Hello!

I just ordered some Sennheiser HD25-1 II and think about to paint them with a white waterproof pen. So I don't want to cover them completely with paint, just decorate them with some small symbols or "pictures".
Has anybody done this to his headphones and do you know what Sennheiser or the dealer would say in case I would have to make use of the warranty?
Thank you!

Regards,
Jonas

i would think any modification either cosmetically or internal would void your warranty.

could be wrong tho

I would say doing that would 100% void your warranty, because they wouldn't know what else you modified, or modified, and then reversed. In short, they would be suspicious of you from the get-go.

i painted the grills of my ksc75 olive green
then i snagged the cable on the table

koss honored the lifetime warranty, though

....i wouldn't push it though

I wanna paint one of my K1000s black

Some companies will find any way they can to deny you, and painting your headphones is giving them an easy one.

I'm not sure but I would say it would void your warranty although I don't think that's too big of a concern, take a look at this thread:

Any alteration to the headphone be it cosmetic or internal will void most warranties sorry but look at it like this the paint wont break your headphones at least

Awww :\
So altering cosmetics (even just the shell) can void warranty, depending on manufacturer?

Hi!

Thanks for your replies. Hm that doesn't sound to nice until now. Well, I will ask Sennheiser and the dealer. Maybe I should just wait until the warranty (3 years from the dealer!) is passed over.

Jonas, really curious about the HD25's sound...

For the other pair I'm buying, they have the things I need in stock for me to completely refurbish them.
