Introduction

The following tutorial will demonstrate how to replace ear cushions on a general pair of headphones that DO NOT require a keystock for access for removal or replacement of headphone ear padding.

NOTICE:

If implementing this process for different/similar headphones, please review their specific warranty/insurance policies and regard any extra tools required for access for earpad removal (Save these tools and pieces during disassembly for hassle-free re-assembly).It is best to have already acquired or purchased the correct replacement ear pads when beginning this procedure (different headphones will have different ear pads and availability is specific to each pair - using Google, search for the specific pair of headphone ear pads being replaced).

They are very high-quality and about the same quality, if not better, than the original pair!

What you need

Step 1

              Ear Pads

CAUTION: For safe-handling (preventing damage or dislocation of the wires or other components) rotate the earcups to their inverse position about ~ 180° degrees from resting position.

Step 2

Carefully peel the cushions off, closer to the seams, along the speaker’s outer edge.
Fully remove the ear pads without any yanking or excessive jerking motions.
Repeat for the other side’s ear pad.

Step 3

These replacement ear cushions appear to be high-quality, come with a warranty, and a set of instructions (as shown in the first image).
Also, “hear” is a quick comparison between the tattered/old ear cushions (left) and the new ear cushions (right).

Step 4

Place the new headphone cushions flush to each of the speakers’ edges (padded-side facing outward from speaker).
Align with proper orientation of side-lengths.

Step 5

Begin wrapping the ear cushions by securing the leather around the edges of each speaker. Insert the non-cushion side flaps into the allotted crevice.
Work around the edges of each speaker until complete.
Initial stretching for proper fitment may be required; however, carefully hold down the wrapped parts in place while pulling the free lip over the speaker edges - as shown in the second image.

Step 6

Finally, check around the ear pads to ensure they are completely wrapped and secure.
For any mistakes, misalignments, or loose ends, this process may be repeated or small corrections can be made (avoid tearing by removing ear pads completely for large adjustments).
