Got mine 3 days ago, enjoyed since.
Feel on the head: * Like people before have commented- a little bit itchy. The itchiness has reduced in a couple of days, friend commented it goes away in a while. Not feeling itchiness anymore when writing this review.
* Pads feel very soft on my head(my head is big)- MDR-7506's soft clamping force and soft pads is a good combo for me.
* I can use my earphones for extended periods of time- Before these I had ATH-M50x Velour Ear Pads which were an improvement over the original ones but my ears got a bit tired and I still needed some rest from the headphones. Thanks to these I don't need that rest.
Fitment: * Fit on Sony my MDR-7506. The fitment isn't perfect and putting them on requires a lot of patience, but it CAN be done. It isn't aesthetically as pleasing as m50x or OEM pads but the comfort is well worth it. The fitment is a bit uneven on different sides. See attached pictures.
* Firend has ATH-M40x and the fitment is perfect in my opinion

Sound: * Leaks more sound than with ATH-M50x velour and OEM pads. EDIT: leaks more sound both ways. * Reduces bass a tad, which might be asking a lot from MDR-7506 but i'm still happy with the results, I'm not a big bass guy anyway.
Overall I'm very pleased, the itchy-scrachy thing goes away in a couple of days (at least for me).
