Why it matters
Ear cushions are usually the first part of a premium headphone to wear out, and making them user-replaceable turns a sealed product into one with a serviceable consumable — a notable shift for a category where cushion wear often ends a set's useful life. The IPX4 rating also moves Beats' flagship over-ear into gym and workout use for the first time.
