Hi, as far as I know the earpads/earpads are removable in any case and on all headphones.

I would like to know if, with a little research, there are sorry pieces not of bearings but of padding for the headphone model headband, in case the original one is removable.

I ask about these 3 models:
-Anker Soundcore Life Q35
-Anker Soundcore Space Q45
- Akg N700NC M2
- Bose quietcomfort 35 II 2018

You can contact the manufacturer and ask if they sell headbands or padding as spare parts.
Some do (Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic amongst a few), most don't.
Sometimes replacements can be found on Chinese websites for specific models.

An option is to wrap some aftermarket covers around it.
Plenty different dimensions of covers like the one shown below and knitted ones exist.

I 'solved' it sometimes (when the whole headband can be removed/disassembled) like shown below with a cable sheath.

I've had the Anker Q35 and if you just want the easiest way to go, it's one of these zipper style black headbands that go on several models.

thanks, in your experience it must necessarily be for that model ?
It just has to fit, with the length and thickness as the model it's for. On Amazon they have replacement headbands with those measurements, so you could compare it's size to some other ones. If the replacement band gives measurements, just cut paper the same size to see which headphones you have it'll wrap around.
