These might fit old magnetic phones like the Western Electric 509W and many similar. Their ear pieces are 2-1/4 inch. Pads were made for them in the distant past.

There were at least two designs of panels for the ANBH-1 and many other circumaural pads for more modern phones that will fit.

Check the Voarmaks store on Amazon. They also make replacements for other models.

The cushions need at least 2 1/4" to be secured. If one could fabricate a thin adaptor ring, 2" inside and 2 1/4" outside diameter they would arguably be OK. They will work, as Dave indicated, with the older H-13 headsets and, in fact, make them ever so much more comfortable. So, did not waste a few bucks!
