Introduction

A sign as to if the replacement is necessary is a background hissing sound or an overall change in quality of the onboard audio.

What you need

Step 1

              Ear Cushions
  • Use your hand to firmly grasp the cushion and remove it from the speaker.
  • Repeat the process for the other side if needed.
  • The best place to grip it is where there is a tab sticking out. The tab will make it easier to remove.
  • When reassembling, note the curvature of the cushion to determine whether it’s the left or the right cushion.
