      • 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.

      • Repeat around perimeter of ear pad until it is loose.

      • 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.
