Members J.Paul Posted November 28, 2012 Members Share Posted November 28, 2012 My beloved old school Sony MDR-V6 headphones are loosening their grip on my head. The result is that the bass response disappears, so I have to wear a thick hat to squeeze them back. Should I just man-up and buy a new set of 'phones?

Phil O'Keefe Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Probably. If you've had them for ages, they might just be worn out... but aren't the headbands on those just a flat metal band under the leatherette? I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure they are. If so, maybe the band has just "flattened out" a bit and gotten looser over the years. You might be able to carefully bend it back to a slightly more curved shape, thus increasing the pressure that the earcups press against the side of your head, resulting in a better seal and fit, and thus better bass. Sony might sell replacement parts for them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ambient Posted November 28, 2012 Members Share Posted November 28, 2012 You could always try something like this with a head band: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
