How I replaced the ear pads on my Cleer Enduro ANC headphones (when replacements were impossible to find)

explanation video

If your Cleer Enduro ANC ear pads are peeling, flaking or falling apart, this video shows you how I replaced them without buying new headphones.

In this step-by-step guide I:

• Remove the original ear pads

• Reuse the original plastic mounting frame

• Install replacement cushions

• Show the finished result

My headphones were still working perfectly, so replacing the pads was much cheaper than replacing the headphones.

If this video helped you, please consider liking the video and subscribing. It helps other Cleer Enduro ANC owners find this repair.

Who do I get to fix headphones?

2 Upvotes

My vintage k240s broke with the cable being mess up right where it plugs into the earpiece and it has to be in a specific place for the sound to work. Are there people out there that are good with this older niche tech that can fix/refurb it? Can you send headphones to custom cans?

More Ear pad mods-Grado SR80 & Yamaha RH-5Ma

The pads are the same identical ones which were a bit coarse when new but 2 mins of soaking in soap water and drying them softened them somewhat.

Alas both cables are fixed and on ear. My main gripes. These pads make them comfy.

The garden-hose Grado Cables are heavy and rubbery. The bright and energetic treble profile can be tamed with my old trusted iFi Micro iDSD Black Label dac amp.

And the Yamaha monitor headphones scale very well with Peace Equalizer. This is a vintage piece of gear!

Both are light and enjoyable for short listening sessions and not expensive!

Cheers!

2 year hiatus - It’s good to be back!

Post image
1 Upvotes

It’s been a minute! I’ve been browsing /r/headphones again after a 2 year hiatus and a lot has changed… but somehow is exactly the same.

Prior to my break, I had been running a successful headphone modding business - some of you probably remember! It ran for about 5 years, and then life happened. 2 kids - the second one disabled from birth - plus some good / bad / ugly at work meant I had 0 time for anything recreational.

2 years later and my daughter is in a better spot, and I’ve moved positions to something more relaxed on a day-to-day, so I’m using that time to get back into what I actually enjoy. Which includes running a small business apparently!

I mod all types of headphones, but focus on Beyerdynamics - 770, 880, 990, 1990, 900 pro X, etc to detach the cable and / or allow use of balanced cables. Most commonly it’s people who want to use any cable rather than the permanent, janky stock cable, but I do all sorts of fun projects that people bring to me. Always open for the chat. I won’t link my store page here cause it’s probably against this sub’s rules, but it’s easy to find if you’re interested.

I’ve also been using the same headphones and amp daily for the past 2 years - the Beyerdynamic T1 Gen 2 and JDS Labs Element 2. Who’s got recommendations on what headphones and amps I should catch up on?

JBL Quantum 910 - Need help reassembling the ANC and microphone mute buttons

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I recently bought a used JBL Quantum 910 Wireless headset.

The microphone mute button was physically stuck inside the headset, so I decided to disassemble the left earcup to fix it.

I managed to open the headset and access the internal circuit board. The good news is that both the microphone mute and ANC buttons work correctly when the board is outside its mounting position.

However, I'm having a really hard time putting the board back into its original position.

When I reassemble everything, the buttons become misaligned and stop working properly.

The headset itself works perfectly fine, including the audio and microphone. The only issue is the physical alignment of the ANC and mute buttons.

I've spent several hours trying to fix this, but I couldn't find any service manual, teardown guide, or video showing how to properly reinstall this board.

Has anyone disassembled a JBL Quantum 910 before?

I'm specifically looking for:

  • Pictures showing the correct position of the internal button circuit board.
  • Instructions on how to align the ANC and microphone mute buttons.
  • A service manual or reassembly video for this headset.

I've attached pictures of the internal components.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to damage this headset while trying to fix two buttons.

Thanks!

Repairing Beats Fit Pros

1 Upvotes

The silicone hook on one of my Beats Fit Pros broke off and I’m wondering if there’s any way to fix it. I looked on Amazon but could only find complete replacements that require you to unscrew the back part of the device but I only need to replace the silicone cover. I can see where I can peel off the remaining silicone while leaving the rest of the device in tact. Didn’t see anything on Apples’s website either and no store in my area. Any ideas?

How to achieve better overall fit for B&W PX7 S3?

1 Upvotes

Hi guys, can anybody recommend a way to make my headphones sit more snug on my head? I have long hair and the band on PX7 S3 doesn't have much grip it slides about quite a lot and they can easily fall off if I'm not careful, also wondering if I can somehow prove the clamp force on my head which is probably on the larger size (8¼-8½).

Razer Kraken Pro (2015) left earcup design overhaul with removable TRRS cable mod.

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

I've had this headset for over 10 years now and i'm keeping it alive part by part. I already had wrapped the headband in leather and he mic arm with shrink wrap.

But it was time for a bigger repair/mod because the cable had a break in it. So i thought "if im taking it apart anyways, i might as well re-design the entire cup while I'm at it."

and so I did.

I took inspiration from Capra audio's Knight and the modern Razer Kraken Pro (I think it's the V3 or V4 already?)

let me know what you think! I'm working on uploading the design to Printables as well. I eventually want to do a removable mic and do the right side cup as well

Brown earpads for the XM6?

2 Upvotes

Im looking for brown earpads for the XM6's. I have the black version and would like brown earpads for the aesthetics. I value ANC alot, so an improvement on that would be wonderful. Lastly, i feel like a few mm's of extra depts would prevent my ear from touching the back. Any recommendations?

Thanki!
