Introduction
What you need
Step 1
Release the plastic clips
- Before beginning any repairs, turn off your headphones.
- The earcup cushions of the Sony WH-1000XM3 are held in place by small plastic clips and it’s the same removal procedure for both, the left and the right cushion.
- In case you want to replace the battery you’re required to remove the RIGHT earcup cushion.
- Insert a spudger into the gap between the earcup cushion and the earcup frame.
- A screwdriver or a flat pencil will also do the job but might scratch your headphone housing or damage the cushions.
- Pry up the earcup cushion by tilting the spudger downwards to release the plastic clips.
- Repeat the previous step around the perimeter of the earcup cushion to release the remaining clips.
