Replacement Earpads Cushions for Bose QC35 QC35II - Soft, Thicker Fit

In this review of the Replacement Earpads Cushions for Bose QC35 and related models, the bottom line is simple: these pads are a practical, low-cost way to restore comfort and isolation to older over-ear Bose headphones. They are intended for owners of QC35 I and II, QC25, QC15, QC2 and several AE and SoundTrue/SoundLink around-ear models who want a near-original feel without buying new headphones. Installation is straightforward and the cushions use soft foam and protein leather to match original comfort while adding a little extra thickness for better noise isolation.

Key Features

• Wide compatibility: Fits QC35 II, QC35 I, QC25, QC15, QC2 and AE2-series plus SoundTrue and SoundLink around-ear models for broad reuse across many Bose headphones.
• Near-original feel: High quality foam and protein leather recreate the soft touch of original earpads so headphones feel like new again.
• Added thickness: Slightly thicker cushions improve passive noise isolation compared with worn pads, helping to restore listening immersion.
• Tool-free replacement: The pads remove and install in minutes without tools, using tabs and adhesive backing for a quick swap.
• Durable materials: Protein leather and resilient foam resist deformation so the pads should hold shape during extended use.
• Value option: Priced as an economical alternative to factory parts while delivering comfort and fit that customers praise.

Who It's For

These replacement earpads are best for owners of compatible Bose over-ear models who have worn, flattened, or torn original pads and want an easy refresh. They suit commuters, remote workers, and anyone who values restored comfort and improved passive isolation without professional repair.

Not ideal for people who require exact factory-certified parts for warranty claims or collectors seeking original-branded components; also those with incompatible earcup shapes should confirm model fit before purchase.
