I searched online for replacements of 50mm and 60 mm and could only find a handful with prices ranging from 400 to 600 INR per pair. Then just by chance I dropped into a local radio and electronic spare shop in Goa, Panjim, one of the old-style shops with shelves lined with resistors and capacitors, etc. They had a box ful of replacement sponge cushions in various sizes. Rs 15/- per pair! I bought four pairs on the spot, to take care of a Sennheiser and a Sony headphones I have.
Try and locate any such shop in Bangalore.

Did you notice any degradation of upgrade in the sound quality? Usually they do affect the sound signature little bit and in case some cases, drastically.
