Reply to comment by AnotherSpecificDuck in About 2 years of use, my Sundara headband collapses and idk how to repair it. by Whatever_acc

There's natural wear and tear to all clothed and "leather" parts especially if you use headphones daily for years. That doesn't impair their functionality unlike collapsing headband.

this ain't natural wear and tear. look how scuffed the rim of your ear cups are. have to treat headphones like a piece of expensive gear to make them last

Yeah I know but I used many headphones for years and they never looked like this. My Beyers (1990 pro) saw daily use for 2,5 years) and I sold them looking like new

Nah, bruh… That’s not natural wear and tear. This is natural wear and tear.

Why the headband wrapped in bubble wrap?

The leather strap fell off, which made the headband far too big and uncomfortable. There was no way to glue it back on without breaking the headband further. It was still functioning so I didn’t wanna risk it.

I wanted to see if one of those headband covers would work so I tested it out with bubble wrap instead. It worked but obviously the bubbles would eventually pop. Adding some packing peanuts helped and was unusually comfortable. I have since ordered a $10-$15 headband cover from Amazon because… well, you see how janky it looks lol
