Experience Replacement Cushion Headphone

Perhaps for those who have used earphones in the Asian market for more than one year, those who use headphones with high frequency or use that headset to listen to music while exercising. Sports are no stranger to the fact that the foam cushions on both sides of the headset smell very uncomfortable and peel off, making it difficult to use the headphones every time. Many people intend to throw away unused headphones because of these two ear cushions; others do not know whether to replace or cover the cushion. Where are the quality and reputable headphones, even though I have searched and looked up a lot. So why does my headset have a peeling phenomenon, leaving a bad smell on the ear cushions? How to preserve to help the earpads avoid peeling, tearing, and bad odors and instructions on replacing the foam cushion, re-wrapping the headset.

Part 1: Causes of peeling, smelly earpads:

1. Due to weather:

In South Asia, the weather is considered by experts to be quite harsh for electronic technology products. The weather is erratic, hot, and humid. The temperature can change quickly. The humidity in the air is always at a very high level, which easily leads to peeling, oxidation, brittleness, and dehydration. The fungus appears on the surface of the leatherette layers, but that leatherette is the outer layer of the pairs of foam cushions on the earphones.

2. Due to the habit of using:

Surely many users use the headset when finished using it very rarely when storing them in the box and a dry place, but just hanging or leaving it outside, making the earpads always in contact with the air day by day.

Or there is a case when using the headset in a hot atmosphere, using the headset to practice sports, or wearing the headset for a long time, causing the phenomenon of sweat to absorb and stay on the earpads. Still, immediately after that, there are no hygienic measures such as cleaning and drying, but immediately put the headset in the box or put it in a place that is not dry, not ventilated.

And finally, there is no proper deodorizing measure when the earpads have a foul smell. Some users spray a lot of perfume on the ear cushions; some people take the earpads to wash and dry in the sun, etc.

Improper usage methods in the above forms can lead to the phenomenon that the earpads are quickly damaged, torn, peeled, and increasingly stinky.

Part 2: How to properly store headphones

1. Use the carrying case

The best way to prevent headphones in general and the foam padding on headphones, in particular, is best preserved, avoiding exposure to the outside air is to use a case for your headphones and store them in a safe place in a dry place when not in use.

2. Dry after use

That is a very important thing to overcome the peeling situation and especially to overcome the smell of the headset. Make sure that after using the headset, leave the headset in the driest and ventilated place for 15-20 minutes so that the foam pad can be dried, or you can use a fan to blow directly into the inner earphone. 5-7 minutes, this will help the surface of the ear cushions become drier, avoiding the retention of sweat on the faux leather surface to create maximum effect to prevent the headset from being smelly. Never use a hot dryer such as a hairdryer to dry the surface of the foam mattress.

If possible, you should also use an additional moisture-proof / moisture-proof package when leaving the headset in the case to increase the effectiveness of the headset’s preservation.

3. How to deodorize

To deodorize the foam pad on the headset, you must first dry it, then take a sealed bag and put your headset in it with a small bag of coffee grounds (dried, no water) or 1-2 tea bags dipped with some moisture-proof/desiccant packets. For about 1-2 days, the smell on the headphones has decreased significantly, but to be more effective, you should do the same thing about 2-3 times. Note that the bag must be tight, not open.

Part 3: Instructions for replacing foam cushions and earphone covers

Depending on the headset’s brand, design, and popularity on the market, the ear cushions will usually be divided into types: Available (common) and crafted – wrapped (not universal).

1. Universal:

The characteristics of these earpads are that they are almost always available and easy to replace, often with replacement instructions included. However, with some lines requiring specialized tools to disassemble and replace, it is recommended that you ask for help from the seller to avoid the situation that you do not know how to disassemble and replace, leading to preliminary damage intended to damage the headset.

2. Not common:

The feature of this type is that the earpads are unavailable and may not be manufactured because the number of headphones sold is low, too big, or has a different housing. No manufacturing company can produce replacement foam lines. In this case, it is recommended that you go to reputable sales places to receive advice and support to cover the headset and replace the suitable, best foam cushion for your headset while still ensuring the charging capacity, aesthetics, and sound quality.
