Very comfortable and coupled very close to your ear!! Perfect!
 

    
Far right is original chamois pad.
I used an Exacto knife to start with and ended up with a steel burr on a drill press.
You could use a drill motor also and even a drum sander like below.
Like in Method #1, drill small holes in side of element to accept the yoke,
or put a hose clamp on the element and pre drill through it to hold the yoke like Mike Tuggle does (I think).
 


 
 

Sectional view of the ear pad (I know , I know,  looks terrable!). Cut away on the white dotted line.

Add headband with cords and you have a nice headphone set up!!!
