GEEKRIAVelour Headband Pad Compatible with Sennheiser HD 598/598SE/598CS/595/569/559/558/555/518/515 Game ONE PC360 PC373D, Headphones Replacement Band (Black)

This worked out great for my Sennheiser 598 that I got way back in 2013. Naturally few if any headbands are going to last that long when used literally hours a day, day after day for all that time. In that time I'm on my third set of ear pads but this was the first time I replaced the headband. So as you can imagine mine was pretty cracked out. The pad fit on the headphones perfectly. It's thicker than the stock but that didn't create any issues, it's actually more comfortable than the stock headband.The only thing I didn't like about it was like others I had an adhesion issue at first with a 1 inch spot about 1-2 inches from the end of the left side wanting to keep coming unstuck. I was expecting similar from the reviews but it was still annoying to have to keep pressing that closed. What fixed the issue for me was just narrowing the gap between the fingers on what was suppose to be a GPU brace that I instead repurposed as a headphone holder I glued up to the bottom of my desk's hutch. That holding it tight and for long periods of time right on the spot that kept coming unstuck took care of it, now it doesn't come off anymore even if I don't place it there on that spot anymore like in the pic. So if you run into the same issue clamp it with something before you end up with dust or gunk or what have you getting onto the glue, and that should take care of it.I'm really happy with this.

I should have taken a before photo ... it was pretty sad; they went downhill fast in the past couple years. I bought the ear pads from the same manufacturer, and they were awesome so I bought this too. It requires a little care if you want it straight. The adhesive is a little aggressive, but I got it on my first try without feeling like I needed to try to reposition it. Looks & feels great.

My padding was wearing out and had to find something that would fit my headphones. Looked at the measurements and this was the one that fit closest to my headphones. They did the job. It can be a bit uncomfortable while wearing them along period of time, but they will do.

The headband pad must have detached from my HD-555 years ago. Every time I put my headphones on, I'd hold the pad against them and it wouldn't ever fall out of place, so I didn't mind much.This new headband feels great and has been holding perfectly, so far.I ordered this on July 7th, 2024 and it's now October 15th.This new headband seems to be ever so slightly shorter than the original pad; I'm talking millimeters, so there is 0 perceptible difference unless you are looking directly at where it attaches to the headband.After applying the pad to the headband, I wrapped it tightly from end-to-end and gave it a good long time to make sure it was secure. I don't know if that was necessary, but it couldn't hurt.I am content with this purchase and can confidently recommend it to anyone who needs a replacement headband pad for their Sennheisers.

Update 2024-06-15: A prompt refund was provided by Geekria.After applying zip ties and straps to help the adhesive seal, I have slowly removed some of the zip ties over the past couple days. I still don't expect it to last long, but it has helped allow the pad to adhere somewhat. (This was similar to the reviewer who glued and used clamps/clothes pins to get it to stick and hold.) I still have 2 zip ties attached near the outer edges, where it doesn't impact the touch-point on top of my head as much, so the comfort is still fairly good. But, it doesn't look pretty, and shouldn't be required. I also ordered a headband cover to wrap around the headband and pad to help hold it on, and keep it clean, in attempts to avoid it separating further, and keep hair/dust/debris from getting into the adhesive.** The adhesive still needs some serious improvement, and instructions clarified to advise on how to get it to properly adhere, including the zip ties to do so (or whatever method they choose).I'd still look elsewhere, or go in knowing you will need to come up with a solution, whether it be gluing it on (and hope you can get that glue off later when you need to replace it again), or wrapping it with another product, like a headband cover.Doing it again, I'd seriously consider the ZMF Headphones pads: Pilot or Co-Pilot, or the Crescent Snap, depending on your headphones.zmfheadphones.com----------------------------------------Original review:1, Removed my old headband pad on 12 year old Sennheiser HD558s. Foam was way worn out, but it was still attached fine. Just beginning to show signs of adhesive peeling away. But, still took work to peel it off.2, Cleaned up the headband plastic really well with isopropyl alcohol. Cleaning all old residue off. Then let it dry.3, Installed Geekria headband pad per the instructions; start on one side, pressing it on from one side to the other, not to create any air gaps during application.Pressed it down around the edges multiple times to get it to seat as good as it was going to. I could tell it wasn't going to last long, even at this stage..4, Wore headphones for a couple hours. Just watching some TV, not moving around. Comfortable, noticeably more padding than my old worn out pad.5, Took headphones off, looked over the pad and adhesion quality, then took the pics shown. Would be laughable if I had not just paid $13 for this.6, Update (a couple hours later): Now I have wrapped it in zip ties, twist ties, and straps to try to hold this pad on properly.. Was comfortable before, now its not, and will likely ruin the foam.If your reading reviews, and thinking about buying this, listen to the ones that state; "Not sticky, poor adhesive, doesn't stick, peeling off after a couple hours/days/weeks/month". These are pretty clear signs of what to expect from this product.This product shouldn't exist. Waste of resources, $$, and time.Find something else, pay more if you have to. Ideally find a genuine Sennheiser pad.I wish I didn't even peel off my old, worn out Senn headband pad at this point, it was better than this.Not even interested in wasting more resources to have this product returned/replaced. I'll be looking for a legit Senn pad instead.TLDR; Get something else. Don't buy this trash.

While it's comfortable at first the way the headband bends means the adhesive falls off instantly and can catch your hair. Not worth it, look elsewhere

Like the title says. I didn't want another faux leather headband pad...not sure who would tbh.That said the pad is high quality, and would have probably stayed attached if the HD 280 pro weren't designed so oddly in terms of their head clamping mechanism. Different shape from the band too, so there is about 1/4 inch that doesn't fit inside the width of the headband.Five stars for construction, look, and feel.

Fits my HD 569 perfect, my old headband was coming off and was getting pretty worn out. Materials feel great, the adhesive is strong, and is easy to install.Do mind that the original pad has some foam pieces that help the pad stay in place even when streching the headband. This replacement does not have that, meaning it might want to unstick on the edges a bit.

Sehr gute Ersatz Polsterung für mein Sennheiser Game One. Perfekte Passform und gute Haltbarkeit. Würde ich wieder kaufen.

Correspond à la description, joli et confortable. A voir si ça tient dans le temps !

Più morbido dell'originale, mi trovo bene

Soft pad that gave extra padding on the headband, I used to have headaches from my Sennheiser headphones and was about to replace them. Thanks to this small padding, it feels I have a cushion on the head, so nice! Should have bought this long time ago - highly recommend. It's 3M glue so you know the sticking is good quality.
