The ear pads condition of my old LCD-2 are getting worse everything day. I bought it 3 or 4 years ago but the fake leather on my Earpads are starting to fall off chucks by chucks.
So I just ordered some new pads and changed it. Changing the Audeze LCD headphones ear pads is pretty simple.
1. Order the Ear Pads
Order it on Audeze’s website
2. Install the Ear Pads
Peal off old ear pads
-
Remove the headband by unscrewing the extension rod and pop it out.
-
Remove the old ear pads simply but pealing the old ear pads out.
-
There maybe glue residue on the driver housing, peal it off. If you had hard time pealing it off, try these things.
- Use a knife to get between the plastic ring and driver housing.
- Use alcohol to soften the glue.
- Use hair dryer to soften the glue. Like this
Install new ear pads
- Make sure the driver housing surface is dry and clean.
- Peal off the back of the adhesive
- Make sure the seam of the leather is lined up with the screw.
- Make sure headphone’s ear pads are in the right orientation.
- Put the headphone back together.
Looks better then new!
Maybe it’s the placebo affect but the newer pads sounds better to my ears and provided a better seal with my head.
