How to clean the HD 555?

[targetmaster]

My 555s has a lot of lint and dust on the cloth ear pads. What can I do to get rid of them.

thanks

I too would be interested in this. Mine aren't insanely dirty but they are a little linty

air can?

Take the pads off and then you roll some tape around your hand and start taking off the lint.

Wouldn't want to use one of these near the drivers.

The pads come off, they don't feel like they will, but they will. You can clean them with some shampoo and water, making sure to rinse out the soap.
Then tie them to abit of string to dry outside.

Damn..those thread just drive me said. OP, have you ever washed some of your clothes?? Is this so difficult to try?

lint brush or the tape method ....i would be very very very careful blowing compressed air into your headphone. Just in case dont want to blow something lose inside the driver area...

If you remove the pad from the headphone, then blow away...

clothes are not that expensive and that easy to damage

Remove the ear pad and wash with water and some soap/shampoo, whatever you like. Rinse really well and air dry.
You could remove the inner grill using a knife or small flathead screw driver. Clean this out however you want. Use a rag/paper towel to clean the inside of the headphone.
Complete!

I have a pair of HD515's and I don't think the grill is coming off

EDIT: by grill I mean pads

I actually pulled the muffs off, but now I don't really see a way to reapply them.
Do you use glue to put the muffs back on after cleaning them?
 

 

[KrayzieFX]

you just push them back on the same way you pulled them off

 

[buurensound]

Is it possible that my model, which is a few years old, doesn't work like that?
To get the muff off, i really had to pull off plastic/glue outer lining. Now there is nothing that would make it stick when pushing it back on.

DON'T EVER USE AIR CAN, don't even blow hard... Diaphragms are very delicate things.
