Headphones repair...

[KILOWATT]

Hi...thanks to read. Please take a look at this URL:

The model is rp-HT400 from Technics. Do you know if there's any kind of
refurbishing kit available for those kind of headphones? A search on Google
only revealed infos for vintage headphones repair like remagnetizing the
magnets, repairing connections...etc... It's not just a throwaway 19.99$
pair, the sound quality after 3 years is still amazing so i would like to
repair the headband. I would like to do a nice job...not just wrap
electrical tape over the headband as some silly people suggested! Any
suggestion welcomed. TIA

Call Matsuchita and ask for their parts rep. If the headphones are more
than about 5 years, it may be impossible to have the parts. If you want a
very good headphones, look at the AKG, or the Seinhausser. These are tops.

Thanks Jerry...i'll call them this week to see if they have some parts wich
i would found surprising.

look at the AKG, or the Seinhausser.

Did you meaned Sennheiser? At the time i've bought the headphones, i've
noticed that the brand Sennheiser was way over my budget so i've choosen the
Technics. I still think that i would not have found better for 120$. But at
the time i'm writing this, Sennheiser are now available in the "low" price
range of 100~150$.

MAYBE YOU CAN
JUST get yourself some nice black cloth ,
and cut it to twice the llength of the band , and just over twice the width
then stick or sew some velcrow to both edges , and wrap around the band
and press together the gripping edges
looks nice , u see no edges
and feels nice ... ?????????


hope the info helps
