My beloved MDR 1ADAC's band and earcup pads are starting to disintegrate. Pics:

I first noticed on Monday at work I was getting black flakes in my hair, and I am worried about these flakes getting into the driver. I went to the Sony site to see if I could get Sony parts but could not find any for the 1ADAC.

I've treated these phones well, had them for about 6 years, they always go right back into the bag (which is also starting to flake on the pleather sides). So I'm a bit disappointed. These are my work phones and are perfect as I don't need to lug around a DAC and amp, and the comfort is just right (as well as the sound).

Can someone tell me where I can get original parts for replacement, or off some quality non Sony parts?

You should be able to find aftermarket pads pretty easily... I'd check eBay, AliExpress, Sweetwater, maybe even Walmart for these.

And 6 years... I think the pads have done their job.
