⭐ Why Major II ear pads don't last forever
The Major II is an on-ear headphone: the pads sit directly on your ears instead of around them. That makes the cushions work harder than on bigger over-ear designs. Every hour of commuting, calls or music squeezes the foam, warms it up and soaks it with sweat and skin oil.
After a few years the foam stays flat, the PU leather cracks along the edge and the headphones start to press, slip or sound thinner. The good news: it is the pads that wear, not the headphones. Swapping the ear cushions is a quick fix that costs far less than a new pair.
🧠 Memory foam
Adapts to the ear and spreads pressure, which matters most on an on-ear fit.
🛡️ PU leather skin
Smooth, easy to wipe clean and in keeping with the Marshall look.
🔧 Easy swap
Pull off the old pads, press on the new ones.
🩺 Time to replace them if you notice…
the foam doesn't spring back
flakes on your ears or hands
sore after a short while
the seal no longer holds
bits or powder escape
sweat has soaked in
🧪 30-second test: press your thumb into the pad and let go. If the dent stays, the foam is spent.
🎨 Black, white or brown
Pick the shade that matches your headphones. Each one keeps the retro character the Major is known for.
⚫ Black
The safe classic that matches the original.
⚪ White
Brighter, stands out more.
🟤 Brown
Vintage tone in the Marshall spirit.
📌 Major II vs Major II Bluetooth: same pads
These ear pads fit the Marshall Major II and the Marshall Major II Bluetooth. They follow the square on-ear shape used on this model. Check the name on your headband before ordering, since later Majors use different pads.
⚠️ Not for Major III, IV or V. Those models have their own pages, linked at the bottom of this page.
🧵 What the pads are made of, and what to expect
A soft PU leather outer layer sits over a dense memory foam core. The PU leather is smooth and simple to maintain, and the memory foam gives the pad a softer, more supportive feel than a worn original.
A fresh pad also helps the seal around your ear, which supports passive isolation and bass. Results depend on head shape, glasses and how you wear the headphones. The pads do not change the drivers or the Bluetooth electronics.
🚆 Commuting
A snug fit that stays put on the move.
💼 Office
Softer pressure through long calls.
🎵 Everyday music
Back to the sound you remember.
♻️ Keeping them
A fix instead of a replacement headphone.
🛠️ Fit them in 4 steps
- Remove the old ear pads: gently pull the worn cushions away from the mounting ring.
- Align the new ones: position them evenly on the ear cup, left and right the right way round.
- Press around the edge: work progressively until fully secured.
- Check the fit: no gaps, wrinkles or loose areas before regular use.

🧼 Make them last
- Wipe with a barely damp cloth. No solvents or strong alcohol.
- Let them dry before folding the headphones into a bag.
- On white pads, remove marks early so they don't set.
- Avoid hot cars and long sun exposure.
- Replace both pads together when one shows wear.
❓ Questions about Marshall Major II ear pads
Will these fit my Marshall Major II Bluetooth?
Yes. They fit both the standard Major II and the Major II Bluetooth.
Can I use them on a Major III, IV or V?
No. They are made for the Major II only. Later Majors have their own ear pads, linked at the bottom of this page.
How do I know I have a Major II and not a Major III?
Check the model name printed on the headband or inside the ear cup, or look at the original box or your invoice. If it says Major II, you are in the right place.
Are ear pads and ear cushions the same thing?
Yes. They are two names for the same part: the padded rings that touch your ears.
Are these original Marshall parts?
No. They are high-quality compatible replacement ear pads made for the Marshall Major II.
Which color should I choose?
Match your headphones: black for the classic look, white for a brighter finish, brown for the vintage tone.
Will the headphones feel more comfortable?
Fresh memory foam restores softness and spreads pressure better than flat, worn pads, which matters on an on-ear headphone.
Will the sound or isolation change?
A fresher seal can support bass and passive isolation. Slight differences are possible with different materials and thickness, and the pads do not change the drivers.
Do I need tools to fit them?
No. Remove the old pads, align the new ones and press around the edge.
What's in the order?
One pair (left + right) in your chosen color. The headphones are not included.
Should I replace both pads?
Yes. Both sides wear at the same rate, and a matching pair keeps the fit balanced.
How do I clean PU leather ear pads?
A barely damp cloth is enough. Skip solvents and strong alcohol, and let the surface dry.
My headphones still work. Is it worth just changing the pads?
Yes, that is the ideal case. You keep working headphones and renew only the worn part, for a fraction of the price of a new pair.
Do I need to clean anything before fitting the new ear pads?
Yes, it helps. Wipe the mounting ring dry to remove dust and any residue from the old pads, then press the new ones on evenly.
Are the left and right ear pads different?
The pair is supplied as left and right. Note which side each old pad came from before removing it, and fit the new ones on the matching side.
Will the new ear pads feel different from the originals?
They are designed to match the original square on-ear shape. The memory foam gives a soft, supportive feel, and slight differences in thickness or firmness compared with your old pads are possible.
How often should I replace Marshall Major II ear pads?
There is no fixed schedule. Replace them when they go flat, crack, peel or become uncomfortable. Heavy daily use and sweat make that happen sooner.
Do the white ear pads get dirty easily?
Light colors show marks more than black. Wipe them with a barely damp cloth soon after, before the marks set.
Can I choose a different color from my headphones?
Yes. Brown or white pads on a black Major II is a simple way to change the look. Just make sure both pads are the same color.
