NjacYes. These pads have been designed to maintain the sound signature of the M series headphone by keeping the distance between your ears and the driver the same. We also increased width of the pad on the inside to compensate for the inherent loss of bass when you change to a "breathable" pad. The result is a more comfortable ear pad that does not degrade the audio quality of your headphones.
The brainwavz Earpads use memory foam which is less compliant and also pushes the driver further away from the ear, resulting in a different sound signature.
Ultimately, it's a matter of personal preference with any of this.

soundproThanks.
I have the Brainwavs at the moment but I dislike how they change the sound signature so much, I think I will get a pair of these to replace them.
What is the isolation like with these?
