Shipping & FAQ

First step is to remove your earpads. Place your finger under inside of pad and tug up. That side of the pad will snap loose. Turn phones around and repeat on the other side and top and bottom until pad is free. There will also be a thin piece of foam that goes between the ear pad and the driver housing, usually it will come out with the ear pad. If not, pull it out and repeat for opposite all steps for other ear pad.

Next it is time to remove the stock screens. Locate edge of screen (red lines) and place spoon under the lip. Gently pry up until screen is loose and remove. It is very easy.

Now that your screens and pads are off, the woodies can be installed. The woodies have three indentations on the bottom lip. The half rectangles in red at the bottom of each pic need to line up with each other. You will be inserting the woody into the plastic lip that the screen fit over. The red circles in the left picture show the pre drilled pilot holes that you will be screwing into.

Once both woodies are on and you've decided on damping or not, you can screw the woodies on with the provided screws.

The woodies have four holes pre drilled but you will only be using two screws per woody. If you feel the need to use four per side, take a screw to a hardware store for matching, and buy another four. There are four holes in the driver housing, two are shown below in red. The other two holes are opposite, if you'd rather use those. Use one upper hole and the other side lower.

If your cups aren't fully cured, I like to use a cotton rag to hold the cup as to not "burn in" a finger print. Cups take about 5 days from when me shipping to cure enough not to burn in. Do not tighten a single screw only, tighten each a little until both are starting to feel tight. Do not over tighten!

Damping… You have a choice to dampen the interior of the cups or leave them as received. If not damped, you will get reflecting sound waves which may or may not be desirable to you. I personally like damping behind the driver only, while leaving the ends of the cups alone. Stick with the slightly deeper middle circle when damping using cotton, dynamat, foam, blu-tack or other. It's really up to you and experimenting is part of the fun. Just don't over tighten your screws. If you do strip a hole, cut some tooth picks with scissors so they fit in holes and put in some wood glue then let dry.

Once both woodies are installed, insert the thin foam back into the side you just tightened the screws or replace it with sound transparent cloth (some use Nylons). Insert pad and firmly push down around the entire pad to snap it back in. If you have a question on installation, don't hesitate to email for an answer. Please enjoy your woody!
