How to replace ear cushions on the Koss UR-20 headphone

In this tutorial I'll be demonstrating how to replace the ear cushions on a pair of Koss headphones, specifically the Koss UR-20. You can buy the cushions themselves directly from Koss. I'll also be detailing how I used a sock to cover the padding over the speaker that the replacement cushions do not cover.

WTF DO YOU DO TO YOUR HEADPHONES O.O

[thoughtshots]

@nemesisnick66 Yah, I know they were gross. I used them all day everyday at work for a few years.

@iy8686 nope, no effect at all.

Excellent video! Followed your directions and now my UR-20s are good as new. Thanks!!

Thanks for making this video. I probably wouldn't have been able to do this without it. It would be nice if you would show replacing the other side too, though. I had most of my trouble trying to get the cable-side back together while holding the headphone cable in the correct location and worrying about the wires inside.  To anyone about to do this, I suggest you start with the non-cable side so that you have some success and practice for the cable site.
