A few years agone my husband got sick of me e'er borrowing his headphones, so he gave me my ain pair. Even though we were quite happy with these earphones, over the past twelvemonth or and then the cheap cloth covering the ear pads starting coming off. Information technology got to the betoken that neither of usa were using them anymore because we'd become all these trivial $.25 of grime stuck to us every time. I didn't see any reason why we should buy new headphones seeing as they yet worked perfectly well, then I decided to find a solution to my flaking headphone pads.

Run into all that crumbling gunk around the sides of the ear pads?

It was even worse on the office that comes in contact with the side of your head, because information technology got rubbed off fifty-fifty more, sticking to my hair and skin. Ew!

I merely apply these headphones while sitting at my computer and working, and so I didn't really care how good they looked. And 1 day, when my kids asked if I could cut off the toe of an sometime pair of stockings for them to practise a projection, inspiration struck. My one-time tights could easily encompass up the flaking headphone pads without feeling uncomfortable and without muffling the sound!

Materials:

one pair of headphones with ruined ear pads
ane pair of tights (or a small part of them)

Trim off whatever particularly long bits of stocking sticking out beyond the rubberband, though don't cut too close or information technology could slip out.

Wasn't that nigh the about ridiculously easy fix ever? Sure, they're not the most gorgeous headphones ever, merely I really don't intendance because at present I can wear them without it looking like I have behemothic-sized dandruff afterwards!
