I like these headphones, but the black foam covers are falling apart. In searching for a replacement, the closest I have found is from Sony (http://servicesales.sel.sony.com/web/viewItemDetail.do?operation=getItemDetail&itemID=533943&category=6&categoryName=Headphone), and I'm not even sure it's the right thing. Description says "ear pad - one only" and they want $14.95 each, so I would need 2! Seems totally outrageous for flimsy piece of foam that should really cost less than 50 cents. The phone/earpieces are about 2 3/4 " x 2 1/4 ", so the small covers commonly available don't fit. |

Sony uses a lot of specialized parts that are only available at a Sony Store. Supposedly, that is part of the reason that they are struggling right now. I don't think you can buy them from anyone other than Sony. |

I bought some headphone covers, but they were way too small. I think that a generic cover would work if it was around 2 1/2 inches across and round, because the foam is inherently stretchy. The main difficulty is finding covers that are large enough. |

I too have the same problem. I just ordered a set of new pads from eBay which were only 7.95 for the pair (they are GM replacement parts). I should have them in a few days and I will let you know how they fit. Regards. |
