I have bought the other model from this seller that is also round but without velvet. It has been losing scraps from the leather, that I assume is faux (the product page says sheepskin), for many months already. So now I bought this one because it has less leather. My headphone is a Philips A5PRO. Still trying to find one that will last me more than a couple of years.
Just as good as in pictures ! Gentle and big, gives big bass boost compared to original on Sennheiser HD215 ! As others have said, doesn't include plastic insert which has to be reused from the original.
