I just bought a used pair of focal elear and have found out that focal headbands are known to snap. I've seen people use hifiman headbands as a replacement but I can't find any available online. Then I find out that the sundara yoke can fit into a beyerdynamic headband so I am looking to find a yoke from a sundara. This is all for the worst case that my new to me elear breaks.

Thanks

"known to snap" mate it's like a 1/100,000 chance of it happening, insanely rare. There's probably what, 500k+ focals out there if not more? I can count on one hand the amount of headband snap posts on this sub.

U could be right. I may be in a analysis paralysis.

You might be able to email Hifiman Support and ask for them.

Other options include buying the whole assembly or getting the cheaper comfort headband that they sell. It apparently has the right dimensions. Apparently Audeze headbands also work and I'll be testing that soon when I receive mine

I plan on making a post about it. I got an AliExpress knockoff that's well liked. I'm getting conflicting info on shipping so either it's gonna be here this week or the middle of next month
