Sony Pulse Elite Edition Headband Replacement

Introduction

A comfortable headband is essential for a comfortable headset. The headband bears most of your headset's weight, and by extension, so does the top of your head. A damaged or otherwise uncomfortable headband is a real headache.

If you need to replace the headband of your Sony Pulse Elite Edition Wireless Stereo Headset (99037), look no further. With the help of this guide, you can replace a worn, broken, or simply uncomfortable headband.

Maybe you stretched your headset too far, and the headband snapped, or perhaps you want to swap it out for a headband you find more comfortable. Whatever the reason, replacing the headband is easy with the help of this guide and the replacement headband of your choice.

Powering off your headset before you begin is recommended.

Repeat the process for the other rail.

Step 4 Slide Headband Off Rails

Gently pull the headband away from one of the speaker component groups, as if expanding it. Continue pulling until it is completely off the track.
Remove the white and red wires from inside the headband.
Be sure to keep the two speakers close together since they are still linked via the speaker wires.
Repeat this process for the other side.
