Step-by-Step: How to Install Premium XL Ear Pads on Bose Aviation Headsets

Step 1: Remove the old ear pad

Pinch the ear pad and pull it off. A flap on the back holds it in place.

Step 2: Remove the old foam

Take out the old foam mat or screen inside the ear cup.

Step 3: Install the new foam mat

Match the flat edge of the new foam mat to the flat edge inside the ear cup. Then tuck the foam ridges under the plastic rim and even it out.

Step 4: Line up the seam

Line up the bottom seam of the new pad with the bottom of the ear cup and hold it there with one hand.

Step 5: Tuck in the rim

Tuck the rim on the back of the pad in all the way around.

Tip: It may take a few minutes. Our pads are a little stretchier, which helps.

Step 6: Check the fit

Make sure nothing comes loose. Repeat on the other side.

Fly in comfort.

Why Upgrade Your Aviation Ear Pads?

Heat, sweat and hours of clamp pressure flatten the stock cushions, which hurts comfort and the seal.

Our Premium XL pads are 50% thicker than most OEM pads, with premium memory foam and inner perforated holes for air flow. Choose cooling gel, hybrid or protein leather.
