hey guys
 
long time no post. if you all remember me i wear headphones virtually everywhere in my apartment despite their apparent uselessness to mask the sound. things have gotten better though and the neighbors don't really complain anymore especially after I removed all electronic equipment from my room, besides my keyboard. take that to mean wheatever you want. i don't care and that's not why i'm here.
 
i've had these headphoens for about a year now, they're sennheiser HD280 pro headphones. they're fully padded and for a long time have been very comfortable.
 
over time it seems the foam padding around the ears are showing their age and they are worn down. now before you start calling me crazy i'll tell you i talked to a friend and he says this kind of thing DOES HAPPEN. Even memory foam can lose its fluff after a long time.
 
the headphones are just less comfortable now and i am wondering if there's anything i can do besides buying new ones. i'd really like these headphones to last more than a year or two. is there anything I can do to kinda "refluff" the ear pieces?
 
thanks

Sennheiser sells replacement ear pads for their headphones on their web site, precisely because they do wear out with use and time.

thanks nc
 
i still wish they were a little less expensive (came to $25 with shipping) but i guess it's still better than buying brand new ones.

That dam shipping always gets ya in the end . . . hope they last quite a while to ease the pain$.

The DT250 pads could also fit them. 
 
They add more comfort.

ok so i got the pads. didn't get a chance to do the replacement til now
 
the pads refuse to go in! i can see they are the same size as the old ones so i know i got the right ones but it's like trying to fit a size 0 jean onto rosie odonnell lol
 
what to do? i got one on without ripping the damn thing miraculously but the other one just refuses to get on.
