What's the material of ear cushions? Does it like faux leather? will it become messy, sand-like small pieces and take off from ear pad?

It's genuine leather and the stitching on the ear cups is superb. Also, the leather is soft to the touch.

The ear piece does not come off but the cushion is quality. Like Natalia said the ear piece is genuine leather that is soft to the touch. Another thing about the headphones is that your ear will not touch the inner padding which makes it very comfortable. I am not sure how the headphones stand up to time since mine are fairly new at around 2-3 months but I can say with the amazing build quality they should last for a long time.

I wear mine while running and biking and don't have much of an issue. They come with several different options for the in-ear cushions--sorry but I can't think of what their proper nomenclature is off hand--and you may find that different ones stay put better than others. I run to a Marine Corps running cadence recording and with my iGi In-Ear Headphones it sounds just like I'm back on Parris Island with my Drill Instructors yelling at me. haha

The cushions are the same as the Sony V300 uses -- pretty much any 3rd party 70mm outer diameter ear pads *should* work. They'll cost you all of $5 per pair.

It is sort of leather and can be wiped off. Stuffed with regular cushion material. Cushions lose fluff pretty quickly.

It's rubber. The material is thick, so I had some complications getting earphones in them.

On the 2 I got they are both materials on mine. The pieces against the ear are cloth but transitions to fake leather near the housing..

They are fake leather but I like it better than real leather because my ears don't get as hot and sweaty like they would if it was real leather. The pads are really good quality and you get a lifetime warranty from vmoda with all of their products.

Looking at the product dimensions, that looks like the package. There are two ear cushions in a package. The ear cushions are approx. 2 1/8" outside and 3/4' inside. These fit the over the head monaural and binaural supra style headsets.

They are not a hard plastic, if that's what you're asking. They are a flexible rubber, and fit pretty comfortably. It also ships with extra ear pieces of different sizes.

Any way of getting say leather type ear pads for this head-set? Foam no matter how careful you are wears out fast, and this head-set hurts your ears and head once the foam padding begins to wear ....Thanks in advance. :)

The question was whether the pads were upholstered in velour or 'pleather'... well, I'm a guy and so I had to go to Wikipedia to find out what velour is, and it is a fabric, but, no, the Headphones are done in this nice stuff that looks like leather, but doesn't stink when you get it wet... probably 'pleather'. Enjoy... those things are still going strong.

The cushions are microfiber material and I would love to switch mine out if I could, but unfortunately they are sealed to the wood. If you're handy at doing wood work and fabric I say go for it

It certainly looks and feels like leather. I use them a lot and the headband is very comfortable. If it wasn't leather, I believe it would be showing some wear by now. The sound is great for the price.

The SR850 we got comes in some kind of leather/leatherette for the ear pads. The SR950 we were looking at comes in some kind of cloth-like padding (I think that's what you refer to as velour padding).

The product page said they'd be shipped from Bose and would cost $35. What arrived was shipped by a third-party vendor and cost about half that. I presume they are not genuine Bose ear cushions, especially as the covering came away from the foam ear pad as I installed one of them. I shall be returning them, and have ordered a pair from Bose's own website.

It's just a fabric backing--nothing that would harm leather. HOWEVER, this does not stay put on my corduroy furniture, so would slip around even more on leather. I finally got so tired of it that I took it off altogether. Now I just put a very bit sofa pillow on my chair when I am not sitting on it and that seems to discourage our dog from getting on it.

The construction is all plastic as far as I can tell. However, you're right in your thinking; because the ear cups are so large and round, the pillow or cushion will likely push them up on your head. From my experience it isn't a huge deal, from a comfort or listening perspective, but this is not my primary way of listening. So use your best judgment.
