the company redirects enquiries to its parent company, Fix Headphones, which provides a quote on request. Fix Ear Pads also offers its own repair service, priced at £20, with a page explaining what the process involves. The parent operation extends to Fitbit repairs, smartwatch repairs and the sale of smartwatch straps.

Contact and response times

The company states that email is the best way to reach it and that replies are sent between 09:00 and 16:00, Monday to Friday. An inquiry form is also available on the site, with responses given in the same timeframe. A frequently asked questions page is offered for preliminary queries.
