Keeping an Older Headset Going

Sental

I've got an older Corsair Vengence 2100 Headset and it works for what I need so I don't want to replace them. Their perfectly functional accept for the headband.

The plastic (probably) soft comfy bit is perishing, the covering is coming off and some of it getting sticky. So I'm looking for opinions and suggestions on covering it or otherwise making easier to wear, at least so I'm not finding bits of it on my head after using it.

Happened to me with all my headphones, what i would do is scrape / remove the soft bits till i uncover the fabric / foam.

The best way to do this is by taking off the fabric and foam from the headband and replace it with a new one, probably from china or even Corsair themselves if they supply parts for them still.

 

I do this with all my headphones, I even replace the ear cups when they become warn because they often add a lot more life to what would otherwise be a non-comfortable/functioning headset or pair of headphones. They can usually be gained for cheap too!
