very helpful technique in getting the original black rings into my replacement pads! as some others have noted, i took out the clear plastic rings that were in my replacement pads since the original black rings (that lock the pads into place) wouldn't fit otherwise. hope that helps someone!
Thank you, my sennheiser pc350-se ear pads have yet to be changed out after 17 years of service. The little bit of cushion that was left in them fell out today; I think it is time to replace the padding. :)
This is plain stupid. Scoured the net to find how to apply the stupid cushions (which I don't buy original, screw greedy SH bastards), only after reading a review in amazon some guy recommended this guide. Searched for it, found some guy who reuploaded, after an hour managed to do it. Thanked the hell out of him, then I hear that sound is a little bit off. Found out the guy effing reuploaded this video, found this original vid. Then I see your comment, removed the bloody plastic thingies, and now I guess all's well. Maybe there's some magic plastic switch none of us discovered. Really high tech stuff. Screw that. I feel like I'm in the 80's trying to find paper guides on how to compile something. Shit, half the guys who managed to put those, still have the plastic. And screw Sennheiser too. 200-400 bucks for headphones, then 20-30 bucks every year to get original "replacement cushions"?
I left the clear plastic rings in as they were in when I took the old pads out which were bought from new,so must be there for a reason ,probably to strengthen pads.
I got these today and they work fine for the PC350. If you've ever fixed your bike, they are easy to insert. 1) Take two small screwdrivers from somewhere, or nail things or dinner table knives. Anything metal with a flat head. 2) To insert them in your new cushions, bend the two short "egdes" of the elipse shape to get one half into your shape. 3) Use one screwdrives to fix the ring in place, and the other to flip the remaining egde of the ring into the shape. 4) Press cushion into headphones.
Thank you very much for the video! It turned out to replace the ear cushions in a few minutes! I was worried that I could not do it and I would have to buy new headphones. Now my headphones look like new. At the same time I learned how much dust accumulated inside.
Thank you! These are GREAT instructions. You have made it very easy :-D. It took me longer to watch this video (twice) than it did to actually complete the job.
I just finished replacing my PC350 pads. It seemed impossible at first, but you do have to force them a little. I like the leather on these much more than the crappy leatherette that came stock (made my ears sweat, not to mention the material disintegrating in many places). You should include a link to this video with the pads! :)
I literally just installed the replacement ear pads for the PC350 from HeadphoneMate. The good: price, shipping was quick, the covering seems to be same/similar material to the original replacement ear pads that Sennheiser sent to me The bad: stiffer ear pads than the original, video makes the insertion of the black ring look easy (it's not). I got pretty frustrated trying to make it fit but eventually I did do it. The verdict: Good ear pads for the price and I would probably buy them again.
I bought earpads with code 523310 for my "HD380 pro" (they are same as for PXC 450) and it comes with plastic rim already installed. So I just remove old and place new earpads! Btw I don't found plastic underwear for old earpads in my 380 pro. So I first think that it is some transport stuff. But than I saw your video and leave it.
@foxkiller86 I have PC 350s. I like the headphones. But, but stock earpad covering was disintegrating. Just received "UltraCushion Replacement earpads for Sennheiser PCX 450 Headphones" from Ebay. Installation for PC 350 is same as this video. Has the same plastic ring that should be removed from flimsy stock PC 350 earpads, and inserted into new "UltraCushion Replacements for Sennheiser PXC 450." Flat side of ring faces away from earpads, as shown in video. sry. I'm wordy.
just going to confirm that it works on pc350, it's challenging. when you initially put the ring in remember to hold it in place with one hand while working it in with the other, it'll just pop right out otherwise.
The plastic black rings will actually very easily break even if you only squeeze them a little. It's better to try to fit them in as best you can without squeezing them, and only squeeze as much as you have to to make it fit.
These are great instructions, but I got a bit confused, because my replacement pads from Sennheiser UK came with the plastic ring (ie I didn't have to remove it from the old ones). Not the fault of the maker of the video, but I thought I'd leave a note it saves someone else a few minutes of fiddling... check whether you need to transfer the ring as demonstrated in the video, or whether they are there already.
@coolykoko Well the stock ones are $70, mine is only $24.95 shipped, and the material lasts longer, not a single complain or return after 200 pairs shipped.
FYI, everyone, if you have PC350's, there's a small plastic/vinyl "lip" over this plastic ring you're looking for. Don't resort to googling for half an hour confused like I did. There is a plastic ring there. Just look harder, fool.
I just received my HeadphoneMate headphones, pulled my old ear cushions off and there's no lock ring inside of them....there's a circular black plastic piece that looks like it but it's glued to the original fabric. I don't know if I have to order this part separate or what I should do.
Bought a pair from you on ebay under the name 'eokboy'. I have a question, do you have the replacement pad for the headband? My cat scratched the outer coat of the pad, and the scratches got bigger as I use the headset (Sennheiser PC350). These replacement pads are great. I think the sound isolation is as good as the original ones (if not better) although they are not as comfortable (but the build quality is firm, and thus I believe they will last longer).
Oh, wait. There was a lock ring in the old ones that I had to keep? Awesome. Guess I shouldn't have thrown them straight away then. I don't suppose you sell new lock rings too?
***** I guess Jaxter bought Earpads directly from Sennheiser, right? You can buy them directly for your PC350 and SE Edition in Sennheisers Store. I have the same Headphones, PC350 is so comfortable and good for gaming, it's a amazing Headphone :D
I just bought direct replacement earpads for my 450's and wish to inform you that the plastic rings you removed are now ALREADY INSTALLED. Please inform your viewers that this step is no longer necessary. Thank you.
@foxkiller86 Sorry I don't have pc350s with me, but they are actually same. Maybe I'll shot one with PXC350, they use same (cheaper) stock material vs pc350 :)
I ran into the same situation. Noticed after I already removed the rings from the old pads. Got everything working all the same though. How long will it take to break in the new ear pads?
Do you still sell these if so where can I buy them? I just ordered another brand from amazon but I would like to order these ones are well for when I change them again.
I just took out the plastic and put them in with the ring that was already in there it was pretty easy and I don't think the plastic is meant to be in there just seems like packaging to me
Can you sell this on ebay So I can buy this from the US. I would pay alot of money for these so I can convert the shitty velour pc 360 to a BMW leather headset that doest swet

You have to remove the clear plastic rings too. They are just for transport stability and will affect sound if you leave them in.
Was wondering exactly that. Thanks ^^
Thank you for this comment! A vital piece of info left out of the tutorial which I struggled with until I read this.

Tobi no, those are included in the original factory fit out.

Came today, fitted in 5 minutes. PC350 headset is now rocking for another year or two. Had to force them to fit in but just go for it.
I just finished replacing my PC350 pads. It seemed impossible at first, but you do have to force them a little. I like the leather on these much more than the crappy leatherette that came stock (made my ears sweat, not to mention the material disintegrating in many places).

@HeadphoneMate cool. I shall put this into consideration.
Where can I get the plastic rings from? One of mine broke.
Very good instructions. Thank you for the demonstration. I doubt I could have done it without this video.
Thank god for this video. I was about to them back.
It's tough to do but worth the effort
Great video!! Never would have done this without watching this first.
I literally just installed the replacement ear pads for the PC350 from HeadphoneMate.

thanks a lot, but you made it look so easy! lol
it took me 15 frustrating minutes to insert the ring!
thank u ur a lifesafer. changed my earpads on my hd 380 pro thanks to this video:-)
@foxkiller86 I have PC 350s. I like the headphones. But, but stock earpad covering was disintegrating. Just received "UltraCushion Replacement earpads for Sennheiser PCX 450 Headphones" from Ebay.

Very nice description, thx for the good service!
You'll be making a presentation soon on the PXC 550s including cushions and battery?
You'd be the first.
just going to confirm that it works on pc350, it's challenging. when you initially put the ring in remember to hold it in place with one hand while working it in with the other, it'll just pop right out otherwise.
Awesome, my pxc 450 ear pads are completely worn out and i needed to replace them :D

This guy should include his ebay store here and alot of people would buy
Very thanks! You help me replace earpads on my Sennheiser 380 Pro. Sorry for my english)
That's great. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks man. 2 minute install thanks to you.
Great product, good clear video - many thanks
Is there anyway to replace the head band pad too? Mine has disintegrated.
Super useful, thanks for posting it.
Just got mine. You should use softer filling for the earpads they feel very uncomfortable compared to the original ones. :(
Thankyou! just replaced my old pc350 earpads :)
@coolykoko Well the stock ones are $70, mine is only $24.95 shipped, and the material lasts longer, not a single complain or return after 200 pairs shipped.
Hi, yep they kinda softened up but it's nothing compared to the joy I had when using my headphones with the original ones.
FYI, everyone, if you have PC350's, there's a small plastic/vinyl "lip" over this plastic ring you're looking for.
Don't resort to googling for half an hour confused like I did. There is a plastic ring there. Just look harder, fool.

@scotchabr Thanks. Just thought maybe boring without music...
Will try to improve it.
I can confirm that the earpads fit the pc 350 headset, the plastic rings were a pain in the ass to put in but eventually I forced them in.
Tried putting this on today for the PC 350s. Same as other poster, not going in.
Bought a pair from you on ebay under the name 'eokboy'. I have a question, do you have the replacement pad for the headband? My cat scratched the outer coat of the pad, and the scratches got bigger as I use the headset (Sennheiser PC350).
These replacement pads are great. I think the sound isolation is as good as the original ones (if not better) although they are not as comfortable (but the build quality is firm, and thus I believe they will last longer).
Can someone provide a link that shows where to buy the actual replacement earpads (UltraCushion)?
Oh, wait. There was a lock ring in the old ones that I had to keep? Awesome. Guess I shouldn't have thrown them straight away then. I don't suppose you sell new lock rings too?
Managed to do this for my PC350 took me a few minutes but it worked although the sound feels a bit weird now for some reason O.o.
***** I guess Jaxter bought Earpads directly from Sennheiser, right? You can buy them directly for your PC350 and SE Edition in Sennheisers Store.
I have the same Headphones, PC350 is so comfortable and good for gaming, it's a amazing Headphone :D
webshego No I bought the UltraCusion ones, else I would not have replied here ;). But its getting used to but they feel fine now.
I just bought direct replacement earpads for my 450's and wish to inform you that the plastic rings you removed are now ALREADY INSTALLED. Please inform your viewers that this step is no longer necessary. Thank you.
Nope, they don't fit PC 350... just got one today and I have difficulties in placing the black ring inside the ear pads... :(
@foxkiller86 Sorry I don't have pc350s with me, but they are actually same. Maybe I'll shot one with PXC350, they use same (cheaper) stock material vs pc350 :)
what is the difference between these pads versus the stock original pads?
2 hours in! Just got lucky and had to force that sucker in. Pain in the major ass
Just bought my replacements (6/4/18) and they came WITH the lock rings... so check carefully before you try to install a ring when it already has one.
I ran into the same situation. Noticed after I already removed the rings from the old pads. Got everything working all the same though. How long will it take to break in the new ear pads?
mine did - they are abit hard at first, but after 1week or so they easily as good as original...
Do you still sell these if so where can I buy them? I just ordered another brand from amazon but I would like to order these ones are well for when I change them again.
merci votre vidéo m'a aidé
Hello,
I just made a purchase on your ebay store for the sennheiser pc 350 earpads, those are going to install the same as these, right?
I just took out the plastic and put them in with the ring that was already in there it was pretty easy and I don't think the plastic is meant to be in there just seems like packaging to me
Hi, can you tell us the material used for these ear pads? I searched on the internet but i still unanswered...
thanks a lot mate. are they good for game one too? Seems the same size
thx a lot, i changed them ^^
How does the quality of these compare to orig. PXC 450 pads?
where can I buy just the locking ring?
just bought on ebay store one of this... you could make an ''how to'' for pc350 :)
Have yours softened up since you bought installed them?
Hum, for people who don't have old earpads anymore ? What can they do ? :D
Ты спас меня
Where did you buy your earpads?
Where can I order the cushion?
add 350 SE and 360 ?
Helpful tutorial, but cut your fingernails! :)
Lool true
Hello, where i can buy it? i want put in my PC 350 :)
Thanks
Muito grato..
Thanks :-)
doing that broke my replacement set :(
Also happens to me the first time I tried it. Second time works like a charm.
Girl nails? Is that a thing in your country?
Excuse me, is it common for men in Singapore to have long manicured fingernails? That just looks very odd for an European eye...
@Thrall123RealID Thanks mate :)
Son of a b* ! On my PC350 this is such a pain in the ass !!
Next weeks video, how to trim your nails.
Can you sell this on ebay So I can buy this from the US. I would pay alot of money for these so I can convert the shitty velour pc 360 to a BMW leather headset that doest swet
Слов нет, волосатая рука с когтями
Гитарные ногти, вроде как то так)
Да, само собой разумеется
