HIFIMAN Hybrid Headband Swap

A little how to, here we put a Sundara style headband onto an HE560.

If only the screws on the "new" headband were as easy do undo as they seem in the video lol. Mine came almost fused to the yoke from the factory.

[@rendyg1176]

does it fit on Edition X v1?

[@brutalaj]

Why would you do this and switch from the comfiest of the bunch

[@steffanzwerg3424]

Thnak You for the Manuel! Now is my Ananda perfekt. :-)

[@danielsumi]

Is it possible to do it but the other way around (HE560 headband on Sundara)?

[@MaxNakfoor]

Also curious, I would like to put a headband on with swivel adjustment so I can use larger flat pads instead of the stupid angled ones.

[@stephentranter6670]

Is the product compatible with HE400i Version 2020 or deva?

[@theKaminoanru]

Was it compatible with them?

[@nortonfamily6711]

Does this work with the Arya?

[@FlorencioParaon]

Is it compatible with the HE6se V2?

[@MrAnome]

does it work on the Edition XS ?

[@jou1969]

I also have the xs and the headband is very bad, have you found a solution?

[@MrAnome]

@@jou1969 Hifiman will probably sell a better headband in their website like they did with other headphones in the future

[@dvessel]

$125 for the hybrid headband and the originals for the HE560 v1 not in stock. Will probably never be in stock. No thanks!

[@sebastianmartinez9998]

Is the headband made of metal or plastic?

[@Knowbody42]

Yes.

[@wadeoreo1]

indeed.

[@b4l4zs]

Is this headband compatible with HE-500? Thank you

[@tutakahaman]

No/yes. With some slight modifications, yes. You would simply need to ever so slightly increase the holes diameter. I have just been trying to figure out what size drill bit I need before I order these.

[@tacanacy]

@@tutakahaman Did you find out?

[@tutakahaman]

@@tacanacy No, I never actually found out. I was searching because my dog broke my headband. Luckily I was able to glue mine back together and get it functional again. I actually purchased a headphone strap from Lohb on Headfi. I highly recommend it! I use them on my HE-400 headphones which are super heavy but it makes them so comfy that I wear them all day. I have them paired with Mr speakers alpha pads.

[@tacanacy]

@@tutakahaman Ok, thanks. I use the Pilot Pad from ZMF, myself. It's heavenly comfortable.
