Microsoft Surface Headphones Speaker Replacement

Introduction

The Microsoft Surface Headphones speaker allows the user to receive audio from the device and hear what one is playing through their phone/computer.

Failing audio quality is the most common indicator of faulty speakers, such as the audio sounding distorted, or cutting in and out. If only one side of the headphones produces sound, it is a clear indicator that specifically the speaker is what is messed up; if both are silent, it is more likely to be another component like the battery.

How can I get my turtle Beach to pair

How do I remove the speaker from the plastic housing? Is it glued in place? I desoldered the speaker unit and now I am trying to take out speaker from its housing.

I would also like to know this! replacing the speaker requires the plastic housing to be opened. I tried heating the housing with a hair dryer but no result....

I cut it in half down the side. Very long a tedious process. also makes it hard to get a tight seal for reassembly but with a little more patience than I had and a clamp to glue the pieces together could probably get a nice finish. I have a gap which causes a little weirdness for the ANC especially with wind.
