Those are leather though (as least from what I could find on their respective sites). Maybe I'm the crazy one, but 70 bucks for fabric earcups is pretty steep, especially then there's not even any customisation involved.
Got a tip for us?

I’m pretty sure those fabric cups will last longer than the leather cups.
Had a momentum over ear and replaced ear cups once for €30 when it started peeling off. They aren‘t comfortable for long term use due to non breathable. I like the fabric of APM, though it was itchy at first. Surely apple considered leather cushions, will not be surprised if there is an APM pro with leather cushions.I’m pretty sure those fabric cups will last longer than the leather cups.
I wouldn't know, the cups on my Sony's are definitely pleather. I was just making the point that materials play a role in pricing.I’m pretty sure those fabric cups will last longer than the leather cups.
Anyone who ordered the new cups this week get their shipping date bumped? I ordered the sky blue on the day they came out and had express delivery for today. It even went into preparing for shipment yesterday. This morning, it gave me an expected delivery of March to April. I couldn’t believe it. Very unlike Apple. I called and there was nothing they could do. Anyone else get this?
Adore the black with the silver APM. I usually gravitate toward white/silver but when I have to replace the ear pads on my silver APM, I'm going to get the black ones.
