SOULWIT Protein Leather Headband Cover for Audio Technica ATH M50, M50X, M50XWH, M50XBT, M50XBT2, M50S/LE Headphones, Replacement Headstrap Pad Repair Part (Black) | For Audio Technica M50, M50X, M50XWH, M50XBT, M50XBT2 and M50S/LE headphones

Great product

Having just replaced the ear cups on my AT MX 50's I felt like I should colour match the headband. Out of the box you get the replacement headband, a precision Phillips head screwdriver, a piece of two sided tape and an easy to read instruction sheet. On inspection, It's clear that the leatherette headband material is exactly what Soulwit uses on their replacement ear cups. And that makes sense to me where colour matching is concerned. As you can see, it's a perfect match! Comparing it to the factory original, it feels comparable where suppleness is concerned. Removal of the original cover does require you to unscrew the plastic covers and cut the stitching. But that's easily done with scissors or a stitch ripper if you have one. Don't be alarmed if the plastic covers stick a little as they have some two sided tape on them. Mine pulled off easily enough. Preparing the new cover is as simple as peeling the velcro closure open and unfolding the entire assembly. The replacement headband comes with two sided tape pre installed so you may not need the separate piece included in the box. Although you could use it to freshen up the ones under the plastic covers if you wanted to. Or, you inadvertently do what I did and install the headband "backwards". Which may not be an issue for you depending on your use case. If you don't mind having the seam from the velcro closure facing forward, do nothing. Yes, I could just wear my headphones backwards, but that isn't conducive to my podcast set up and would show on camera. So I removed the cover and repeated the entire assembly process a second time. Which is no fault of Soulwit in any way. Just be mindful of where you want the seam. The installation itself is really straight forward. Line up the headband, press it firmly in place. Fold the cover over the band. Close the velcro and replace the plastic covers. As I really wanted the headband to match the ear cups, I can say that this replacement headband accomplishes that perfectly. It feels more or less as comfortable as the factory original. Obviously you lose the Audio Technica branding with this one, but if thats important to you then you shouldn't be considering it in the first place. But for me this is 100% a solid replacement / upgrade, and I totally recommend it.

オーテクのATH-M50xのヘッドバンドが加水分解でボロボロになってしまったので購入。 かなり簡単に交換できて感動しました。 ドライバーと詳しい説明書も付属するので、これだけ買えば誰も簡単に交換できると思います。 仕上がりのキレイさも申し分ありません。 またボロボロになったらリピートします。

Bought this for my Audio technica ATH-M50x and I am really amazed how it changed the look of my headphones. It is comfortable to wear. Longevity is something that only time can tell. Installation process was easy and they had provided a manual with appropriate photos which helped with the process. I highly recommend this product for someone looking to revive the looks of their old Audio technica ATH-M50x headphones.

Meine Kopfhörer funktionierten technisch noch perfekt, sahen am Kopfband aber schon deutlich benutzt aus. Diese SOULWIT Hülle hat das Problem praktisch komplett gelöst. Sitzt gut, fühlt sich angenehm an und lässt die Kopfhörer direkt gepflegter und hochwertiger wirken. Zusammen mit Dekoni Ohrpolstern ergibt das fast ein komplettes Refresh der Kopfhörer. Preis-Leistung wirklich stark.

Zeer goed! Ga er even rustig voor zitten en neem de tijd, lees de instructies goed en kijk goed naar de (soms iets onduidelijke) plaatjes, dan komt het helemaal goed. Zit met heel dun/fijn klittenband aan elkaar die heel erg vast zit, je krijgt het de eerste keer bijna niet van elkaar af, heel goed! Heb wel een keukenrol gebruikt om de cups uit elkaar te houden, dat maakt het plaatsen makkelijker. Eindresultaat is erg netjes en strak, meer voering dan het orgineel dus zit iets lekkerder.
