    • Using the plastic opening tools, gently pry the speaker from the headphone's base.

    • There will be some tearing involved, but this is necessary to remove the original cushion.

    • The cushion is bonded to the headphones with a circular adhesive strip. If you plan on reusing the cushion, try to keep the adhesive attached to the cushion during removal. This way the cushion can be easily re-attached to the headphones after repair.
