epiphone 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2003 Anyone knows where the best place one can get replacement parts for Sennheiser headphones? Would like to replace the earpads and head band on my old HD490. Does Hung Bros in SLS sell such replacements for Sennheiser phones? How much are they expected to cost? Thanks in advance.

Blues 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2003 Hi epiphone, you can go to their regional office. The address: Sennheiser Electronic Asia Pte Ltd 438A Alexandra Technopark Singapore 119967 Tel: (+65) 6273 5202 Fax: (+65) 6273 5038 Maybe you can ring up first before going there. I am sure they have the parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
epiphone 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2003 Thanks... would you know if Hung bros carries these parts as well, SLS is more accessible for me. The HD490 seems to have parts that are pretty wear-prone, is there a Sennheiser that is more hardy, in the range of ~100-200 bucks? Genre is mainly rock and roll.

epiphone 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2003 Just got my replacement earpads for my old HD490. Costs $16 at Hung bros, not sure if I have been had though. Anyone has any experience with these earpads getting all loosened up and uncomfortable? Thing is that I haven't really been wearing them, should not be due to wear and tear. The Hung bros ppl suggests that it is due to moisture, any comments on how to maintain these sponge earpads? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evil-zen 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2003 put it in a dehumidifier for camera lens and never take it out again. the 490s ranks among the lowest end in terms of sound of all headphones that I tried. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
