    • Use your thumb to depress the RIGHT ear pad near the long outer edge, creating a gap between the cushion and the frame.

    • Insert the flat end of a spudger into the gap you've created, between the edge of the cushion and the frame.

    • Pivot the spudger down to unclip the long edge of the ear pad.

    • When the first clip disconnects, you'll hear an audible clicking sound.

    • This may take a considerable amount of force. If the cushion won't click out of place, move your spudger to different points along the long edge.

    • When installing a replacement right ear pad:

    • Align the cushion over the speaker and press them firmly together to snap it into place.

    • Press around the entire edge of the cushion, making sure all the clips have engaged.

Conclusion

Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.

To reassemble your device, follow the above steps in reverse order.
