Title: Headphone issue
Post by: VirginiaJim on December 26, 2014, 06:44:08 AM
I got a set of wireless headphones for Christmas.  Sennheiser RS120.  I like them and they work well.....except when I bend my head down.  They then promptly fall off.  So other than expanding my head significantly I need suggestions on how to keep them from falling off..  They have flat earpieces, not the sculpted ones that fit around the ears.

Suggestions not to be entertained..

Bungee cord?
Staples?
Velcro?
Bubble gum?

All worthy suggestions.  Velcro may work but I'm scared it might pull out what hair I have left on the sides.  I'm thinking a black sweat band or a largish rubber band.

This works for a cell maybe it'll work for your 'phones?

As a plus, it'll keep your head warm on those chilly mornings.

Not as fashionable or cool as Conrad's idea, but you could maybe adapt one of these:

I think the ones with the little loops on the end would be best as you could pull the cord through the loop to make a bigger loop that would cinch around the headphone just above the ear cups.

There seems to be some confusion going on.....

Grab a handful of the headphones' curved body with each hand and bend inwards. Tighten the curvature of the overhead part. It should lessen the radius and tighten the grip.

I use Sennheisers with a HEAVY cord - worked for me.

I grabbed the Sennheiser MM200 wireless earbuds while they had them. I love them.

I'll have to talk to my wife about that but I think she may not go for it.

Don't forget to mention that it's a safety issue, helps with all the farkles.  ;)

At first I thought you were referring to the picture above. I was all for it.
