Need advise for HD560S earpad (alien.top)

Would this be compatible with the HD560s? I've read a Reddit post saying that the pads on the HD560s are the same ones as the HD 559, 558, 555 so I'm unsure if the product will be compatible with mine since they did not list the HD560s

The HD 560S uses the same pad mounting system as HD 51-, 55- and 59- series, so anything advertised for those should fit on the 560S.

This looks like the same generic earpads that you can buy on AliExpress, Amazon, eBay and a million other websites. The velour variant actually sounds pretty close to stock, but it's much less comfortable to me; the other variants completely ruin the sound. I'd rather get stock HD 51-/55-/59-/560S pads if possible.

All 500-series apart from the old HD580 use pretty much the same pads.

Pads are an integral part of the tuning of a headphone. Be careful when buying third-party pads.
