Replacing Vinyl- Sony MDR-7506 Head Phones

[Loud Noize Ent.]

Hey Guys,

Can the protective vinyl which covers the foam be replaced? Anyone know of a link where I can purchase this?

Thanks in advance.

It's been a while since I got my Sony parts from Sony directly
so this may be a bit out of date.

if i were you, i would replace the entire foam with Beyer pads.

Hey blotted: I have a few pairs of AKG K240's with the same problem. Do you know if those things or some other aftermarket thing would fit those too?

Other than the surrounds falling apart the headphones are ready for 100000 more miles.

sorry max, don't think the Beyer pads will fit. if memory serves, K240 has round ear pads, no?

7506/Beyer are oval shaped..

good place to ask around is head-fi forums. that's where i learned about 7506 pads.

Hey,

Can someone tell me how to remove the old vinyl cushions, it seems to be in one part ! Do I have to pull hard or is there a screw somewhere ? thx

you might wanna check here:

my sony v900 foam is completely flattened and chipping. they are over 10 year old headphones and out of print, but replaced by some 900HD model. they sell replacement cups for those so i guess they might fit. it's only $20/pair, but i hope they come with instructions cos i too have no idea how to replace them.

I could buy a new one but we have to think about the planet. If it works, fix it ! But how ?

Oh what a relief.. For a minute there I thought we we're replacing this with this..

That could be a good idea to recycle the old, unusable scratched vinyls to manufacture the 7506 vinyl cushions....
By the way:

Then how do I replace these stuffs please ?
