The foam earpieces on my headphones have fallen apart after 6 years.
Makes them pretty uncomfortable.
Does anyone know Sennheiser's address, so I can ask them how to get new ones ?
(I threw away the box they came in *long* ago.)
Or are replacements available in retail audio shops ?

(Some netters might recall a discussion I initiated by a posting some months back on the lifetime of foam products.) Anyway, Sennheiser wants ridiculous prices for factory replacement foam pads, and you probably have to order them direct, so there is no discount, AND they even have the temerity to ask shipping charges for the already-far-overpriced things that weigh just about nothing!!!!!! I bought some generic headphone replacement pads made by Recotron or one of the other accessory houses -- about $1.20 (for 4) from a mail-order place I was getting other stuff from anyway. They had to be stretched to fit over the Sennheisers I have, but the price was about what they were really worth, so I recommend you take that route. Will
