Fits all AB1266 models.

Please follow these steps carefully when replacing your AB1266 headband:

A new leather headband may stretch slightly over time. To accelerate this break-in process, we recommend hanging the headphone on a stand for a few days, allowing the leather to relax into a more natural position.

If you find you need less headband tension or prefer the earpads to sit lower on your ears, you can swap the stock o-rings with slightly larger sizes

• US Sizes: 214 or 215
• Metric: 3.5 × 24 mm or 3.5 × 24.7 mm

Even a small increase in inner diameter can significantly reduce tension.

Stock O-Ring Specs:

• US: 213
• Metric: 3.5 × 23.7 mm
• Japan: P24

👉 Pro Tip: You can find affordable Viton or Buna-N o-ring kits on Amazon to experiment with fit.

• Stock AB1266 o-rings are made of urethane (approx. 70 D hardness), offering superior durability.
• Buna-N or Viton are more common and lower cost alternatives but may wear out sooner.
• Avoid plain rubber or non-specified materials as quality and performance may vary.
• Plumbing o-rings likely have no protection against UV light and will deteriorate.
