Not an exact fit for my Realistic PRO-60's
Overall
They were too small in diameter to be over ear. I used them anyway and turned my RS PRO-60's into on-ear headphones. Sound great, very comfortable and I was able to get rid of my ugly chair cushion foam! On the plus side, I can now wear my glasses with these :)

M u s t - h a v e - e a r - c u s h i o n s !!!
Overall
I only hope that there remain countless pairs of HV1A 'out there,' so that Koss will continue to make these cushions available for like - forever.
And should you guys stop making these, I hope you will give fair notice. These earphones only perform optimally with the these ear pads.
I have had my Koss' since 1980.

Overall
These are exactly like the original pads. It was difficult to remove the protective tape from the adhesive strip, but they stick very well to the 'phones. To those considering substituting R10 pads instead of these, note that the HV/1 series were designed as an 'open ear' type. That means both the back and front should be open to the air so that the movement of the diaphragm is not impeded. Using R10 pads creates a closed chamber with your ear and is likely to change the dynamics of the earphone - they probably won't sound the way they were designed to sound.
Pros: Exactly like the originals
Cons: Difficult to install

HV-1A cushions
Overall
I am using my 2nd pair of HV-1A headphones in 25+ years. Love the light weight and sound quality/clarity.
Pros: Soft, quiet, effective

Just got the R10 ear cushions from Koss (they included adhesive rings, thanks guys!!!). They are definitely a perfect alternative to the exposed-foam HV/1A cushions! Same diameter, just not as thick (which isn't a big deal). If you're like me and want the cushions to last longer, order the R10 replacements instead. Also, would like to point out that I received my replacements in 3 days. Awesome customer service, Koss. Keep up the good work! When I was chatting with customer service online, the person actually went into the storeroom to measure the R10 cushions for me. This company has great people working for them.

Great that they still make these, but...
Overall
Don't get me wrong, it's great that Koss still makes replacement cushions for the HV/1A's, but I wish they offered or recommended a plastic-covered alternative. Exposed foam breaks down after extended use, and then it's time to replace them again. I just ordered the R10 cushions and will use some adhesive to attach. I will update my review after I get them to let others know how it goes. (also, I should note: the R10 cushions are made to attach w/out adhesive, and this was NOT suggested as an alternative by Koss. This is purely my own idea).
Pros: Refresh your old headphones
Cons: Break down easily

Glad to be using my HV/1a's again!
Overall
So glad that Koss has made replacement ear pads for the HV series Stereophones, It had been about 20 years since I have listened to mine and I love them!
Pros: Same as original design, fits perfect.
