The stock leatherette pads are integral to the ANC seal. When they degrade, both comfort and ANC performance suffer. Dekoni's Choice range replaces them with materials that maintain the seal while lasting longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAvailable materials\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoice Leather:\u003c\/strong\u003e Protein leather over memory foam.

Dekoni offers their Elite Sheepskin as the upgrade option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MDR-Z1R's cup geometry requires a specific fit.

The sheepskin construction is more durable than the stock material and feels better against the ear during extended listening sessions.
