This was a great tutorial. I can see however WHY they were so beat up when you look at the callous way in which he is just tossing EVERYTHING around and dropping stuff throughout the video.
I found an old pair of HD 600 tossed out by the curb, with some snow on them. Curious and in the market for a good open-backed pair, I dusted the snow off and dried them out on the rad. The pads are a mess, but they still play just fine! So thanks to your clear guide here, I’m off to order new pads online and I’m rocking the second R of the three Rs of eco: reuse!
Brilliant! Mine didn't have any sound on the right side, so dismantled as you showed and realised the driver part had moved and wasn't making contact with the cable. So now working! Thank you! Just need to get rid of the wiffy sweaty smell! BAAARF!
When clicking in the foam, you mention pushing the sides. What people need to know is u try to push in the innercircle and not the Side. And when pushing in the innercircle. Watch out not to dent the mesh on the out Side. And if you dent it you can easily take of the mesh. Bij pushing from the inside with a little tooth Pick Like shape. Take off the ear padding and inside foam. Then you Will see holes. Poke threu the hole so you dont have to prie the sides.
I have a HD600. Each speaker can be rotated relative to the headband by several degrees. The headphones fell from my desk to the floor, the height was low, and the floor was not too hard and, at first glance, I did not find any damage. However, later I noticed that one speaker turned, as if too tight (sometimes even a little creaking), and the other, as if too loose (I want to tighten it). Questions: 1. Should the speakers turn slightly tight or loose? 2. Does anyone know how to disassemble and adjust the connection of the headband and the speaker mount frame (I don't know how else to call it)?
be careful with the third party ear pad replacements, i just needed to replace the foam which should cost about 30 cents but the third party foam that I read reviews about is not of the same thickness and they will muffle the sound. I know it's stupid spending 50$ to replace the pads but I'm happy I did, and after changing the pads I'll admit I'm happy I did because the other ones were dirty and discolored, they were functional but these look new and make the headphones look like what they're worth
I can't stick it. It does't clicking. I has original pads and chinese ones and both don't placed in position. It falling out all the time when I take headphones in hands. I push hand enough, but I scary to put more strength. Pads just don't stuck in place. Is it has some holding parts that can crashed out apart ? Weird.
Contact Sennheiser customer support, they still make the hd600, so I'm sure they do, although the current version has different plastic and an all black finish now.
@@Isurusofficial Thank you for the quick reply do you think they still have the same marble version or just the new one for the complete headband replacement?
No difference on sound signature?.. i want to buy new earpads for hd600 ... 3rd party far more cheaper.. but people say that it will change the sound signature severely.. sorry for my bad english..
+suko hassan No difference mate. Buy the cheap ones. In the audiophile/hifi world people spout all sorts of bullshit about things that make little or no difference. :)
@IsurusOfficial @Gra Ra5 Yeh, these graphics uploaded by an acoustic engineer from a pair of m50x with different pads are all equal, isnt? i.imgur.com/qKzcuhV.png
are these pads install really this easy just place in and click??? just tried replacing my dt770 headpads and fuck that company for making it so hard to change them. wound up breaking them lol.
@@Isurusofficial - I just replaced the earpads on mine too, but they aren't as nice as the originals. It's memory foam inside these, and they feel heavier and denser, and it does have an affect on the sound, in a negative way. Maybe I should have gone with the originals even though they would have been $50 more.

Wow! That is a lucky find!

You stole my comment. ☝️

Never had that happen, something to look out for! Glad the video helped you out mate!

I had an issue with a hair buzzing against the diaphragm too, couple of years ago. So good I tried cleaning them first before replacing.
Yeah, when I had that I really thought a driver had blown or been damaged. It sounded terrible! Amazing what a bit of a clean and some TLC will do! :)
Thanks for the guide. Quick and easy pad replacement!
really useful in 2021 too!
HD600 sound. classic. :3
Great! I still love my HD600's!
Thanks mate!
Thank you for making this video, it was very helpful. 🍻
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much, this is an excellent tutorial video, had no problems replacing the ear pads.
You're welcome mate. Enjoy your nice clean Sennheiser's!
I just received the OEM Sennheiser replacement pads as a gift. For $50 USD about all you get is the pads and some plastic sealed German air.
Yeah, a bit of a rip off really...!
Holy shit, it actually was a hair on the driver that made mine rattle like hell. Thank you so much!
You're welcome! It's crazy how much noise it creates, right?
@@Isurusofficial Insane..
Piece of cake.Thank you. Nice video
Thankyou! I'm happy this video seems to have helped so many people out. Enjoy your repaired headphones! :)
thank you, helped me a lot
Very helpful. Thank you very much bro!
You're welcome!

Dekoni pads are real good replacements.
thanks!
thanks brotha

@@Isurusofficial I don't think they sell the complete headband replacement anymore do you think I could get them somewhere else?
Contact Sennheiser customer support, they still make the hd600, so I'm sure they do, although the current version has different plastic and an all black finish now.
@@Isurusofficial Thank you for the quick reply do you think they still have the same marble version or just the new one for the complete headband replacement?
No problem. I honestly don't know, you would have to ask them I think.
Thnc man you also helped me a lot!
the headpiece snapping is a manufacturing fault. had that too only 2-3 years after gentle usage. Sennheiser replaced it for free.
In our case it was a 'vocalist fault'... 😂
I just got myself some hd600, I love them, I want to know, how old is your pair
Hmm.. guessing here... 10 years or so I think.
Quite possibly a bit more actually.. I'd say 10-12 years. And they have had a hard life! :)
Holy crap, that's a life xD thank you for replying man
You sir, are a good bloke
Thank you sir!
perfect
+Seokho Kang Glad it helped! Enjoy your headphones!
What was the price for the new band ?
I think it was something like £35 - £40
One thing that should be added is to be careful not to touch the grills when pushing in the ear pads. You can easily dent them.
Good call! Push on the very edge.
Excellent! ALMOST threw mine in the bin since they were disgusting after oh... 20 years or so :-)
+Sven Croon ha ha! Fix 'em up!!! :)
Where did you get the cheap ones from?
From Ebay!
As good as new! (っ◔◡◔)っ ❤ beautiful!
Where did you buy the knock-off ear pads?
I got them on eBay
I bought 3rd party 'HD 600' earpads on eBay and they didn't fit! Which seller did you buy yours from?
No difference on sound signature?.. i want to buy new earpads for hd600 ... 3rd party far more cheaper.. but people say that it will change the sound signature severely.. sorry for my bad english..
+suko hassan No difference mate. Buy the cheap ones. In the audiophile/hifi world people spout all sorts of bullshit about things that make little or no difference. :)
Thank you for your replied ... ill buy 3rd party earpads i guess..
Gra Ra5 i have bought 3rd party earpad.. true.. no different in sound signature but slight different on comfort .. sorry if my english are terrible
Agree... ha ha!

omg those headphones - someone contact the hague, lol
+Jacksirrom ha ha! They saw some serious use to get to that state.. been given some love now though! :)
are these pads install really this easy just place in and click??? just tried replacing my dt770 headpads and fuck that company for making it so hard to change them. wound up breaking them lol.
the ear pads can be washed tho. No need to spend money on new ones unless they are actually damaged.
Yeah, the foam in mine was permanently deformed..
fair enough
@@Isurusofficial - I just replaced the earpads on mine too, but they aren't as nice as the originals.

Hmm.. must be different to the ones I got, the foam in mine is fairly light and not stiff foam.
