- I appologize a head of time for not showing the whole process. I decided to do it at the very end and figured a verbal description would have helped me so I hope this helps you.

Thank you for this video - 6 years later still helping out. Made this replacement easy!
Thank you for making this video! I got a replacement set and was baffled on how to do the headband piece. Despite how much you say this isn't a great video, it sure helped me understand how to do this.
saved me a lot of headache and probably breaking parts, trying to figure it out myself... thanks for this tutorial! :) the old HD 380s look like new now!
Thank you very much, after your video, I accidentally found this clip in the house and put it in place. Now the headband is adjustable as it should)
This is the only acceptable video tutorial on the internet for replacing the headband padding (lots of videos on replacing the ear cup padding), thank you for making & sharing this video. Replacing the headband padding is considerably finickier than the ear cup padding.
Really helpful, thank you. I just took out the retainer clip on one side and slid out the old an in the new. Appreciate the warning about the wire. Cheers from Australia 😉
Thank you!! This video was a lifesaver. The metal piece fell out immediately but I didn't panic cause i watched this video beforehand. God knows I would've been lost without the video
Thank you! This video was a great help for the head pillow part.
I know this is a years old video, but thank you so much - this showed me what I was missing when trying to do this to mine.
It would be useful to mention that there are two rails on each side of the headband; one for the headphones' metal bracket and another for the headband's foam insert.
If you accidentially insert the foam insert into the headphones' rail, you'll find it impossible to slide the foam insert all the way in and over the headphone's metal brackets. In this case, remove the foam insert completely and re-insert it carefully, making sure that it uses the outer rail (further away from the headband's back).
Absolute life saver thank you
phew - i was about to give up as I couldn't seem to get the foam on - then I read this about the two rails and it was easy, thank you!
This worked wonder! I thank you so much!
struggled with that heaps until I read your note - thank you!
Thank you , I used a linoleum knife to pry out one stop and then slid the old pad out without touching the other stop or the metal piece.
I then slid the new pad in and snapped one new stop in. Done! Could not have been so easy without your help.
Thanks so much for explaining the headband! Helped me heaps when trying to figure it out. Stoked with my fresh pads :D
Great video, thank you this helped me immensely.
Thanks man. I wasn't sure about the stops as my replacement parts didn't come with replacement stops. This video showed me I could just pop them out.
Worked great, video helped me prepare. FYI, a video on replacing headband for HD600 also helped as the head band for the HD 380 Pro came off and on similar to HD600. Funny note: when I finished I had a small metal piece left over on my work area. However, you noted it worked without, mine did too, so I left it alone. Thanks again
1. You can still get them from Sennheiser Prod. Code 531464
2. There is only 1 ratchet (metal clip) on each L&R side of the headband.
3. You only need to remove one retaining clip from one side... the ratchet shouldn't come out.
4. Slide the old padding out through the gap between the earpiece and bracket.
5. When sliding the new padding in the same way just make sure it doesn't catch on the bracket at the other end. Check the ratchet still works.
6. Have no fear... it's an easy job!
This video made replacement of my HD 380 Pro padding a breeze! Thank you!
Thanks alot! Used this to replace my headband on my 380 Pro's. I didn't actually need a screwdriver to pry up the stoppers (too lazy to walk down to the lab and get one)
Now I feel like I've got a new set of headphones
Just fixed my headphones. Thanks!
You saved me!
Thx! You save my live :D
Thank you so much! This made it really easy, especially the tip about the metal piece!
THANK YOU !
thanks for this man, big help :)
Thank you - incredibly helpful! Worth mentioning @Nikolaos Tsarmpopoulos comment about tho two rails - that was the final piece on the puzzle for me.
Thank you so much for this!
Great video! Swapped my padding no issue.
With your guide, I managed to take apart my Sennheiser GAME ZERO headset. But, now I can't get the metal piece to go back in, and it's not quite the same shape as yours. ^^;
Edit: I was able to get it back together properly! I actually didn't end up replacing the headband for now, as it's just starting to tear a bit and is much higher quality still than the replacement one I got off eBay. I hope this thing lasts forever, but I'm also looking forward to the day I can replace it with something easier to repair...
Have the same headset
How did you get that metal piece back in ?
Sorry, a few questions since I'm not so good at understanding spoken English: should I remove both stoppers? Should I use a flat screwdriver to pry the stoppers? Where should I insert the screwdriver tip to avoid damages? Thanks
One side doesn’t have the metal ratchety thing, and I just replaced mine through that side, on mine it was the left side. Is it just me?
Not just you. Unsure if they all miss it on the left side or if I lost them.
thank you
Got a replacement headband that was so garbage that it flatout refused to slot in properly. Sadly my old headband was so fucked that I couldn't get it back in either, so now I am sitting here, fuming, with shitty wide headphones that do not fit at all.
Fuck this, getting a new pair of headphones. Sennheiser fucked up the longevity of their products by not providing proper support.
Hey man. Ive been looking where to get the headband cushion and I haven't been able to find it. Do you got a link to the one you got?
Blake Jackson unfortunately Sennheiser discontinued this part and used to be able available straight from their website. They have every other part for the headphones to replace but decided to discontinue this for some stupid reason. You might get lucky on eBay but other than that the next best thing is buying the shell for the headband from the sennheiser website for around 42 euros or $48 US. Good luck
Damn that's annoying. I just got new earpads for it but thatll have to do for now
Bullshit. I just ordered the headband and the ear cups direct from US Sennheiser today.
Kevin Fetner holy shit! Can you send me a link?
Kevin Fetner Thats great news! Can you please post that link. I called awhile ago and asked and the person on the phone said they were discontinued but hopefully they didn’t know what they were talking about and were just out of stock. Hope your able to post the link thanks!
Anyone have any luck with the US part number (or a compatible part from a similar model). I hear the HD 280s are somewhat the same.
A lil late, maybe it will help the next guy. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072KLMG96/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is another video on replacing the ear cup padding. I suggest you watch both SoundSpares and GetYo FactsStr8 videos before attempting any replacement.
SUPER helpful! Thanks so much.
