Fitting headphone pads generally involves removing the old ones and snapping the new ones into place, but here's a more detailed breakdown:
Steps for Replacing Headphone Pads:
- Remove the Old Pad: Grasp the side of the ear cushion and gently pull it up and outward. Be careful not to remove the material covering the speaker itself. The goal is to detach the old pad from the earcup.
- Identify the Mounting Flange: Look on the back of the new ear cushion. You should see a mounting flange (a lip or groove) designed to attach to the earcup.
- Align the Flange: Position the mounting flange of the new ear cushion over the rim of the earcup. Ensure it's aligned correctly, paying attention to any specific orientations (top, bottom, etc.).
- Snap the Pad into Place: Gently push on the edges of the cushion, working your way around, to snap the flange securely into the earcup. You should hear or feel a click as the pad locks into position. Ensure there are no gaps and the pad is firmly attached all the way around.
Important Considerations:
- Headphone Model: The specific method may vary slightly depending on the headphone model. Consult your headphone's manual or search online for instructions specific to your model if you're unsure.
- Types of Attachment: Some headphone pads use adhesive, while others use a clip or twist-lock mechanism. Identify the attachment type for your headphones before attempting removal or installation. Adhesive pads may require peeling off the old pad and carefully sticking the new pad in place.
- Gentle Pressure: Avoid using excessive force when removing or installing pads, as this could damage the headphones or the pads themselves.
