My stretching O ring has failed

This is my temporary fix until the newly design headband arrived.

On their website they said you can now replace the O ring, any info on where to get it? and what is the size?

You can replace the o-ring by paying 200 dollars to get a headband which allows you to replace the o-ring

this the one you mentioned that shipped from SG?
Yep :wink:
They look like new!
Congrats man! I think u may want to check out the dedicated 1266 Rooms stand, so your headphones don't rest on the headband, and instead rest in the metal frame.
I know, only for photo i do that.
But when i listen them i put something betwen metal frame and headband becouse they drag my ears down.
Just like @ahossam

No, with their new headband design you can replace the O ring individually so you don't need to buy new headband every time the O ring break.

That's what he said. :) But I understand you already ordered one of the new headbands. Thinking of getting one too.

I wonder if I'd like the original over the new pads? One thing tthat bothers me is I have to sit still or the bass moves around because of seal issues.

Joe should recall the old headband and replace them with the new one.

100% agreed. Or at least a 50% discount if you send in the old one.

Hello, who bought the new headband could you kindly give me the exact measurements in centimeters? Length, width and thickness. I assume the length is identical to the old model but I don't know the other measures. The thickness seems to me doubled while the width I don't know. Can anyone who bought it help me please? Thank you.

Stopped visiting head fi for a while, put on the Abyss 1266 and damn, these headphones are just too amazing. Not many things make me crack a smirk or smile while entering the "flow state" state of mind.

When you don't use them for a few weeks and then put them back on, it's like that first date feeling all over again. Just pure pure bliss.
