Bose On-Ear headphones Ear Cushion Replacement

Einleitung

These are Bose On-Ear headphones that I had previously repaired for some other issues. This time the left ear cushion got tore off. Replacement cushions were bought online for less that $10 USD and since it is a Bose, I figured I could spend that money. The replacement is straight forward and does not require any tools etc.

Since the ear cushion was already torn off on this one, simply clean the mating surfaces from all debris left by the old ear cushion
All left over foam and adhesive tape needs to be removed. This will ensure a proper fit.
Here is a look at the back of the replacement cushion.

Position the cushion so that the orientation aligns the two holes with the two pins on the headphones.
Place the new ear cushion on the headphones ensuring the holes and pins are lined up.
A simple squeeze on the ear cushion will snap the plastic to the headphones.
