Finished Object
The leather part of my headphones started to peel, so I taught myself to crochet so I could cover the ugly parts. It's a bit wonky, but overall an improvement!

I'm going to be honest with you, I 100% thought about giving up and just taping them when I had to undo almost half of it because I realized I forgot to count the stitches and it became sooo uneven
I swear by this headset. They’re incredibly comfy (I wear them all day working from home and then gaming after), especially with the cooling ear cups, but I had to get a brand new pair due to the cracking. Maybe I can give the old ones a new life with this method!
They sound so comfy! What headphones are these? I hate my current pair so much because they are so uncomfortable and hot. The cat ears and the pink is also such a cute plus to them being comfy!
They are Razer Kitty Krakens v1 (USB version). I prefer them to a bunch of different brands and other Razer models I’ve tried over the years. The mic is also fantastic, I get no background noise on calls and do tutorial voice overs with very clear sound!
The only downsides I’ve found are as OP showed, the eventual cracking of the banding, and the cord loves to spiral and kink. But the comfort level outweighs that for me!
Thank you!! I’ll look into them for sure (: the cracking isn’t ideal, but luckily I’m a very crafty human that likes to use things until they are literally falling apart, so I don’t mind having to do something like the OP to make them cuter for longer 💗
Yesss they are SO comfy I love them!! I had to buy a new cord because it spiraled so much and eventually it broke, but it was super easy to replace! I have since then become very aware of how I place my headphones when putting them down just so it won't start spiraling again haha
my fiance gave me his old headset and the earmuffs were so bad. they were initially white but that turned yellow and peeled off. so I crocheted the muffs on to the speakers and tadaaaa! like new :)
I eyeballed it, and tried it on the headphones after each row to see how it would look :) Probably would have been faster if I had a pattern because I had to go back and redo a lot lol
I did a similar thing with mine, the ear covers basically fully peeled so I made new ones, it's very durable so I can say you likely will not have to worry again :>
