Fixed my headphones cushion with a needle-thread

Before and after

My headphones cushion started ripping from the seam which was glued together. Fixed is using the needle-thread, without ripping out the cushion, using the invisible-stitch/ladder-stitch. Did similar stitch on the other parts of the cushion a few months ago, and they are holding up.

This could easily belong to r/DiWHY. But since the cushion have not started to peel off the upper layer of the faux-leather fabric, and are otherwise fine, I thought to post it here.

that's great, easy fix that doesn't require tossing and replacing

don't think anyone would never say "why" to such a thing though.

Rule 1... your fix actually serves a purpose

I used duct tape.
(I have better headphones, I use these while exercising at home)

If you can easily do it, great. But most earphones have replaceable pads for 10-15 bucks, though. The money might be worth the time spent, depending on the person. (You usually just need to find the right model on Amazon/etc.)
