Two audio headphones options sit at very different price points: one is a replacement part for headphones you already own, the other is a complete pair of over-ear monitor headphones. The $46.04 spread between the two options is the first clue that they solve different problems.
Quick Verdict
If you own ATH-WS660BT headphones and the cushions are worn, the replacement ear pads are the direct, lower-priced fix. If you need a complete closed-back wired headphone, the Audio-Technica ATH-M20x delivers a full over-ear package, but at a higher price.

Product Notes
Ear Pads Cushion for Audio-Technica ATH-WS660BT Headphones Replacement
If you already have ATH-WS660BT headphones and the ear cushions are flattened or peeling, this replacement set is the straightforward lower-priced route. It is made for the ATH-WS660BT and uses memory foam material. The color is Black&Red, so it is a specific colorway rather than a neutral universal pad. Because this is only a set of ear pads, it does not create a listening device on its own; you need the headphones to attach them to. Choose these pads when your existing audio headphones just need a refresh and you want to spend the minimum.
Audio-Technica ATH-M20x Professional Studio Monitor Headphones Over-Ear Black
If you are shopping for a complete audio headphones purchase, the ATH-M20x is the higher-priced option, but it includes the headphones themselves. It is a closed-back, over-ear design with a wired 3.5mm connection, a 3ft cable, and a bundled jack adapter. The color is Black, matching a simple studio aesthetic. The higher price is the main hurdle, and the wired connection means it will not function as a wireless headphone. Buy the ATH-M20x when you need a functional wired monitor headphone now, not just replacement parts for an older model.
Final Choice by Use Case
- Need to refresh ATH-WS660BT headphones: Go with the Ear Pads Cushion at USD 10.95.
- Need a complete wired over-ear headphone: Go with the Audio-Technica ATH-M20x at USD 56.99.
