Perfect Replacement
"Over time the leather stretches and the new one makes the headphone feel like new."
ASY1096-KT
Our spring steel suspension headbands are designed to distribute weight evenly across your head, reducing hotspots and promoting comfort for extended listening sessions! The bands fit all LCD headphones except LCD-1 and LCD-5.
Please note:ย The serial number of your LCD headphones is located on the headband. It is advisable to remove the serial number sticker from the old headband and replace it on your new one, or to keep the old headband in case of warranty service on your headphones.
We also offer the suspension straps alone, in either leather or leather-free options. Simply choose the STRAP ONLY option in your choice of materials from the drop-down menu. The straps also fits our Carbon Fiber headbands!
To replace the suspension strap, just remove the four screws on the inside of each adjustment block, then put the new strap in place and re-insert the screws. The exact pattern and spacing of the perforations may vary slightly from the photo shown.
A full instruction sheet and simple tools are included with each headband, to make changing bands as easy as possible. You can download the instructional guide here.

"Over time the leather stretches and the new one makes the headphone feel like new."
"Parts fit perfectly to my LCD2 easy deal to install them."
"Ironically, I didn’t buy these because I needed them right now, I bought them as a back up. I bought my LCD2s in ‘21 and they are still pretty much flawless. Still, better to have them and don’t need them. And taking into consideration the quality and sturdiness of these headbands, most probably they will pass to my daughter, unopened, amidst the rest of my Audeze stuff."
"After using my headphones for a couple years the tension wasn’t there anymore. With the new strap it has brought my headphones tension back to like it was when it was new."
"Love the headband, with the turbulent labs strap it increases comfort immensely and helps reduce the weight on my head. However the stock headstrap is too long and touches the headband creating hotspots and negating the whole suspension aspect of the headband design."
"Very comfortable headband. With the weight of the LCD Classics, it is crucial to have a headband that balances the weight and is comfortable"
"The headband doesn't hold up well in a high humidity environnent; they peel and disintegrate."
"Highly recommended for those with single strap padded headbands. This headband spreads the headphone (LCD-2) weight well and increases comfort. $125 is a high price to pay for a $1K headphone that should have this headband to begin with - I also highly recommend bringing this price to $99, max."
"Carbon Fibre version easily removes 20g from your head, more gentle clamping as well, doesn't clamp as hard or strong as the Metal Variant New 4 Lanes Holes Genuine Leather Strap, even when new, installed on headband is only less than 10mm before touching the headband top, but when wore on head the strap spread out a bit, but is only matter of time when the strap get stretched longer and eventually touch the headband when wore on head and lose its suspension function. Conclusion is that the Strap is still good and perform as advertised when new but there is still room for improvement to increase the tolerance for wear and tear or suspension gap clearance by either inventing a new installing method of strap or location like other competitor company which have their suspension strap hug or wrapped the user head area more for greater weight distribution :)"
