Buy the real ones or sacrifice comfort

These installed easily and may work fine for the casual user. I probably wear my headphones 30 hours/week, and could tell immediately with one original and one replacement ear cushion on that these are more firm and don't conform to my head as well. If you don't plan on wearing these often or taking several flights/sleeping on planes in them MAYBE you want to roll the dice. Otherwise, heed this review and the others concerned with comfort, pony up $12 extra for the real ones and don't worry about regretting which ones you bought on your next hundred flights.
