My Sennheiser headphones inner foam is rotted. Also the headband is flattened. Earpads are fine however I wouldn't mind replacing all three. I've looked on Amazon and Ebay and see there are various options. I just want oem or equivalent replacements. Where do I get them? Thanks
 
Thanks, I guess Sennheiser is the only place where I can get the correct parts. There are numerous 580 parts on Ebay and Amazon for far less money that looked exactly the same which is why I was asking. I just didn't want to spend $50+ when there appears to be aftermarket parts that may be fine.
 
Several years ago I bought inlay replacements cut from acoustic cloth from a chap selling these in eBay here in Germany. Should last essentially forever. The original foam ones should ship with a set of OEM replacement earpads. Those have always been kinda expensive, no clue what the quality of aftermarket options is like though. (If need be, people in the past have resorted to slicing such pads open from the back and restuffing them.)

The handband padding design kinda sucks, it's just too narrow. No wonder it flattens out in no time. At the very least consider upgrading to the HD650 part. I just taped a piece of foam in place, looks a bit ghetto but is way more comfy than stock. There may be fancier ways of going about it.
 
I appreciate the info. I'd hoped maybe some aftermarket products would be fine. The deteriorating foam inside the ear cups I just noticed a few days ago. At this point I'm going to not worry about it. If I used them more than a few hours a year I'd get the oem parts. They're plenty comfortable still.
