But Are They An Improvement?
I've used these to replace the tired old vinyl ear pads on my (now rather old) DT100s. I use them in a project studio environment, mainly for tracking vocals etc. in an isolation booth.
These are fairly easy to swap for the stock vinyl pads that come with a pair of DT100s, and once you've wrestled them in to place are unlikely to come off without you wanting them too.
The finish is, as described, velour. This is (subjectively) more comfortable on the head, although those with stubbly beards might find the stubble on velour a little 'velcro'-ish.
One might expect that the seal between head and pad to be slightly less sealed than the stock pads, but I haven't noticed any more pronounced headphone spill.
I have found these to make my head sweat far less than the vinyl pads, and after prolonged use in a (warm) vocal booth, that's something that matters. This seems an improvement, but on the flip side there's a nagging suspicion that these are less hygenic and that sweaty singers that have visited have left their sweat on my velour, rather than being able to wipe clean (like the vinyl ones).
Overall these pads are fine, and offer a slightly more classy feel than the original pads. This comes with the caveat that I am not actually sure that it's an improvement. I certainly wouldn't pimp my DT100s straight out the gate with them, I'd wait until new pads were needed, then choose whether these are what you want to replace them with.

Perfect fit and comfortable to wear
DT-100's haven't changed much for years and all the parts can be bought separately which is a fantastic feature when you have found some headphones that you like; a part breaks and you just replace it rather than having to buy a new pair of headphones...which will probably be different to the ones that you had for years and really liked.
These pads replaced the original leather-like ones and feel far more comfortable to wear ; not initially cold to the touch like the leather style ones and not sticky after long periods. I'm not sure that the sound insulation is quite as good but that is a minor thing from my point of view.
