Introduction
Below are the costs of materials and some extra information:
Soldering Station: One of these for beginners will run anywhere from about $20 to $40. Each one is slightly different so I would recommend reading the description of one before you buy it. This will be used during the very last step and will help the wires re-solder onto the new speaker cone.
Phillips #0 Screw Driver: The screw driver will run you about $6, but just the bit will cost you about $3. The head of the screwdriver looks like a star with four points. This will be used to help remove the screws holding the front plate together.
T5 Torx Screw Driver: This screw driver costs $2.99. This screw driver has no extra sides at the end of the tip and is more or less just a point.
Speaker cone: According to amazon.com this will cost about $8 to $10. The one we are using is black, but color will vary depending on which one you buy.
WARNING: When working on the internal parts of the headphones, proceed with caution. Internal parts of the headphones are delicate and can be easily damaged or lost.
What you need
Step 1
Ear Pad
- Begin by placing your thumb on the plastic edge around the ear pad.
- Get a good grip around the ear pad and gently separate it from the headset.

Step 3
Speaker Cone

- To avoid losing small screws, place them in a container.

- Remove the speaker cone plate on a flat surface to prevent unnecessary stress on the wires.
- The speaker cone is attached to the front plate. To replace, unsolder the wires from the two connection points.
