Replacing the ear cushions | QuietComfort® 35 II Gaming Headset
Snap the edges of the earcup cushions on to the earcups.
On the inside rim of the earcup, there are small tabs. Slide the edges of the earcup cushions under each of these tabs, then press all the way around the edges to snap the cushions in place.
Purchasing, removing, and replacing the ear cushions
- The black color and silver color ear cushions for the QuietComfort 35 and QuietComfort 35 II headphones can be purchased on the QuietComfort 35 Headphones Ear Cushion Kit page
- Ear cushions for limited edition color QuietComfort 35 II headphones are no longer available though other, similar ear cushion colors for newer headphones are compatible and available on the QuietComfort 45 Headphones Ear Cushion Kit page as well as the QuietComfort Headphones Ear Cushion Kit page
- Bose ear cushion kits include a pair of the "L" and "R"-marked fabrics, called scrims, which may be replaced if the ones in the earcups are dirty or worn. If the scrims need replacing, it should be done prior to the installation of new cushions. It is normal for the scrims to not appear flat, and to be at angle that is not parallel to the earcup opening.
- A video on replacing the cushions is available on our Bose Product Support YouTube channel.
- Remove the cushion by carefully pulling it away from the earcup. The rigid mounting flange on the base of the cushion must be completely removed from under the small tabs in the earcup.
- Position the cushion so its oval orientation matches the shape of the earcup.
- Begin attaching the new cushion by sliding the mounting flange under one of the small tabs.
- Continue by pressing the edge of mounting flange against the earcup until it snaps in place under the remaining tabs. Slightly pulling the cushion toward the center of the earcup can help in snapping it into place.
- Once the entire perimeter of the cushion has been snapped into place, ensure all ten tabs can be seen above the mounting flange. Proper cushion installation under all the tabs ensures a good seal for optimal audio and noise-cancelling performance.
- Repeat these steps for the other cushion.
