What size foam Covers???

martymcfly - 2013-08-07 16:26

I just bought a Aiwa HS-PX101 complete with all accessories in mint condition, however as you might have guessed the Headphone foams have deteriorated.  What size covers will fit these awesome beauties?  I would like to get them ordered so when the Unit arrives I can marry them together and then begin to drool.  I have waited along time for her to come home!

 

Thanks

The foam needs to be very thin, otherwise the headphones will not sound as good. Done right, the HP-MR1s sound excellent - I have a pair of these exact headphones on right now at work.

Find some cheapo headphones or a computer headset that has the right size & type of foams. Best advice: take the Aiwa headphones to a big electrical store, see what they have that fits, note the model number & buy cheaper from Amazon etc.

Thanks for the info, can you measure the headphones for me.  Are they 50mm 60mm this is what I need.  Thank you for the info about the thinness needed that is very helpful.  Glad to know they sound great.  There is a slight problem with the sound coming from them.  Seller stated it might be a fault with the remote.  Hope Retropcdos can fix this.  Originally Posted by isolator42:

outside diameter is 50mm.

The volume control on the remote can get a bit dodgy. Try a little switch cleaner inside, perhaps.
