Turtle Beach Ear Force XO Seven Speaker Cone Replacement

Inleiding

The speaker cone produces the sound that the user experiences. If it is damaged, users may experience static, reduced range of sound, or complete loss of sound.

Below are the costs of materials and some extra information:

Soldering Station: One of these for beginners will run anywhere from about $20 to $40. Each one is slightly different so I would recommend reading the description of one before you buy it. This will be used during the very last step and will help the wires re-solder onto the new speaker cone.

Phillips #0 Screw Driver: The screw driver will run you about $6, but just the bit will cost you about $3. The head of the screwdriver looks like a star with four points. This will be used to help remove the screws holding the front plate together.

T5 Torx Screw Driver: This screw driver costs $2.99. This screw driver has no extra sides at the end of the tip and is more or less just a point.

Speaker cone: According to amazon.com this will cost about $8 to $10. The one we are using is black, but color will vary depending on which one you buy.

WARNING: When working on the internal parts of the headphones, proceed with caution. Internal parts of the headphones are delicate and can be easily damaged or lost.

Stap 4

When removing the speaker cone plate, be careful not to drop it or put stress on the wires as they are very delicate.
Remove the speaker cone plate on a flat surface to prevent unnecessary stress on the wires.
The speaker cone is attached to the front plate. To replace, unsolder the wires from the two connection points.
