Looks nice! I personally haven't had problems with the stock Pro 900 padding but if problems arise, I'll definitely try this!
What are y'all's thoughts on the HD600's headband pad in comparison to the HD650's? Sennheiser's website doesn't list the 650 pad but it does list the 600. The only place I can seem to find the 650 are UK retailers that will end up costing me upwards of $40 after shipping (damn you weak US dollar). I'll probably give Senn a call tomorrow and see if I can order the part over the phone but if I can't would the 600 pad be comparable, insofar as comfort is concerned, to the 650?

I've attached a HD650 headband to my HE-500 and also use Beyerdynamic leather earpads on the mounting rings from the new HiFiMan pleather pads. Much better
I called Sennheiser USA's parts department and placed an order for the HD650 headband pad (part number listed in the OP) for about $8 shipped. The pad is backordered for 3 weeks, but I'm in no rush. Just thought I'd let you know since the part didn't show up on the website.
Awesome info, just added it to the first post
Now I just need to get my hands on some Beyer genuine leather pads for my next mod... or the gel pads, maybe?

Then you add the rough piece of velcro to the back side of the Sennheiser headband pad:

That plastic sheet on the back of the cushion, did it come with it? Is it solidly attached to the cushion? How stiff is it? I'm asking because if it's strong enough, I might be able to attach it only by the extremities... kinda like the the AKG headbands. I'll see if it's a good idea or not.
www.sennheiser.ca says there's a few dealers in my town. I'll go to them with the part # and ask if they can order it for me, and for how much.
Thanks for the great information =)
