Nope, definitely not leather and more of vinyl. I was quite disappointed that both my 1.5 years old pads & headband have begun sign of aging.

I've just got a price estimate from Jeremy. The total for a set will be around $100-$120, depending on materials and construction time.
Is that the price for both earpads & headband? Heck, for that price I might as well double my order.

You are lucky then. I'm almost sure that this has something to do with temperature and humidity. And I'm also sure that this will eventually happen to everyone, sooner or later. I don't have a good camera here right now, but I will post pictures of the flaking vinyl soon.

Gary, is your pair from the 2005 batch?
If it is, it's about the same age as mine.
Mine only showed signs of cracking/flaking about two weeks ago. So, it's not hard to believe that yours is still OK.
The problem is that when it starts flaking, it flakes like crazy!

Please count me in, for 2 complete sets. Mine are mint, just replaced by Senn, and the old ones weren't bad either (these were dealer demo stock, so I wanted them replaced), but it seems like I will hit this problem like everyone else sooner or later.

Is is easy to change these? I am all thumbs.

Thanks, wavoman. It's really easy to replace. For the earpads just pull to disasemble and push to assemble.
For the headband, you will need to remove one earcup and take 3 screws off from one of the headband sides in order to allow its pad to be removed/assembled.
It's not difficult to figure out how to do it, but I can make a little tutorial with pictures.

Thanks! That would be a world-class sticky!

BTW, Senn charges about $300 for the parts, labor, and shipping if you do this by sending them your phones. And who wants to risk shipping these anyway? (I drove mine there, but not everyone can do that).

Thank you, everyone.
If you guys with only one set on order want to double it, you will be very welcome

Seriously, I don't think this will ever happen again. This is a unique chance.

Was wondering this myself. Is the HE90 not the same size as the HE60/600/650? I would want a pair if it is
