Hello,
 
 With how much I have been using the HE-400 headphones, I wanted to mod the headband due to having such a thin layer of soft material in the band. I bought the senn. 600 headband, some Velcro, and that was it. Thought I would post the pictures. 
 
I will say that with my head size I have to basically have the headphones at max size.
 
All and all I love these headphones even more now. I can listen to them for hours at a time now. 
 
cheers
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Edit: when adding the Velcro  make sure you stick it to the metal band inside the headband for a nice solid connection.

Looks way easier and better than the Beyer headband mod.  Good find.

Thanks! That's what I was looking for, a easy, fast, but good mod for them. Total probably came up to around 30 bucks

nice. It makes a world of a difference. Granted I'm sure this would not be good for a mobile set of headphones, but the mod is great for in house use. Hope it makes those he-300s even better. ^_^
 
cheers

hmm i have the opposite problem as you smacker. my head is kind of small. at first it felt like the earcups sat a little low in relation to my ears, even in the highest/smallest position. ive gotten used to it, but i might have to consider this as a nice solution.

Nice post.  I think this is also useful on the HE-500 as it rests too low on my ears.

Yea I have always had a rather large head. Not huge but compared to must I guess. For you two it may be helpful for sure. Never thought about a headband mod helping with people who have smaller heads. That's an awesome bonus!^_~

I would try to fasten it to test it with rubber bands or string or some light tape before anything more permanent like velcro.

http://www.sennheiserusa.com/serviceandsupport_part-finder Just search for hd600 parts and the headband is like 9 bucks + shipping. Velcro was just from a local Hobby Lobby. You could get it off of amazon though : http://www.amazon.com/Velcro-Sticky-8-Inches-32-Sets-90348/dp/B0057564PS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1352695575&sr=8-1&keywords=velcro 
 
 
You could try rubber bands or string like someone else suggested first, but the velcro worked just fine. It is a bit more permanent though. Velcro could be removed though.

Very nice mod! I think this can be extended beyond the HifiMans to any headphone.....Cheap and easy.

agreed, any headband wide enough and long enough could use this mod. Not sure what other headphones would need a comfort fix. This was my first pair. It could easily be used for people with headphones that are to small. ^_^
 
cheers
