The tabs need to be inserted 180 degrees to how you did them. So the slope matches the curve of the piece, and the little notches face outwards towards the meta earcup holder. I just opened one side, forgot which way, then checked the other side to confirm. Also if anyone found they got slimey/waxey from the velvet finish going off, I just cleaned these with pure alcohol and a toothbrush, which works fine. You do loose the markings though.
Thanks for pointing it out, I've figured out that something wasn't correct,when I saw a gap between the two plastic pieces. In fact I had mounted it like in the video.
That is what I thought - I am replacing headband and earcushions, and putting the plastic side covers back is driving me crazy. When I think i got the small plastic tabs correctly seated so i can actually put the two plastic parts together nicely - then I can't properly place the plastic slider on the metal piece - it just doesn't fit right, its kinda sideways. When it fits nicely - then i can't close the plastic parts nicely - there is a little gap. Whoever designed this didn't want people to fix this by themsleves obviously. Terrible design. Won't be buying these again even though I am happy with the sound, just for this very reason. And I got two more heafphones to fix like this...(not sure how terrible are other designs though :D)
Thank you so much , i bought logitech pro x cushions + headband for my hyperx cloud core i didnt know you need to soder to remove the handband so when i decided to put it back i couldnt it took me over 1h until i found your vid it really saved me from madness , (4th time putting it back and still its not perfect like the other side) the side i didnt remove
To anyone who opened their headset, only for these two little pieces of shit to pop out, and then watched this guy fumble around for 20 minutes, most of it off-camera. The correct way they need to go in: Sloped edge toward the inside of the headset (screw side of the plastic cover) and following the slope of the plastic piece. The little plastic lip needs to point toward the ear cup and rest in the gap for the headband going towards the ear cup. I recommend first putting the plastic pieces in the covers and testing to make sure the covers go together perfectly with no force required before proceeding to fit it to the headband to ensure you have them oriented correctly. It's easy to break the plastic covers if you try to force it together or tighten the screws when it's not properly assembled.
Been here, did that too. You put those bullsh** plastic parts upside-down. This tiny dongle should go to the bottom, while curves aligns with the chassis. If swapped it still do its job, but it's way harder to assemble the cover. TBH - the design of these covers is absolute dogsh**. It cracks over time, you have to glue it, and it's hell to assemble it back. Clearly designed to make it un-repairable.
I took apart the top to make it easier on myself to change the cover, the little plastic pieces came together whenever I took apart the cover. Should I snap the plastic piece in half?
@@RaiJK3 just looking to get some of these covers because one of mine is apparently broken and i dont even understand how but £16 seems like a lot for 1 plastic cover, did you get them cheaper?
I’m literally dying I’ve spent two hours trying to put it back, but for some reason it won’t close properly as if there was something that inhibits its tight closing If I dont make it tomorrow I’m jumping from the roof
Tambien se te rompio el plastico? o solo se te safo? a mi ya se me crackeo el plastico izquierdo, y el derecho de la nada se rompio mientras tenia la diadema puesta, y se partio en dos, sabes donde conseguir el plastico?

Thanks! You just saved me like 20 min of my time
Very helpful, I figured something wasn't right when I still had a gap on the lower part of the cover.

Should have read this comment - took me 20 min to get it. Those sneaky grooves are a trap
Only video i could find on this specific repair, even though it has to be one of the most COMMON! issues.
Thank you! Finally a tutorial where I can actually see the pieces and not the person's fingers 😂
You're sarcastic right?
@@chun_lisfii3596 no, he genuinely helped me

Recently cleaned my headset and those 2 tabs came out so was confuse on where they're supposed to be placed. Thanks for this!

Holy fuck. The tabs should be placed the other way. I tried your method so many times. Going insane over here
You're the best
Thank you so much! It's almost impossible to put the plastic back on. Terrible design
thank you!!! It confused me a long time!
mine just broke into pieces are they sell it?
