Important remarks

Aftermarket replacement earpads are available and cheap, I'd argue they're just as durable! but please avoid the cooling gel WC Freeze earpads, the seams on those are pathetic, they broke under six months of constant use revealing the blue gel material. The OEM earpads lasted around five to six years, very respectable.

3d models of the slider covers are freely available online if you'd like to print some to save a buck.

You can remove the risk of the cable breaking at the cup by soldering a female audio jack and securing it to the cup, I might make a tutorial on this.

If you see the headband material start flaking, preemptively peel off what you can because the material WILL detach itself. When wearing, it feels the same after completely flaking off. (unless you're bald or something, rip lmao)
