Corsair HS80 Earpad Replacement

Introducción

With prolonged use and improper storage, the earpad cushions on a headset may detach from the earpad. These earpads have a unique shape, and buying replacement earpads may be expensive as they are only available on the Corsair website with $10 shipping. This guide will demonstrate how to fix the broken earpad.

Steps 4 to 7 uses strong adhesives that may result in skin irritation or bonded skin. Wear gloves or have a glue debonder ready.

Before beginning, set up the project in a well-ventilated area as adhesive fumes may irritate eyes and cause respiratory irritation.
