Step-by-Step: How to Replace the Jabra Elite 85H Ear Pads

Step 1: Remove the old ear pad

Pinch the ear pad firmly and pull it away from the ear cup. Small plastic clips hold it in place, so it will unsnap as you pull.

Step 2: Remove the old foam

Peel off the old foam that is stuck to the inside of the ear cup. Scrape off whatever is left over and clean the surface as well as you can.

Step 3: Peel the backing off the new foam

The new foam has 3M double-sided tape on the back. Peel off the backing.

Tip: The backing can be a little tricky to get started. Take your time.

Step 4: Place the new foam

Set the foam piece over the driver, then press down firmly to make sure it is secure.

Step 5: Snap in the new ear pad

Line up the new ear cushion with the ear cup and apply pressure to snap it in. You may hear a click as the clips lock into place. Repeat on the other side.

Bring the comfort back to your Elite 85H.

Why Do Jabra Elite 85H Ear Pads Wear Out?

Ear pads take heat, sweat and skin oils every time you wear your headset. Over time the covering cracks and peels and the foam flattens. That’s normal wear, not a defect.

A new set of memory foam cushions brings back the comfort and sound isolation for a fraction of the cost of a new headset.
