Introduction

The Microsoft Surface Headphones speaker allows the user to receive audio from the device and hear what one is playing through their phone/computer.

Failing audio quality is the most common indicator of faulty speakers, such as the audio sounding distorted, or cutting in and out. If only one side of the headphones produces sound, it is a clear indicator that specifically the speaker is what is messed up; if both are silent, it is more likely to be another component like the battery.

    • Firmly grasp the ear cushions, and rotate them counterclockwise about 45 degrees, or until you hear a "click."

    • Be careful not to use excessive force during rotation.

    • Remove the six 2.6mm screws with a Phillips #00 screwdriver, and gently lift the speaker housings away.

    • If only one of the speakers is malfunctioning, only remove the screws on the affected side, and leave the functional speaker intact.

    • Desolder the speaker's motherboard connections.

    • Desoldering and soldering are delicate procedures, and there is a potential for device damage.

How can I get my turtle Beach to pair

Miguel Garcia -

How do I remove the speaker from the plastic housing? Is it glued in place? I desoldered the speaker unit and now I am trying to take out speaker from its housing.

Stephen Hyland -

I would also like to know this! replacing the speaker requires the plastic housing to be opened. I tried heating the housing with a hair dryer but no result....

I cut it in half down the side. Very long a tedious process. also makes it hard to get a tight seal for reassembly but with a little more patience than I had and a clamp to glue the pieces together could probably get a nice finish. I have a gap which causes a little weirdness for the ANC especially with wind.

Where do you get replacement speaker

marilyn -

For the Surface 2 it's T6H screws, otherwise this is correct to dismantle and put them together again.

(Unfortunately I could not find any problem I could solve. My left earpiece remains silent)
