Question for those with Sennheiser HD series

I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 600's that I have had for about 14 years. The foam piece that covers the speaker inside the ear cup on the right ear has disintegrated. I called Sennheiser a while back to buy a replacement and they did not offer a replacement. Has anyone else had this happen? If so, does anyone know of a source for this material? Without the thin foam piece, I can hear a difference between the left and right channels. Thanks in advance for your help.

Actually one of the mods of the 580/600 is to remove that thin foam in the ear cup for more detail and clarity.

I've done it one mine and prefer it without the foam pads.

Sennheiser offers a flat rate refurbishment on their headphones. I had an old pair of HD 580s refurbished, and they came back like new. https://secure.sennheiserusa.net/

I had exactly the same thing with HD580's. I just got the replacement velour earpieces. These include the interior foam.

It's expensive for just the interior foam, but after 14 years, the earpads probably could use replacement as well.

  Appreciate the info. I recently purchased a replacement part from B&H Photo on another item that was 11 years old. I found them slow to ship. Thanks again. :)
That is very EASY to fix - jedrider 13:20:43 12/03/12 (0)
Just rip out the foam on the other side so they match!

I've done that. Don't ask me for the difference in sound quality: They still sound very fine to me!

Good question for head-fi.org.

maybe longer, and they seem to be holding up fine - so far. When
something goes wrong, I'll likely buy a new pair, or maybe spring for
the HD800s.
