Sticky foam tape

Jan 17, 2012 5 Replies

My Sennheiser microphone had two bits of stick-on foam as a cushion where the headband touches my face.

the foam has unstuck itself, and I need a replacement - preferably hypoallergenic. Any suggestions what I can put in it's place please?


Have you spoken to Sennheiser?

example. Its widely used in sealing.

As for hypoallergenic..try not wearing a headset at all.

Has the foam failed or just the sticky?

If the foam is OK a bit of double sided tape should to the trick.

If the foam has failed and Senny don't do the spare I'd start looking at absorbent foam wound dressings for the foam pad (but don't expect to find black, "caucasian" is more likely) and you may still need double sided tape to fix it. The self adhesive wound dressings tend not to be foamy where the adhesive is.

In the end, I bought some hypoallergenic stick on felt.

seems to stick okay, so now I just need to see whether it stays stuck or gets all grungy.
