Headphone pad adhesive

[Shadrach]

I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 595s.
The velour type pads are coming away from the headphone body.
The adhesive that is still there, but not dried out, looks similar to that used to seal the rubber/neoprene roll to the chassis on some bass drivers.
Does anyone know where I can buy a small quantity of a similar adhesive, or if not, what adhesives have others used to glue pads to headphone bodies?

You can get replacement pads pretty cheap off eBay, My HD 595 is over 10 years old so new pads and fixing up the headband has made them as good as new!

You should be able to buy compatible OEM replacement pads online. Those come with fresh adhesive from what I can tell.
Search for "Sennheiser 572287" and "Sennheiser 572280".
I don't know the difference between those two unfortunately.

I don't need new pads. I already have a spare set if required but they didn't come with adhesive.
I just need the correct glue or one that has proven to work for these types of pads.

You don't need glue - they clip in.

Some adhesives I've had luck with on projects is Scotch double sided tape, which has a really powerful adhesive on it, and thin enough for most things. 3M makes it too in different thicknesses. Just don't use super glue on plastic, too much chance of melting/warping. Don't those come with a locking ring already installed that snaps into the groove? I've seen some that don't come with the ring so you have to transplant it. For those I use the double sided tape.

Can you post a picture of the issue ?
I assume you mean the pad is coming loose from the mounting ring as shown below.

I have been considering double sided tape.
Thanks.

Silicone adhesive might be worth considering. I have used it on a Sony headset whose earpads have been gradually disintegrating.
It actually is available in colors too.

The pads themselves are still in good condition. The skirt that locates the pads on the ear pieces has come away from the pad itself in places. The after market replacement pads I have do not have a skirt and may not even be the right pads for the model.
I could get another replacement pad set with the skirt andmaybe this is the best option.
It does seem a bit of a waste though when some type of adhesive would do the job.
I'll see if I can get a picture or posted later.
Thanks for the video link.

I think I've found what I'm after. I used to have a couple of tubes of similar glue for loudspeaker rebuilds.
It's finding one that is suitable for plastic to cloth. Some are fine for metal to rubber but not so good with cloth.
Anyway, in case someone else has a similar problem this should work.
