sennheiser-hd-475 tweak

I have a pair of sennheiser-hd-475 which have grown painful to use as the fabric on the ear piece has wrinkled

I eased the ear pieces off & discovered the thin foam in the earpiece centre had almost completely disintegrated & crumbled, so I removed all the foam & brushed the crap out.

I then cut out a new foam pad from 12mm thick grey cell packing foam to the shape (with a clear hole for the centre), & simply laid this over the pad & clipped the fabric cover back. The result is wonderful - they are now so comfortable & its like having a new set of phones.

They sound better too.

Spare pads retail about £18 in the UK

one thing has been concerning me about the crumbled foam -

Only 2 segments in the driver had foam left, & all the other segments were more or less disintegrated & yet there wasn't much of it in the grille cloth covers when I eased them off- Where did it go?

I'm hoping that none of it got blasted into my eardrums through the cloth
