How easy is it to remove, clean, and replace the ear pads?

I used the mesh ones to work out and those seemed harder to clean. I switched to the others and just wipe them after each workout. Easy to take off and swap.

The ear pads simply snap out from the base of the headphones and you can interchange them with the mesh or softer, leather-like pads.

They pop right off an on ... I take mine off after every couple of gym sessions or so an clean them....overall it's very easy!

I find it easy to remove the ear cups and replacing them. Cleaning is also easy, for me. I just rinse them under water and they're good to go.

Yes, easily. You just twist and remove one of the earpads. Two AAA batteries--must be the rechargeable kind, though.I should add that while this wasn't a problem with mine, one of the channels going bad was. I replaced the headphones with new ones, using the base unit from the remanufactured one, and haven't had a problem since.

Very easy. Unplug the unit, lift it off mount, take out the old pad and put in the new one. Reverse steps. I usually only change once a year before I start using the humidifier.

Yes, I have. You have to be very careful removing/loosening the speaker portion from the headset. This will allow you to slide the old cushions out and put the new cushions on. It's a pain in the arse but it's worth it once it's done.

You can try looking up ebay for individual parts or send an email to Audio Technica USA. I don't know if it's just me but customer service was exceptionally nice. They sent a replacement head rest a year after initial purchase. In the email I, included my address and the invoice order/# from Amazon as proof which i screen shot. I believe they may do the same for your ear pads or provide info on possible spares. Other than that, you may have to look up audiophile forums.

it is very easy .i appointed my wife to inspect my ear canal and she did it without any difficulty and verified what i suspected .it was blocked by earwax which she saw immediately and had no problem using this thing .what a time saving it was not having to go to a docter and we purchased the flushing tool to wash out the earwax . my hearing has returned to normal and saved money also . mr jan westerhof

I never cleaned or replaced them and used it for about four months fairly hard. I did not need it any more and sold it to a friend who uses it and still works great with origanl pads. It is a great product and would suggest it.

I also would like to know, my headphone pad is completly shredding...funny, the ear pads have lasted forever and they are available everywhere but I can't find anyone for the headband pad.....

There are instructions, but it's also pretty self evident. Pull on the old pads until they snap off. Inside, you'll see the wiring is covered with a piece of adhesive covering. Peel that off and replace it with the new one that comes with the pads. You might also want to clean the inside of the phones first with a q-tip and alcohol (or something) first. Then, just snap the new pads on. You'll see around the edges that there are little clasps. Once they're in you're all set. It's really easy.

I've had mine for three months now and have never had to change the pads. Only rinse them off once.

I actually just cut it with scissors. It doesn't look too bad but that was the only method I could think of so I could connect other headphones. I hope that helps.

Diego,It is all one piece. audio jack, and the hold switch which is next to the audio jack. You just need to release the small flip that holds down the ribbon and its contact points.If you haven't already, check out youtube on replacing set up.if you never done one, watch the clip, will give you the ins and outs and how to take part.I did mine with little problem. but thanks to the clip. also you need some small tools.One area you might do first is make sure you headphone/earbuds are good.I did mine and still had problems only to find out it was the head phones.hope this helps, contact me again if you need to.merry christmas.Joe Diego,It is all one piece. audio jack, and the hold switch which is next to the audio jack.

yes head pads are replaceable, several outlets on Amazon carries the replacement pads. But you can make these pads. I purchase large scouring pads at Lowe's or walmart, cut to size with scissors .. works great and cost less than $2.00

the simplest method for me... I put the plastic string on the bottom for each ear. I insert the one that matches the ear canal best. I cannot tell the color with the foamies on. When they are in the ear you then move the small lever up to increase the volume for both ears. Down decreased the volume. As you hold the earpiece in the hand the small end going into each ear curves forward. I don't imagine trying to place them in either ear the wrong way. When I remove the earpieces... I open the compartment all the way and carefully place them back in the back so as not to close the battery compartment. Not to worry about the battery falling out. Carry spares in the event you accidently close the compartment. the simplest method for me... I put the plastic string on the bottom for each ear. I insert the one that matches the ear canal best.

I did some DIY mods by cutting thin plywood to the shape of Shure 840 and taping it with industrial strength double sided tape. It's removable if you like but I feel it's lot more comfy than the original pads. I'm sure u can do it with any pads. The sounds actually improves a little.

Yes, it was really easy. I have one pair that I removed two links from. All you need is a thin flat head screw driver and a pair of pliers to remove the small pin, cut off two end links and then replace the small pin. They work great!

Easy to get replacements. Just look for a 2 inch foam earpad/ear pad replacement. Something like this: foam Pad 2-Inch ear cover for philips sony headphone 3pr
