Dekoni Audio has revealed the reintroduction of vegan earpads designed for Audeze’s LCD series of planar-magnetic headphones. This particular type of ear cushion, recognized for its comfort and unique sound qualities, was previously stopped by Audeze almost ten years ago.
Dekoni is known for its precise development of ear cushions. Their goal is to respect the original headphone design while enhancing it with meticulously selected materials and subtle sound enhancements. The new vegan ear cushions from Dekoni pledge to preserve the essence of Audeze’s original earpads while providing improved comfort and longevity for prolonged listening periods.
As per the brand, the vegan ear pads deliver a more expansive sound in contrast to leather or synthetic leather alternatives, enhancing bass control and smoothing out high frequencies. These ear cushions utilize a gentle, resilient, and breathable microsuede material for the outer layer, while incorporating memory foam that slowly regains its shape for prolonged comfort.
Dekoni partnered with audiophile and content creator DMS to ensure that the recreated earpads met the utmost standards. DMS commented, “The pads that originally captivated me about Audeze 7 years ago are finally back. Dekoni has reimagined the pads that stole my heart.”
According to the official Dekoni website, these earpads are compatible with the following models: LCD-2, LCD-2 Classic, LCD-3, LCD-4, LCD-4z, LCD-MX4, LCD-X, LCD-XC

The Dekoni vegan ear cushions for Audeze headphones are presently accessible on dekoniaudio.com, Amazon, and various retail outlets globally, priced at $89.99.
