It's not cheap but you can actually buy it from Syntec, the Australian distributor of Sennheiser.

HD650 parts list - the prices make me cry.

You could get a HD600 headband to save some money but I think most people will tell you to simply glue it together and paint the whole headband.

Sorry, I try to tell everyone to not bend Senns. You simply slip them on.

Yeah it's Senn's fault. Coming from K701s which you pry apart to put them on your head, I almost did the same with the Senns. Luckily I happened to be in a strange thinking mood and examined my HD650 to realise that I'd probably snap them if I did that. Quick search on HF and heaps of people have done that. I'd stick some MASSIVE warning label on the headphones so people don't do that.

I don't know about the 650. The 580 band was $79.95, with a 4 week wait.

just get your hands on some epoxy resin. I bought a resin and hardener combination tube for £4.99 and did my HFi-15G's with them and i haven't had a problem since. Sure for asthetics you might want to be a bit more thorough than me and my HFI fix, but it works.

you could see it as a short term fix.

Yup lol.

Syntec no longer sell the 580 headband. The 600 headband is $180.

Out of 181 respondents, 12 replied that their headband cracked. This isn't a statistically valid sample size, and I'd argue that a poll on the head-fi community is not a valid sampling method to determine the true durability of the product, but in terms of discreet numbers - 7.41% of those poll respondents saw a fractured headband.

Oh, sweet Jesus. $230 for a headband? Screwwwww that!

Fix the crack. Don't replace the headband. You can do this at home and save yourself a lot of cash.

Rarely and normally only with misuse.

I have an HD 580 from 1992, an HD 580 Jubilee and an HD 600 and have never had a headband problem with any of them.
