100+ Head-Fier
Last night I dusted-off my old pair of HD650 to be sold to someone I know, but unfortunately, I found a small crack in the center of the headband, as you will see in the picture below.
At first, the paint chipped, and now it cracked.
My question is what's a good way to fix it?
Someone said the headbands of HD580, 600 and 650 are interchangeable, so I could order a cheap replacement headband for HD580 and it'll do the job.
I searched through Sennheiser's site but couldn't find the headband available for order, so I guess I may have to make a call to order the part, right? However, I don't live in the US, so even if I make a call, I don't think they would send me the part, so getting it from Sennheiser might not be possible for me. Is there any other source where I can get this piece?
And if I don't care about the look, what's the best cheap way to fix it?
I'm thinking about using 2 pieces of aluminum and screw them to the upper (Sennheiser logo) and lower (beneath the pad) of the headband to secure the crack. Yes, it will look like crap, but I don't mind if it works, as this one is my back-up phones anyway, but I don't know if this is the best way to fix it.
I also found from my search that QQQ broke his long time ago and managed to fix it very neatly. I may PM him asking about his method.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
