How to Change Those Ear Pads?

Updated

Headphone ear pads are a bit like socks: they wear out with use, especially if you've been listening to all of Valco's podcasts, family gatherings, and dog barking remixes with them. But don't worry, changing them is easier than setting your coffee maker's clock!

Here's how it works: Grab the ear pad like it's the last pastry on the coffee table and twist it counter-clockwise. Click! The old ear pad comes off effortlessly – no brute force needed, just a touch of finesse and a dash of patience.

Then, take your fresh new ear pad, place it in position, and twist it clockwise. When you hear that familiar and reassuring click, you'll know the ear pad is right at home.

And there you have it – your headphones look and feel brand new again!

If these instructions sound tricky on paper, don't fret. Below is a tutorial video where we demonstrate the entire process in practice. The video features VMK25 headphones, but the same principle applies to the VMK20 model.
