Einleitung

A friend donated his P5s whose left channel had died (like mine). I was able to use his working right driver on the left side.

    • Remove the earpads from your P5s.

    • Removed driver in centre.

    • Each side uses three Phillips screws, which are covered in fabric. You can either gently scrape away the fabric in the areas indicated, or insert your driver directly. I did the former but it can bunch up the fabric.

    • This is the right side.

    • Gently flip each driver area to the side - it will still be connected to the headband with two soldered wires.

    • De-solder each wire to fully separate the driver area. (Already completed and driver removed in this step.)

    • The drivers are inconveniently glued in place, but can be relatively easily removed with some elbow grease.

    • I used an iOpener to soften the glue, along with a Jimmy and metal spudger to score the glue around the circumference.

    • Each driver area has a cutout section, as indicated, which will assist you with prying out the driver.

    • Try to work the driver out only by its sides. I pushed my metal spudger underneath and pried upward and damaged the driver grille.

    • Swap the working driver from one set to the other set and solder it in place.

    • Voila!

    Thanks great guide. Managed to confirm I've got the same fault in 5 minutes thanks to your guide. Unfortunately I've not got any friends with spare parts for my headphones ?

    @g0gz I did a cursory look online and didn’t see an obvious source for a new driver, perhaps you could source a used pair of P5s with the same issue?

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order and solder the new driver back in place.
