The stock earpads will eventually need replacing, just like many other headphone earpads will.
And when you do decide to replace them, Dekoni Audio genuine lambskin leather replacement earpads made for the AKG "K" series headphones are the way to go. Not only are they more comfortable and cooler to wear, but they last longer than the stock pads do.
These Dekoni Audio pads also do not appreciably change the sonic signature of the stock K553 MK II either, because they very much resemble the stock earpad design.
