Well made, fits others headphone models too, has a nice loop to hang the headphones!
I bought two and liked them enough that I'm buying 4 more (to cover all of my headphones.) They fit perfectly on my DT-770 and DT-990, obviously -- but they also fit on my Sennheiser HD 620s, Sony MDR-7506, and Audio Technica ATH-M50x. The fitting is slightly loose on my Sennheiser HD6XX but I'm using it anyway so they all match. But the others fit perfectly.They do seem a little pricey, but they're well made. Let me describe: There's a thin layer of breathable foam-like material, which adds a wee bit of cushioning, and than outside of that is the dense fishnet covering. Perfect. MOST headphone bands will eventually flake, and the density of that foam layer should catch the flakes and add life to your headphone band before you have to replace it.To be clear, this product is meant to go OVER your headband -- NOT replace the headband(!). But back to the build quality --- the zipper mechanism feels good and has a standard zipper locking mechanism. Turn it straight up to zip, and lay it flat to lock. This prevents it from unzipping itself.But here's the cool thing I didn't notice until I got it -- see that loop at the top? That allows you to hang your headphone on a bar, on a hook, whatever. But the magic is it distributes the weight across the whole headband so it's not causing excess pressure at a focused point on the headband, like some headphone hangers cause! This, too, adds to the lifespan of your headband.So for me the value is that I believe these will give me another 1-2 years of headband life... But they seem well made, so I believe they will last for years and multiple headband replacements! Given the price of headband replacements, I think these will pay for themselves eventually.PS. Be sure when you put it on to put it so the loop is toward the back of the headphone when you wear it. It just looks better that way.

difficult to install/zip without damaging it. Once installed, it is fine.
only significant but small complaint is difficulty of installation. it is easy to start the zipper misaligned and difficult to reverse that mistake without damage. Make sure the zipper and bottom tabs are aligned perfectly before zipping.After using it for a week, everyday for an average of 10 hours each day, I feel like the headband is more comfortable, but that may be in relation to the old, tattered pleather I replaced.This netting should be stock, paired with the pleather, for comfort and durability.I would spend the extra $20 markup on my $180 purchase of these headphones if it was.The weakest link I see with it is the top ribbon for hanging them on a hook.I put a keyring on my ribbon because I hang the headphones on a bolt on my equipment rack and the bolt threads are abrasive/damaging over time. That bolt definitely messed up the stock pleather I had to replace.Now I have it protected AND hanging correctly/safely.I have had these headphones since 2020, Use them everyday as a full-time musician/producer, have removed and cleaned the ear muffs twice (soak oxyclean + hot water in a bowl), and the sound quality is still perfect,These Beyerdynamic Dt990 pro headphones are the best headphones I have ever heard in my life.Fantastic quality. They deserve this headband mesh upgrade.

Perfect Solution!
This is a great product. Is your Byerdynamic outer headband material disintegrating? It's like it's made of tissue paper. Don't buy a whole new headband. I was unable to find a suitable one and then I came across this gem. If the padding of your headband is ok, just cover the whole thing with with this zip-on COVER, It is a COVER, not a headband. It fits my DT990 perfectly and the original padding feels exactly the same. It's a perfect solution. Other reviews that state the pictures are misleading are simply off base. I looked at the picture and immediately knew exactly what it is.

Cover for the Cover
The images and description sort of misrepresent what this item actually is. It's not so much of a headband cover but a cover for the original headband cover. Meaning, you don't remove the original, in my case worn, headband cover but you cover it up with this cover. Overall it is a good quality cover but not what I was expecting as I needed a replacement cover that included the cushioning.

Keep the old band underneath
Nice fit over the old band. Too loose without the old one on. Looks great and very comfortable.

Great option to cover the original band if it is flaking
I bought this because I was tire of the flaking/peeling of the normal headband, and did not want to have o buy another again. It is fairly easy to install and is comfortable to wear. For the price it is a great option to cover the existing band and not have o worry about the peeling of the fake leather. I also really like he look better too and it covers the full length of the original

Good Quality and Usability
Overall this is a great alternative to trying to buy OEM or alternative pads.Compatible with beyerdynamic's DT 700 Pro X.Easy to "install" and wash.Build quality is decent, nice quality mesh and zipper (both parts).

Fits perfectly on my DT 990
I bought this protective headband cover, Because the headband on my Beyerdynamic DT 990 600 Ohm Headphones are starting to wear out, Instead of buying a new headband, I bought this protective cover, and it fit perfectly, Was able to use the zipper, Its also nice that it can be washable in the future
