Fix my 'phones

Post date: 2020-09-18 14:01:43

The padded headband on my trusty over-ear headphones has (well, had) some sort of leatherette coating that has peeled away, leaving just the interior foam behind, which seems to be quite delicate. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can protect the foam and keep using these otherwise completely functional headphones?

Regular adhesive tape doesn't seem to want to stick to the foam. Other ideas I am considering so far are:

- Wrapping the headband with string/yarn/twine
- Sewing or acquiring (where?) some sort of stretchy fabric tube to cover the exposed foam
- ???

As you can see from the link, the headband is detachable so I don't have to worry about fitting something over the ear cups. Ideally the solution would be both somewhat non-janky (or janky in a convincingly stylish way) and comfortable. I considered heat shrink tubing, but am a bit concerned that rubber will pull at my hair? Any other ideas? Thanks!
