Thanks...looks similar to this one with a removable pad.

Maybe the width is not the circumference but the diameter?
Just picked up my second pair of Elegia after letting my first pair go last fall....anyone find one of these zip on headband covers that fit?
I've seen a few but are too narrow.
Ideally 11cm (10.5 if covering logo.) x 23cm.
This is the exact same one I use (the Max size), and it fits like a glove, looks good, and doesn't move AT ALL. I liked it so much, I ordered a couple others for other headphones I have...

Most of the covers online suck.
BTW! Here is what that cover looks like that I referred to in my last post (in case you were curious as to that):
The loop is to hang them from, which works VERY well. I have the Elegia pictured with the headband cover mentioned, the Dekoni Stelia Custom Sheepskin pads, and Hartaudio Modular pure copper cable.

I think that if you never used them, the color choice is amazing looking... BUT... in the end you are right because who wants to have nice headphones just to look at? haha..and off line?
Really just looking for something to cover the light grey which will eventually soil and look it.
(bad color choice by Focal)

I really don't care how the Elegia was designed, as long as it sounds good.

You should care about the design of the headband, which is poor and prone to breakage if handled roughly, especially due to its mainly plastic construction.I really don't care how the Elegia was designed, as long as it sounds good.
FWIW my headband has held up well over 5ish years of almost every day use. I don’t bend the headband to adjust the curve or clamp, so that may be where some breakage issues come from. I have dropped them on concrete several times while traveling and they are ok after that.You should care about the design of the headband, which is poor and prone to breakage if handled roughly, especially due to its mainly plastic construction.
If you plan to sell some day you should probably get a headband cover. But if you use the stock ear pads you will get discoloration there as well. If you plan to use stock pads and not sell/trade/give away, why bother with cover?I think that if you never used them, the color choice is amazing looking...

The answer is that i don't really know if I will sell them or not way, way down the road. For right now I haven't even considered it. Honestly though, I got the pads for the different sound signature, and the headband cover just in case the headband decides to fall apart, and they are discontinued. I will not have to sweat trying to find a solution. I could totally live with them 100% stock (except that nasty cable ).FWIW my headband has held up well over 5ish years of almost every day use.
