Introduction

Headphone cushions can get worn down and broken with use, which makes using them much less comfortable. Buying a new pair is expensive and wasteful, so fortunately depending on the brand it can be replaced without too much effort. This guide will go over how to replace the headphone cushions for the Sony WH-XB910N Headphones. It will require new cushions and a pry tool (often sold with the cushions or possibly separately).

    • Insert the prying tool between the left cushion and the plastic.

    • This guide will be starting with the left side of the headphones, but the order doesn’t really matter.

    • Pry the cushion apart from the plastic. You will hear a small click as the cushions become unclipped.

    • Work your way around the cushion until the cushion is completely detached.

    • There will be some bumps around the lining that may prevent you from sliding the prying tool around the cushion. Do not force your way through them; instead re-insert the tool past the point and work from there.

    • Repeat the previous step with the right side cushion.

    • Insert the prying tool and use it to unclip the cushion.

    • Line the tabs on the replacement cushion up with the slots in the left side of the headphones.

    • Both the replacement cushions are the same, so don’t worry about trying to figure out which one is which.

    • Place the cushion, making sure to keep the tabs lined up.

    • Push down on the cushions to connect them into place.

    • Make sure to apply pressure around the whole cushion.

    • You should hear clicks when it connects.

    • Lightly tug on the cushions to make sure that they’re secure.

    • Don’t pull too hard; if any of the tabs didn’t connect it will be obvious (see the second picture).

    • Make sure to check both the left and right side, and to check the entire cushion.

    • If anywhere isn’t secure, push down on it again like in Step 5.

    • Once both replacement cushions are secure, the fix is complete.

Conclusion

Having completed this replacement you can now continuing listening to your favorite music with the Sony WH-XB910N Headphones.
