If this was a regular gauge wire like what you would use in a mouse then perhaps it wouldn’t have been destroyed in the first place. We should point out the overall size of the cables inside and how insanely thin the wiring is. Also, we will be de-soldering all of the pads to eject the old cabling. Anyhow, we’re going to remove the cabling by removing the two screws. I’m left with more questions than answers on this one. Perhaps this was something Corsair was thinking down the road on isolating the microphone portion from the audio? It would make sense, But why not insulate it further if they care so much about electrical radiation? In an ideal audio world, you would want to have these two grounds isolated so that your microphone cannot receive any interference from other electrical devices such as the speakers. Although we are a little confused as to why there’s a MIC_GND and AGND plane when even after removing these wires they are both connected on a continuity test. I have to give Kudos to corsair for properly marking what each of the pads does on the board making it very easy for us to wire it all up. Once again, similar to my M65 mouse repair. We just gently removed the tape to reveal what it is that we are playing with inside. The moment the speaker casing is released be careful to not use any force to pull it off as doing so will wreck the connection to your speaker wire due to the asinine way Corsair decided to perform cable management. These are standard plastic tapping screws similar to what is used on the PS3 controllers. Next, we will be taking a PH0-bit Phillips screwdriver and removing the array of screws holding the speaker as well as the outer housing in the arrow tabs below. This little step will save big on the wear and tear from popping them off. Our advice when repairing your headset is after you fix them wear them without the foam pads for a little while before committing. You’ll quickly find out the low-quality leather used by Corsair tears very easily. If you attempt to forcibly remove the headset by taking it off or by stretching the leather too far to wrap around the plastics on the inside. Especially if you receive a pair used just like these! After they are removed now would be a good time to hit them with soap and water to get them nice and clean. You can use your fingers to slowly pull up on the foam to remove however be careful. The first thing that we’re going to do is remove the foam pads which cover the speaker assembly.
