Hi
 
The original headband leather cover of my HP2 is torn.
 
Can anyone help me?
 
Thanks

I am looking into a J$ headband for my PS500's. I am worried about removing the headband will permanently damage the l/r block. Or is it just held in with a clip?

It won't damage it.  Just use a few drops of acetone or nail polish removed to get down in along the metal where it connects to the plastic.  It will soften the glue so you can pull out the metal piece.  After you've installed the new headband, wipe off the metal end and apply a small drop of general adhesive (not super glue) and put it back together.
 
Also, the word has been out for a few months that JMoney is no longer selling leather headbands.  Some great reviews on these headbands have been circulating around the forum:

"no my headband is not compatible"

Just caught this thread- I don't think any of John's or the other after market headbands would fit HP-2. I am not sure if Joe still sells them. It was $200 each.

Thats odd, I always thought that the HP-2 actually uses the same headband as the rest of the lineup? Can somebody confirm this?
 
Jin and I do our own separate things btw, we just share a homepage

 

[wesleysneijder]

Jin does not confirm and had suggested me to go to a leathersmith.

I can see differences in the HP2 leather headband compared to a standard Grado leather one...
