qustioton for head band replacment

Kind of, I recently replaced it with SOULWIT Protein Leather Headband Cover for Corsair Virtuoso from amazon.

It is not a perfect replacement because there is a slit on one side of the leather since it uses Velcro to close. However I think it looks pretty nice in person, and it was dead simple to install as well. I saw other replacements on Amazon however they were almost more like giant sleeves you just cover up the old headband with and seemed really lame. While this one is technically a sleeve as well, it is much more similar in concept/shape/size to the original band.

Also I have replaced the earcups on 2 separate occasions with 2 different products off amazon, so I will also mention those here as well since its likely to be relevant.

Geekria QuickFit Replacement Ear Pads for Corsair Virtuoso

I ordered these in July, 2023 and within about 1 year exactly they looked how they do in the before pic below.

++ They are a great color match for the brown.

++ Basically identical profile to the original earcups.

++ Glasses comfort is unchanged from original earcups (which is a good thing for me).

// Feel slightly different to the original ear cups but not enough to matter.

-- Wore down too fast for my taste.

Replacement Ear Pads Cushion Cover with Protein Leather & Memory Foam for Corsair Virtuoso

I ordered these just 2.5 weeks ago, hoping to get a pair that would last longer than the Geekria ones. These are pictured in the after pic below.

++ Feel a little higher quality than the Geekria ones, and one of the trouble spots seems to be more reinforced.

++ Glasses comfort is unchanged yet again.

// Color match for the brown is slightly off, sometimes you can tell a bit, often you cannot.

-- Profile of the entire headset feels way different and a looks a bit worse with these attached because they are so thick compared to the originals. They also effectively reduce the max size that the headset can now fit.

Final thoughts on earcups:

If the cons of the second earcups don't bother you, I would tentatively recommend those. I can't speak from experience on the long term durability obviously, but I'm like 85% confident they will hold up quite a bit better. If you are after the better earcup, and don't care about replacing them once a year, I feel the Geekria are much better. Also these are not the only replacements you can find on Amazon, however if you have the brown virtuoso SE like I do, then these are pretty much it iirc.

After pics:

(showcasing the headband I linked, and the Jecobb earcups. The earcups appear even thicker in person) EDIT: Ignore that weird spot where the fabric is not tucked at the end of the headband. I tucked it properly since and it looks how it should.

Showing the slit of the replacement headband:

(I think it even looks significantly better in person than this pic shows)
