Question 1

Will this padding set for the new (redesigned) hd280pro  fit my old, classic hd280pro headphones?

Accepted Answer

Yes!

Question 2

The headband looks like the new model hd280pro, will it fit the original model?  and why are these pads half the price of whole new headphones?

Accepted Answer

I have the original HD280 and it is difficult to install the headband. The zip locking seams do not meet in the middle, in fact there is about a 1/4" gap where they should join. To get the headband to fit, I warmed it in a toaster oven (not too hot, just very warm). Once it was softened I stretched it to widen the band. Then it fit on the headphones but I still needed to pull the seams together with force. The zip locking seam did snap shut and it is holding so far.

Question 3

Wtf, sennseiser? i spent $38 on genuine replacement. pads were tough to install. headband is impossible! did you test with human beings?

Accepted Answer

It is hard but quite possible with a little work and patience. The headband is easier if you soften it a bit first by either putting it in the sun for 15 minutes or very carefully using a hair dryer from a few feet away for 20 - 30 seconds,then stretch it with your hands carefully around the headband and get the zipper started on one end then gradually work your way towards the other end while pulling the two halves together.  Make sure you have it centered both along the top and left to right first as when fastened it will not be movable. This is not an easy task and perhaps some people will not be able to do it, this should be made more clear by the seller.

Question 4

Will this work on the sennheiser hmd 280 pro headseat?

Accepted Answer

I only used the replacement headband from this kit on my HD 280 pro headphones. It took some effort and I had to stretch the new headband in order to get the seams to meet.
