Hi,
I have a pair of Form 1 headphones where the pads have gone south, so I need new ones. Previously they were available from LifeStyle but they have stopped selling them.
Anyone have any to sell? Am located in Sweden.
Thanks guys,
We bought the last 50 sets, then they were discontinued..
Sadly - they all sold.

So my headphones are now useless? That's such a shame....
I suggest you ask a couple of dealers. I'm sure that some dealers still have some in the drawer.If not, don't just give up. Make some !

I believe there is a market, albeit small for some of the crafty members on here.
I say this as not even a week ago, I moved my F1's from their resting position after two years and all of the foam fell off!
Was this the original foam? NOPE! It was a brand new replacement set -and I never even used the F1's after installation!
I have a new set - drop me a PM & you may be able to convince me to part with them.

Why pay such ridiculous prices for a piece of foam with double sided tape! Should not be that difficult to make them yourself?

Time is the enemy of those foam products. That's often the problem with new materials -you don't know how they'll behave in 15-20 years.
Especially a problem for B&O products that often last for decades. While many low-budget consumer electronics ends up on the scrap yard long before those problems emerge.
