Introduction

This is a prerequisite-only guide! This guide is part of another procedure and is not meant to be used alone.

Tools

Step 1

Peel off both front side foam pads to uncover the speaker wires.

Step 2

Insert the pointed end of your spudger behind the square rubber spacer next to each headphone screw.
Gently pry the rubber spacers out of the head strap.
Be careful not to accidentally pry any of the speaker wires under the rubber spacer.

Step 3

Use the pointed end of your spudger to pry up and disconnect both the left and right headphone speaker wires.

Step 4

Use a T6 Torx screwdriver to remove the two 12.1 mm screws (one on each side) securing the head strap to the headset.
Use a T5 Torx screwdriver to remove the following screws securing the head strap to the headset:
Four 3.9 mm screws (two on each side)
Two 4.1 mm screws (one on each side)

You do not need to remove the four 3.9mm screws or the 4.1mm screw. They do not secure the strap to the headset. You only need to remove the two 12.1mm screws.
