It was really a struggle to get the new earpads on! I wrote to the Marshall customer support and they send me a video tutorial: in the video they just snap in, but this was not my case (good note, the customer support replied in a minute and was very helpful). For me the key was to get on and off the old earpads a few times. At the end I was able to get on one of the new ones quite easily. The other one kept me busy for a really long time, but at the end it snapped in. So don't lose hope!
I slept with mine on. 😭 The stitching got ruined on my left ear cushion. I'm planning on buying a replacement. I really thought the cushions can't be changed. Thank you for the tutorial on how to replace them. Also glad that replacement ear cushions are available in my local Marshall stores.
The cushion issue was more a fun, solvable thing compared to the skull-piercing headband. That thing combined with the weight of the headphones as a whole gives me stabbing-piercing pain on the top of my head, having to reposition them every 20 to 30 minutes.
@@santino_jo I've noticed the "L" and "R" plates on the inner side of the headband have hexagonal screws, so I think it might be removable. Because of sweat, the screws in my headphones corroded before I even tried to dismount the headband. You can start from there and let us know if you succeed. I haven't seen any replacement sold by Marshall on their website, but you could buy pieces of discarded leather (those are pretty cheap and good quality, at least here in Spain) and make a copy of the damaged original headband synthetic leather and stitch it in place as if it was the original piece. I'd recommend pigskin leather for it is thin, flexible and has pores that make it quite breathable.
Thank you for the help. Also WTF Marshall... 1st one took me 20mins, almost ripped the new cushion apart. 2nd one took me 15sec. In the end I held the cushion flat in the one hand and pretty much wiggled it around with slight pressure on more or less all clipping points at the same time, holding the shell in the other hand (didn't lay it on the table, that didn't work for me). Don't try to attach one side first and then the opposite. If you're still struggling: Don't give up, eventually you're gonne make it, too! 💪
After struggling for around 30 Min to get new earpads on: First I clipped in two on the side by kind of wiggling them around. Then I pushed down the other clips circlewise one after the other. The last two I only got pushed down by pushing directly onto the clip with my fingernail through the cushion. Be careful to push on the clip of the earpad and not on the plastic ring of the headphones which feels similar though the cushion. That's how I did it, maybe it helps someone
If you're referring to the guitar pick, I don't think they would include one with the spare cushions. You can buy a thin guitar pick for less than 1 euro (*￣∇￣)ノ
This has to be the most shitty way of changing the earpads someone could have invented. I don't understand why the brands do this, only if they want us to throw the headphones away and buy new ones... I don't get why they don't create an easy way to change this...
I think the design ended up being like this because it was the best one they could come up with. - It's very secure and the cushions would never fall. - Not dependent on magnets to stay on. - Very lightweight, considering how heavy the headphones components already are. Besides that, I also think they came up with this solution/design and -by trying it countless times- they got the impression consumers would figure it out on their own. That's why I put a comment on the TH-cam ad video product asking why they didn't release an ear cushion tutorial. They deleted my comment so I did a Bender and made ny own tutorials. hehe
Once you know how it works it's a 2 min job, I don't think anyone in their right mind would consider that a too hard job to do and buy a new headset instead...
thank YOU VERY MUCH!!!! why it is so hard as hell to attach them back

I think the pair was 8$, fortunately. My cushions look new still, but I'm thinking on getting a backup pair
@@rlarizbeascoa I probably should get 2 pairs since they aren't that expensive.
They guy that designed this deserves a special place in hell 😅

What worked for me was pushing down all the bits down with the flat end of a pencil. I just went round in circles until all of them clicked in place

Thanks I was really scared of breaking them 😂
Спасибо! Открывачку взял с Lego для разъединения деталей)))
I don’t have that plastic thing…… it’s not even included in the replacement cushion I just bought, any idea ?

Use anything plastic or your fingers
These are very expensive headphones. Monitor 4 so much easier to repair pads held with magnets..crazy.
А как надеть? Снял без проблем...
hallo danke
Merci mon ptit crumble à la banane
