HyperX QuadCast S Pop Filter Replacement

Introduction

Pop filters help to minimize audio cutting out or loud popping noises. If your HyperX QuadCast S Microphone is experiencing these issues, you may need to replace your pop filter. The pop filter is located inside the microphone rather than on its exterior. The pop filter is secured by a layer of glue attached to a wire, so it is important to remember to apply glue to any replacement pop filter.

"Grab ahold of the tap-to-mute Sensor and pull it upwards in a clockwise motion."

This part is keyed. It literally cannot be pulled in any rotational motion...
