Razer Kraken 7.1 Chroma: Ear cushion replacements for Razor Kraken 7.1 Chroma

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 09:11:53 -0700

Does anyone know where to get earpads with the slip-on thing on the back? Most the listings for replacement earpads has the buckle/ locking mechanism, very frustrating since my depreciated chroma 7.1 ear cushions have the slip-on sleeve thing and I have not been able to find suitable replacements that have the right backside or even the correct size for my headphones. Images of my headset for reference:

Logitech G533: Dongle creates speakers with G533's name

Sat, 28 Feb 2026 04:27:32 -0700

Whenever I plug in my dongle it creates a speaker and microphone within audio devices and nothing comes through the headset. Even G Hub doesn't recognize the headset as being on. The same thing happens if I connect the headset with the PC. I'm just really frustrated.

SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless: Arctis Pro Wireless – Bluetooth LED Flashes 10 Times, Won’t Turn On

Sun, 16 Nov 2025 03:10:04 -0700

Hi everyone,

I have an Arctis Pro Wireless (White) headset and the Bluetooth function suddenly stopped working.

Symptoms:

When I hold the Bluetooth button, the blue LED flashes 10 times, then shuts off.
It never enters pairing mode.
The headset itself works normally with the base station.
Firmware is fully updated through SteelSeries GG.
Factory reset did not help.
Bluetooth memory clear did not help.

Important note:

The headset fell to the ground right before the issue started.

Volume wheel info:

The volume wheel works up/down normally — and I know it does not click inward (normal for this model).

What I want to know:

Is this symptom caused by a damaged Bluetooth module?
Could it be a loose connector or antenna cable inside the right earcup after the fall?
Has anyone fixed this by reseating the BT board or replacing it?
Is there a known part name/number for the Bluetooth daughterboard?

If anyone has experience opening the right earcup or repairing this exact issue, please let me know what to check.

Thanks!

Astro A20: Bottom frame connector screw

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 12:01:28 -0700

All replacement information does not tell me what screws I need for the bottom frame that connects the earphone to the top of the headphones. It is located at the bottom of the adjustment slider. I cannot find anything on the Internet that tells me what screw to use. I can see from the right side of the headphone that they are a star screw

Kingston HyperX Cloud II: For gaming left hear from right and right side from left.

Sat, 08 Nov 2025 13:14:21 -0700

Well, I have to tell you that I have Kingston's HyperX Cloud II and among them I have to say that the headphones I have are fine. The sound etc. are all fine for me, but the problem arises when I am playing a game. The sound on the left side comes from the right side of the footstep and the sound on the right side comes from the left side.Tell me the solution to this problem so that I can fix it myself. Thank you.

SteelSeries Arctis Pro Plus GameDAC: My headset isn't playing sound when connected to the pc via GameDAC

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 07:13:48 -0700

Hi, when I connect my Arctis Nova Pro wired to my PC directly via the headphone jack, it works great. However, when I try to use the GameDAC with my PC, I can't hear anything at all. Everything in my sound menus has been cranked up to the maximum, and yet still, nothing.

I've tried changing the ports on my pc and yet still nothing, same goes for installing the SteelSeries engine and finicking with the settings over there. The GameDAC can change the settings on the headset; however, I believe it must be a setting that I have forgotten to turn on.

FYI, I received this headset today, it's brand new out of the box.

Logitech G432: Structural schematics & full assembly diagrams

Fri, 19 Sep 2025 03:58:39 -0700

The plastic mounting brackets that anchors the headset swivel earcups to the overhead strap on my headset has materially degraded to the point of fracture and self disassembly. If I could get an idea of the shape of these two objects, and perhaps anything internal I'm missing, I could put this back together myself.

I have a 3d printer, any Blender friendly models would be absolutely AWESOME!!!

Currently disassembling a pair of G430s to frankenstein for parts.

SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless: Trying to replace power button on PCB

Thu, 21 Aug 2025 17:01:34 -0700

The power button attached to the pcb is now working once in a blue moon. Instead of powering it off and charging the battery with the base station, I just charge it with a cable while the headset is still on. If anyone knows which two connections I can short to bypass messing with the power button for an hour or how to replace the power button entirely, I would be very grateful.

At the very least, I know the batteries work. I've tested them with a multimeter and they show proper voltage and last about 15 hours, and work without error when I get the headset to power on. I've also tested the wires that go from the hot-swappable battery pins to the pcb, and they are showing very similar voltage. I've also tried leaving the battery disconnected for about an hour and then plugging it back in and trying the button which worked once, but im not sure if that is a fluke or not. Nothing on the pcb looks broken or damaged either.

Hi, does anybody have a guide for opening up the left side of the arctis pro wireless. it feels like the contact for the mute button is loose, just shaking my head a little mutes or unmutes it. i sometimes have to press and hold the mute button just so i can speak into the mic.

For the record i have 0 experience in opening opening things up but im willing to learn and have a go at it

Fri, 16 May 2025 11:20:30 -0700

My headset is a Recon 70 in white and green, I painted it pink years ago. The wire that connects the speaker to the headset broke at the joint. I know i need to splice the wire and solder it back in place. What kind of wire do I need?
