Headphones and Sweat

[tp95112]

Iv been using my headphone for a good while and since its summer my ear gets sweaty and the cups of the headphones are paved with sweat aswell. How does everyone combat this? I know the easy "take them off after a couple of minutes" but what do you guys do?

I have a windowed A/C to keep me from sweating in the first place. :P

Open headphones and velvet pads help too. ;)

crank up the volume and wear them on your neck

yeah I love my ad700 for hot days 

 

some people have cut the top part of socks (near ankles) and wrapped them around their leather/pleather pads to keep down the sweat

 

edit: also keep shifting the earcups around every once in a while.

My headset has leather which is a sweat magnet

At first I nearly gagged, but then I thought about how good some of my socks feel when they're clean.... :rolleyes:

[t0wer]

I just use the velour pads instead of the leather pads.

Any ideas to make a Steelseries Siberia V2 ear cups?

[Hoppa]

My earpads can be replaced, so I can change them from pleather to velour.

 

If you can't replace the earpads, you can put soft socks over each ear piece.
