I`ve had my HD600 since 2010. Still works like a charm, just replaced my earpads and cable for the first time now :)
😁
No need to press on the foam and make it all wonky, just stick your thumb inside the ear cup, under the padding and press. You can feel the plastic edge you're pressing into the groove. Pressing your index finger along the edge of the headphone body, opposite the the thumb lets you press it in without denting up your headphones too.
Thank you!
This is very sensible advice.
Thanks bud… I was struggling with this and your advice helped!
Commenting on this just to make sure it stays at the top of the comments and to say thanks!
The whole video can be replaced with this one comment.
Thanks for the video, I got a new pair of HD 600 and wasn't able to clip the earpads in place, to the point I thought them to be defective. You clarifying where the clips are helped a lot, and no other video mentioned it!
Ahh nice, happy to hear it helped 😁👍
bought on eBay a pair of HD650 and I had to change the earpads. Just followed this video and it worked like a treat without damaging the headphones. Thank you!
Nice! You got yourself a classic set of cans there. Enjoy :)
Thank you! I have a set of Sennheiser HD545 reference & your instructions were very detailed & easy to follow!
Oh wow, those are some oldie but goody cans. Glad the video helped you out :). Subscribe as I have more videos released often. Cheers
@@accessoryhouse Do you know if the Senn HD555 from around 2010 have the same earpad size as these?
@ No, they are not the same. I just designed new set for them though. Waiting for stock. The pads you want are common among Sennheiser headphones (Used by about 20 different models). HD598 is most well known model probably. If you find that model those pads will fit.
Thanks for the installation video. I've just fitted a set of AHG Pleather ear pads to my HD580 (from Amazon UK) and they fit perfectly but I have to get used to the very slightly different sound the new pads (or any new pads) give the headphones but so far so good.
Fitting was easy but mine were still the original velour and as you pulled inwards as instructed the velour started to come away from it's mounting plate as the adhesive failed. If this happens stop and move to a different location on the pad and try again until the velour pad and mounting plate come away together as one. I can't see this happening with many Sennheiser HDs as I don't think anyone will leave their originals on as long as I have!
Andy Knowles thanks for the information andy. You definitely must have had those ear pads a long time for the velour to pull away so easily. Glad the protein leather pads are working out well so far.
Just seen your video today and have ordered a set of the protein leather pads for my HD650 off Amazon UK!
Nice, you are buying my new model only released a month ago :)
Nice, you are buying my new model only released a month ago :)
I'm not sure. These are listed on Amazon UK for £15.95 Are they the newer version
@@commanderstraker6732 yes, the old version is out of stock, only the new version is available now. So you are getting the new ones :)
Hello, My ear pads arrived on Saturday, and after using your video tutorial, I managed to install them ok. They're great! Thank you
So, are the velour ones are also made with memory foam? The amazon listing does not say. I already ordered a pair.
Thank you!
You are welcome :)
Thank you! I'm confused about replacing my HD 660S2's dust cover. It has a little cut along the side, will the cut influence the sound?
thanks for the tips
:)
I will get a pair for 58X (compatible with HD600 series)
Yes, 58x pads and hd 600 attach the same way
Good video thank you.
😁👍
I have a set of HD500's. Do you stock these earpads, or are they the same as you've listed above. Your video was very informative and helpful. Thank you.
Hey John, I do not have ear pads for sennheiser 500's but I found some pads here - goo.gl/images/U7ZQHc
They are a different shape but looks like the installation is exactly the same. Cheers
What do these do to the sound qualities of the HD650? I've tried many ear pads for different headphones and the non manufacturer ones always change the sound.
Martyn James hard to say as each person hears their music different. I own hd600, 650, 660s and feel the sound is similar, our reviews for the velour and Pu versions are very good. Our listings warn that any change of ear pads could cause a change in sound (even replacing old originals with new originals). Many people have had their original ear pads for 3+ years and over time have become accustom to the sound changing as the ear pads degrade but that is often not taken into account when a new set of ear pads is put on and they feel the sound has changed a lot. In reality, it often has returned the sound back to original. We offer a guarantee, so if you are not happy with the ear pads you can get a full refund upon return. Thanks
hey, I have a question about those things you put to cover drivers , do they cause issues to sound after certain period of time ?
because I have PC37x and when I have them on they cause some weird rattle with bass tracks specifically but when I remove them all that rattle go away
I have not come across this. They are made from a soft foam, so for them to cause a rattle seems odd.
I have done the same dent mistake in the past.
Roughly how long do these pads last (specifically the velour ones) before needing to be replaced. I was interested in buying dekoni earpads but they seem to just break down after a year on top of changing the sound drastically, im hoping these can last a bit longer
I offer a 1 year warrantee. How log they last would depend on how much you use them. So far, I have not had any complaints about them not lasting. I have been selling them for over two years.
I cant seem to find the Velour for US on amazon
I am currently out of stock in USA but am shipping some by the weekend. This is the Amazon USA link:
www.amazon.com/dp/B079ZJSMQS?ref=myi_title_dp
Thanks
Are they memory foam? Do you have one which fits the new HD 560S? Seems the new HD 560S pads are pretty hard. Looking for softer and more comfortable ones for HD 560S.
I would need to see the earphone frame of your HD560S to know if I have ear pads that fit. The HD650 style ear pad will not fit but the HD598 pad might, I have to see them to have an idea though. The pads I sell use high density foam, it is not memory foam as that can ruin the sound. It is softer than the original foam though
HD560 is under HD599 and PC38X
is there a way to remove/clean or replace the pad on the head portion of the headset?

Are these available in the US? I'm only seeing links for outside the US and the Amazon equivalent with the same product code isn't available and hasn't been for some time.
Do you want the velour or Pu leather version?
Probably the pleather one.
@@AbbreviatedReviews there is a shipment expected for amazon.com in about a week. Just want to make sure you are aware that the pleasure can cause changes to the sound. If you want the same sound you may want our velour version.
Another great explanation, thanks. I see your memory foam pads are out of stock on your site - when you get them back in I'll order some so I've got some for when my current ones wear out. Do you have any idea when that might be?
Hey Graham,
I just designed a new set. I have them in velour, PU leather and Hybrid velour/Pu Leather. I am currently getting them stocked in to various countries. Which model did you want? Where are you located?
@@accessoryhouse The hybrid sounds interesting - are they on the web site? I've got velour now, would be interested in PU leather's longevity. I'm also wondering how they affect the sound? I've got the 580's, which I believe have slightly less bass than others in this series. And I'm in the UK.
@@GrahamAtDesk At the moment I have the PU leather version available in UK. I have not added the listing yet as my website developer is doing things to the site and has asked me to not update anything until next week. I have them at Amazon though. My velour and hybrid are still waiting to be shipped. PU Leather will create more seal and will usually increase the bass a bit. Depends on how much of an audiophile you are though. Sometimes any change is too much :). Hybrid model would add more seal but give you the velour comfort if PU is not preferred. I have tested all 3 models and there is not a huge change. These pads are also bigger than the originals, thicker and wider foam but I still did not notice anything drastic changing in sound.
@@accessoryhouse Thanks. I can hang on a week or two, no problem. I'll have another look on your site mid Feb.
Do you offer the 650 headband cushion as well? I cant find much online except for Sennheisers. I read that the 580 head cushion can fit on the 650. Any truth in that? I'll for sure order some earpads from you. Thanks.
bomb447 I do not sell the headband for hd650 and not sure the 580 will fit 650 but often sennheiser does re-use parts on their models of headphones, so it could be true. 580 is an old model I do not see much of, so not positive of what it's headband looks like.
bomb447 yes the 580/600/650 parts are all interchangeable including the headband pad.
Can you give me a link to purchase? HD 6XX Protein Leather version.
Currently designing a new model, so out of stock. Sorry about that.
Thank you nice video. Where can i buy the memory foam pads. for the HD 600 or 650?
Which country are you?
I am from The Netherlands.Since shortly i have them both,the 600 and 650.Iam looking already now for spare parts,because in the future these are maybe not available anymore.It are such a wonderful sounding headphones.
But the original pads and bands are much more expensive I have the memory foam earpads on my Bose QC 35and they are good.I wonder if these earpads have effect on the sound from the Sennheiser,s

YAXI, omg what a change on my 6XX
Nice, glad to hear :)
Hi, do you mean the Yaxi pads, right? How do you feel about them?
Hi, I'm interested in buying a set for my HD650... from where do they ship? Would prefer to source them from within the U.S. but I noticed the website price defaults to be displayed in Euros.
I have stock in USA. You want the velour pads or protein leather model?
@@accessoryhouse Got the email, thanks!
Hi, I enjoy the velour pads so far. Are they machine washable?
I have not tried. I'm not sure how they might react as the sides are heat welded and water might release it
@@accessoryhouse ok thank you. An other question, what do recommend to clean the dust and hair stuck to them
@@MuzdokOfficial personally, I just use a damp cloth and wipe it. It will bunch up all the hair etc and you can pull it off with your fingers
@@accessoryhouse ok i wasn't sure in case its fragile
5:20 I did the exactly same mistake...and no where to find a replacement.
You can buy the grills dirt from Sennheiser as far as I am aware. You might have to call them.
Is the same process for the 6 xx and where I can find the protein leather cups
Yes, 600, 650, 660s is same ear pad and process. Tell me the country you are in and I can tell you best place to buy. Cheers

Completely wrong. You can easily wash any velour pads. Just get a bucket of warm water, clothes detergent, and gently rub them together in the bucket. Agitate the earpads, ring them out, repeat. It works great. Done it multiple times.
First of All Original pads are Hybrid Pleather + Velour ( There are different quality Velours and the one used on originals are high quality) Secondly Velour is high breathable material thats why is used... Again the Foam Inside the Pads is HIGH AIR PENETRATED FOAM for a reason ...if u Use Memmory foam it doesnt breath like that and doesnt react fast on movement like foam does, Other than that Memmory foam is good for NC and for long lasting time . So its all about what Headphone u wil use them and on HD 6 series Gray Foam from originals is the best ...
Thats why NONE of aftermarket pads sound good like Originals... If u find that type of Gray high penetrated air foam and use leather inside and good quality Velvet-Velour its the same outside then Yeah it will sound good... But its hard to find these materials on low cost.
The original ear pads are made with cotton based velour and you can rub it off with your finger. That is not a 'high quality' trait. The foam they use is cheap low grade foam, but it serves the purpose of giving the sound signature they want. Just because they use that foam does not make it high quality. Yes, memory foam is denser than the foam they use and it will change the sound a bit. Some people want the sound to change though. The PU leather lining will increase the seal and the bass, the velour model I offer is very similar to originals and buyers say that. I have the original pads here, I do not see any 'hybrid pleather and velour' material. Where did you hear the term 'high air penetrated foam'? They use the same foam on HD820 ear pads but I have never heard it called that. Is that what Sennheiser calls it?
@@accessoryhouse Brainwavz and Dekoni also Use Velur and Its not the same Velour Quality ... I am saying that because My HD58X 650 600 6XX 660S Romanian or Ireland doesnt rub off with finger i dont know why u say that ? I have Brainwavz and Dekoni Velours and if u want photo of them u gone see its different quality velour. Other than that we both agree that Inside foam or Memmory foam depends on the use and U understand that Foam that breaths more is better on that type open back headphones. The foam used inside this gray color that u see when u open them up if u try to find it and buy it is expenisive , the white or yellow is more cheap . Last If u have your Original Pads and Cant See that they are HYbrids with Pleather under it and Velur outside then U DONT have the original ones for sure ... Let me give u a link to see that Originals are Pleather inside close to the driver and Velour outside ....www.thomann.de/gr/sennheiser_hd_545565580_ohrpolster.htm
U can see clearly on this original Pads the inside is Pleather and outside is Velur Also these pads doesnt hove stitching in contat with the Ears like Dekoni for example are ....
About HD 820 sorry but i dont know what they use never had them . My HD700 and HD 5 series ( except 58X) surely use different foam . But i dont know about 820 and 800 never had them.
@@accessoryhouse Oh and Original pads Velour i have being washing them for years with green natural shop and a little bit warm water and they are ok ... But Foam Yeah u are correct it goes off after 1-2 years of use it gets soft and lose the form . U are correct on that.
