Turtle Beach Ear Force XO Seven Microphone Windscreen Replacement

Introduction

The windscreen is designed to prevent dust and moisture from getting into the microphone. It is held onto the microphone by a single 0.4 cm long Phillips head screw attached by a mounting bracket. Due to its fragile design, the windscreen can easily be torn, but it can quickly be replaced with the help of this guide.
