1.
To remove your ear pads simply position your blunt knife in-between the ear cup and the pad and pry in the direction away from the ear pad. On this model there is a sensor within the left ear cup. In order to be mindful of this I suggest you start on the left ear cup and pry around but not at the location of the sensor.
2.
Complete this step on both sides and now you're ready to apply your replacement set of ear pads.
3.
Start again with your left ear cup so that you're sure to be mindful of the sensor. It's obvious which side is the left ear pad and which way is up because of the gap for the sensor.Position this in place and now apply pressure over the position of the hooks. Once you've worked your way around, check that they have been secured in place by pulling at the replacement pad.
4.
Now as you prepare to replace your right ear pad, you will have to identify which side is the top & which is bottom – you can do this by identifying which side has the attachments in a flat straight line rather than in an oval shape. The flat side is for the bottom so I would suggest starting here and working your way round from there.
5.
Again pull at your ear pad to make sure all the hooks are secured and once you're sure that they are, that's the repair complete.
