Telex Stratus/Echelon Foam Ear Cushions - Pair

These Telex Stratus/Echelon Foam Ear Cushions are purpose-designed replacement components for three specific models in Telex's professional headset range: the Stratus 50D, Stratus 30XT, and Echelon 25XT. In any working audio environment — broadcast production, live events, intercom rigs, or post-production monitoring — the ear cushion is a load-bearing part of the acoustic system, not mere comfort padding. Foam cushions create the contact seal that determines passive noise attenuation; as the foam compresses and the outer surface hardens with age and sweat exposure, that seal degrades. The result is audible: more ambient noise bleeds into the monitoring signal, perceived bass response thins as the low-frequency seal breaks, and listener fatigue increases as the brain compensates for the compromised isolation. Replacing these cushions with fresh foam restores the headset to its original acoustic specification.

For broadcast engineers, stage managers, or production coordinators running Telex intercom systems, maintaining ear cushion condition is as practical a concern as keeping cables dressed and connectors clean. These cushions are built for field replacement — no tools required, no depot service needed — which makes them viable as on-site spare inventory. In shared headset environments, where multiple operators rotate through the same units across a shift, cushion hygiene and performance consistency become operational concerns rather than optional maintenance. Sold as a pair, these cushions address both ears simultaneously, ensuring you restore symmetric performance across the headset rather than introducing an acoustic mismatch between cups. For Telex Stratus and Echelon users, sourcing OEM cushions over generic alternatives preserves the fitment geometry the headset was designed around.
