- Separate the top strap from itself where the Velcro secures it.
- Peel back the Velcro securing the rear of the top strap.
- Feed the top strap out through the head strap to partially remove it.
- Feed the top strap through the clip near the front of headset to fully remove it.

- Use the point of your spudger to pry out the two rubber spacers next to the headphone screws.
- Be careful not to accidentally pry any of the speaker wires under the rubber spacer.
- Use the point of your spudger to pry up and disconnect both the left and right headphone speaker wires.
- Use a T6 Torx screwdriver to remove the two 12.1 mm screws (one on each side) securing the head strap to the headset.
- Use a T5 Torx screwdriver to remove the following screws securing the head strap to the headset:
- Four 3.9 mm screws (two on each side)
- Two 4.1 mm screws (one on each side)
- Remove the two plastic spacers underneath the previously removed Torx T6 screw.

- Insert an opening pick into the seam between the two halves of the outer shell.
- Slide the opening pick through the seam to dislodge the clips securing it to the headset.
- Only insert the opening pick as far as necessary. There are ribbon cables underneath the outer shell.
- Continue sliding the opening pick through each seam until all clips have been dislodged.
- Carefully slide each half of the outer shell off of the sensor array.
- Be careful not to snag any of the ribbon cables underneath.
- Use your fingers to gently peel the face rest cushion off of the headset.

- Set aside the thermal pad. You'll reuse it during reassembly.
- Use the point of a spudger to pry up and disconnect both of the headphone cables from the daughterboard.
- Pry as close to the head of the connector as possible, as you risk breaking off the wires if you pry further away.
