Introduction

This guide is for either replacing the receiver jack/plug or removing parts that have broken off inside the headphones from a plug. Please read it through and make sure you are comfortable with it before attempting the teardown.

    • Place the headphones down with ear cushions facing you

    • Cushions are held in by small tabs along the perimeter. Remove by hand

    • Pad is held in by two pieces of double-sided tape. You only need to peel back the left piece, as shown

    • Be careful to avoid tearing the pad

    • First, remove the two small philips screws securing the backplate to the body

    • Turn the headphones over and carefully wiggle the backplate away from the body. Use soft plastic tools if necessary to avoid scratching the plate

    • Remove the two small, shorter philips screws securing the board to the body

    • The board is now held in by vinyl tape (black) and two ribbon cables

    • If you are just removing broken plug pieces, do not disconnect these ribbon cables - be careful not to damage them! Instead, simply lift the board enough to poke tweezers or similar through the plug to dislodge broken bits

    • If replacing the plug, disconnect the ribbon cables (one is soldered in place) from the circuit board and replace the board

    Hi, thats exacrtly the problem I have (broken not functioning plug), but I can not find the spare part anywhere, can you help me ?

Conclusion

Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly - no surprises. Optionally, replace your ear cushions, pads, or double sided tape in the process.

This guide was also useful to push back the pins of the headphone jack, as the plug got loose with the Gaming mic attachment.

Does that work for a lose 2.5 mm plug that it’s not making correct contact?
