How to Get Replacement AirPods Max Ear Cushions and Change Them Out

[JosephAW]

Dan seemed to be distracted today. Hope all is well.

Actually I’m waiting for some 3rd party company to either provide $20 replacements or use Apple’s replacements muffs on some existing high end wired headsets maybe using some type of adaptor if needed or a 5 below cheap headsets compatible with Apple’s product.

I'll just have my butler do it, after he's done polishing the wheels on my MacPro.

I hope they release beats studio version with same functions as AirPod max. I thought this design would grow on me. But it’s just not.

Thank you for the tutorial! Im still struggling with opening the box. Could you please also include this step?

Well, in the video you'll see Dan rip open the box and dump the contents out, but the real way to do it is to slip open the top and then pull on the little tab to neatly ease the ear cushions out of the box.

I dunno why everyone is wetting themselves over this, do people not know it's easy to replace the cushions on most expensive headphones? The only difference is Apple used Magnets, instead of using the annoying plastic tabs. That said $70 for cushions..... no thanks, I'd just buy ones from China for $10.

Looks like they fit either way, aside from the inner "hole"? In my opinion, that's poor design. They should have a groove or something to prevent them from being put on the wrong way... to make it easier for blind users to install them correctly.

Can blind users not feel the hole?
