It's on the band part that touches your head. I'm not sure how difficult it is. I have already replaced the ear pads once too.

Perhaps it was unfair of them to ban asbestos considering all the people that suffered before it was banned.

MdMa7 on TCL 75" C7K 4K UHD Premium QD-Mini LED Google TV (2025) $2,018 + Delivery ($0 to Selected Areas) @ Appliance Central (Excl. TAS)

Seems like a decent deal. Looks like it delivers to all major mainland cities but does cost to get it to Perth.

A bit different because Costco really just breaks even on their products, pretty much all of their profit is in the memberships

Is it worth waiting for a possible sale for March/April next year or just bite the bullet at 1250?
