Hi there!
I got a Pioneer SE-DJ5000 headphone. It's 3-4 years old now and I still like it. However the leather on the earpads are now rather hard than soft. Now it is quite uncomfortable after longer use. I don't want to replace the pads to new ones, because they would cost the third of the price of the headphone.
Anyone has any idea how to make the earpads soft again? Anyone had the same problem before with any other headphone?
Regards,
Lanno

•Purchase isopropyl rubbing alcohol. This can be bought at your local drug or grocery store. The brand of the alcohol is of no concern to this process.
•2
Pour some of the alcohol onto a cotton ball. Rub the cotton ball thoroughly all over the leather belt. You may need to use more than one cotton ball if the first one becomes mangled. Repeat this process two more times to ensure the alcohol has soaked into the leather.
•3
Use Vaseline to rub onto the belt as well. This product can be purchased at most grocery stores and drug stores. This process is best done by using your fingers. Make sure you rub the entire belt with the Vaseline. You will not have to repeat this process. By performing this step, the leather is not only loosened, but it is also softened.
•4
Use the same technique as mentioned before on all your other leather products. Shoes, belts, purses and wallets can all receive the same treatment and will all be loosened and softened by the above process. This process will also protect your shoes from water damage as well
