Introduction

(You might see tape on the headphone arches in photos. This is because my headphones have broken along this casing and while disassembling, it simplifies repair to keep that area fixed together.)

Note: This guide used to be for both ear pads but I decided to make it just for one and make the other it’s own guide to make all the guides for these headphones easier to read and work with.

What you need

Step 1

              Extend the Right Speaker
  • Extend the Right cup and fold the Left cup away via the headband .
  • This will help protect the other ear pad while you work on this one.

Step 2

              Unclip the Right Ear Pad
  • The pad is attached by 6 clips in a hexagonal pattern, shown by the arrows.
  • Starting from the top, insert an opening pick in between where the cup leather meets the plastic casing, push it in firmly, then twist it until you disengage the top clip.
  • Try not to damage or peel off the leather while doing this. It helps if you pry towards the speaker housing, not the leather cup.
  • Work round the back side, poking the pick in and twisting to disengage further clips until you can gently pull the cup away.
  • When re-assembling, make sure that the stitching line on the ear pad is facing the bottom.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
