Earpad Adapter Ring for Sennheiser HD 580 600 650

Quick answer

The Brainwavz adapter ring lets you fit Oval and Angled replacement earpads onto Sennheiser HD 580, 600, 650, and HD660s headphones. Installation takes a few minutes with no tools required.

Installation steps

1. Remove the original earpads: Grip the stock pad at the base and twist counter-clockwise until it unlatches from the bayonet mount. Pull the pad straight off. Repeat on the other side. Don't yank the pad at an angle – you could crack the plastic mounting ring on the headphone.
2. Attach the adapter ring to the headphone: Line up the three tabs on the adapter ring with the slots on the headphone's earpiece. Press the ring onto the bayonet mount and twist clockwise until it clicks into place. Make sure the ring sits flush against the earpiece. A gap means the tabs aren't fully seated – remove and re-align before twisting.
3. Fit the Brainwavz earpad onto the adapter: Stretch the lip of your Oval or Angled earpad over the outer ridge of the adapter ring. Work your way around the circumference, pressing the pad material into the groove until it's fully seated. Start at the top and bottom first, then the sides. This prevents the pad from bunching or twisting on the ring.
4. Check alignment and repeat on the other side: Rotate the earpad to ensure it sits evenly and doesn't rub against the headphone yoke. If the pad feels loose, remove it and re-seat it more firmly. Repeat steps 1-3 for the second earpiece. Test the fit by gently pulling the pad outward – it should stay in place without sliding off the adapter ring.
