Headset Repair

[skippydiesel]

David Clark HS - Needs new "Dome"/ear cup - ordered.

 

Cant believe how thin/flimsy the cup is where the mike boom is attached - like an egg shell only not so strong.

 

 

Need to come up with absolutely safe way of removing the silver/metal  retainers on wiring (see photo).

 

Suggestions, preferably from those with experince, welcome.😈

Best to shell out for a Zulu set, 3 or Delta.  3's are magnesium very robust.  

 

They are worth the money.

A lot of plastics go brittle with age and sun exposure. Nev

I just bought a set of refurbished Bose a 10s for 800. Fantastic compared to my DC's. Wish I could spare 2000 for new ones . Maybe down the track.

I couldn't here the CFI properly with the DC's now I hear him loud and clear.

I've had my DC ANRs for, must be over 20 years.. Never had a problem with them.. Dome seems pretty sturdy. Though they are clumpy..

I have done this by gently squeezing across the crimps with pliers which have curved jaws to slightly open the crimps, enough to insert a very fine blade screwdriver and twist the crimps open. Side cuttters can then cut the band to remove it.

Cable ties do an equivalent job when re-assembling.

 

There’s your suggestion!!!

My DC's are not anr, that's why the Bose is better than them.
