Headband for Audio Technica ATH M50, M50X, M50XWH, M50XBT, M50XBT2, M50S/LE Headphones, Replacement Headstrap Pad Repair Part (Black)

I looked forever to find this product, black, but for the ATH M40. It just didn't exist in any color other than brown (ew). So I bought this one, which is for the ATH M50, and it fits just fine. Anyone who doesn't want a brown replacement cover for their black ATH M40s, should consider just buying this one instead. The one main negative to this product is in the installation directions. They aren't great. Despite that, I was able to do this in less than fifteen minutes. Anyone with enough patience and skill can manage this if they take their time, use common sense, and carefully observe how the old one was put together. Everything you need is included, even a piece of tape for the headphone wire and the screwdriver you need for disassembly. Removing the old one was simple, and getting the new one on was only slightly tricky. This could be due to the fact that I was putting an ATH M50 cover onto an ATH M40 but they're so similar in size that I doubt it. It's just a bit of a tight fit, which is necessary to preserve that factory look. Practice getting the alignment right before you remove the backing from the tape. Once you stick the tape onto the headband, carefully stretch the fabric around the band until the foam section is correctly aligned, stick the velcro together, and reassemble. I had to manage the wire inside the headband and make sure it didn't get pinched during reassembly, I don't know if that would be the same on the ATH M50. I assume so, because there is a piece of tape in just the right spot for you to stick the wire on to hold it still. The tape isn't super-sticky but it doesn't need to be; the velcro is doing the heavy lifting there. Despite being used for headphones not in the recommended list, fit and finish were just fine. The material feels about the same as what I replaced, just typical pleather over a thin foam cushion. The foam is thicker in this replacement than what was originally in it. That's a plus. And, the color matches. After installation, the headband replacement looks like it belongs there. It looks really close to factory, actually. It only lacks the brand name logo that the original had, and I don't care about that. The cushion is slightly thicker, which adds a small amount of comfort to what was already a comfortable-to-wear headphone. Looking at it now, no one can tell I've had these for almost a decade. Very pleased with this product and would recommend.

Easy to install and good instruction. Nice fit and will last for years. I have Audio Technica M50X and It looks like the original minus the logo

The kit comes with everything that you need to replace the cover. Looked at a couple different products but this one looks the best as it is seamless and looks oem. Good quality material and easy to install. I'm waiting on the replacement ear pads but I'm excited seeing the quality of this.

These replacement bands have a great feel to them and the way that it’s wrapped give me great confidence that it’ll stay in place. Some things weren’t clear on the instructions like the fact that I have cut off the gray padding and then take off the underside foam padding but once I figured that out, the installation went fairly well.

Excellent value and quality. The installation directions were clear. I learned when removing the old headband, there is some padding and adhesive residue where the headband is clamped to the headphone. This should be removed before installing the new headband. Also, the new headband needed some trimming for the clamp parts to meet and be secured. I did not unpeel the new headband adhesive as instructed because the hook and loop is strong to hold it in place. I replaced the earpads at the same time as the headband so the pictures show that as well.

Looks basically original minus the lettering on top. Easy to install if you read the directions and take your time. It took me less than 10mins to get it on. My only wish is that the material was thicker, but as this is so inexpensive, I won't mind replacing every year or two. Overall very satisfied.

great product. simple to put on and looks factory.

Instructions aren't very clear whether it's the printed ones in the box, or the video on their YouTube channel. Installation is a major pain in the ass, and the headband won't sit right because you have headphones dangling in the way (it doesn't mention anywhere to disconnect them). Terrible product, would rather pay the full price of new headphones than deal with this again.

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。

Fits well, pretty easy to mount. Quality seems fine, gave new life to old headset!

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.

Très satisfait. Remplace très bien le bandeau de mon audio-technica ATH-M50BT2.Assez facile à mettre. A voir sur la durée mais similaire à l'original

Fácil de colocar . Buena calidad de material. Se ajusta perfectamente a la diadema. Admite suplementar el grosor por la parte que toca a la cabeza , añadiendo la espuma amarilla original cortando el sobrante del plástico al que va adherida, es suficientemente flexible.
