Sennheiser HD598 Disassembly and Headband Replacement

I decided to replace the headband on my trusty old Sennheiser HD598s because I found the original replacement part online.
This includes disassembly, ear pad replacement, and some sweet sweet soldering to repair my Sennheiser HD598 essentially back to new.
This will also work for the HD599 or most of the rest of the HD5xx series, as they're all very similar in how they are constructed and wired.

listening to the video with my hd 598s and im watching this just out of curiosity. been using them for atleast 7 years or so and they are still like new. best tech investment i ever made

Great video mate!

[@Appppy]

Please share the link from where you bought the spare

[@Lucktronics]

I bought them from Audio Sanctuary (it's a UK store but they shipped to the US). I don't see the part listed there anymore, but the part number is 542185.

Hey man, I think I have a problem in my aux socket(the thing I connect the cable to into the headphone, sorry if thats not the right term).
any suggestions on where can I get a replacement for the socket?

[@Michaud12]

where do we get the headbands?

[@Nexxus088]

Is it possible to remove the outer grill? I dented tf out of mine sadly....

[@gabrielmas9652]

I would like to know too. I’ve got the HD598CS and the outside of the cup is made of velour so it got worn out after 6 years of owning the pair

[@pooyanmanoochehry2629]

You lost me at "desoldering all the wiring".

[@GrumpyTy34er]

I just got a used pair and while I don't need a full new headband, I would love a replacement leather piece for the top (not the cushion). Is there an option for that anywhere?

[@Lucktronics]

I've never seen that available, sorry!

[@13ballom]

Do i have to go through all of this if I am just trying to replace headband cushion?.

[@Praxss]

Dose it take too much force to remove earpads?

[@TheChosenOne_310]

What is that white number inside the ear cup

[@MacReady69]

Hi great video what was the name of the company in the UK you bought the replacement headband? Do you have a link? Thanks

[@Lucktronics]

Audio Sanctuary

[@pjaro77]

Perhaps you could change the wire for the more thicker.

[@SuperAmazingAnt]

You can prob. just open those little screws and put the wire inside of new whatever. headband is so last season, i put them. on my summer hat.

[@thanasis-_-]

Is this headband also compatible with the HD 599?

[@Michaud12]

link to that website please

[@zthreetwo9874]

Fuck yeah

[@phaenius]

You have a lot of hardware. For us mortals impossible to do this.

[@Lucktronics]

You can do it with a cheap soldering iron as well.

@@Lucktronics I have one, doesn't heat up, it's crap.
