    1. Left Ear Cup Removal, Remove the left ear cup: step 2, image 1 of 3 Left Ear Cup Removal, Remove the left ear cup: step 2, image 2 of 3 Left Ear Cup Removal, Remove the left ear cup: step 2, image 3 of 3

      • Removing the ear cup isn’t required, but can make the repair easier. You can leave the cup attached and remove it later if needed.

      • Insert a SIM eject tool, bit, or a small, straightened paperclip into the hole on the top edge of the right ear cup (labeled L).

      • Push down with your tool and pull the headband connector straight out of its socket.

      • The headband connector should slide out easily. If you're having trouble, reposition the tool and try again—you may need to angle the bit slightly.
