Introduction

If your Razer BlackShark V2 is producing choppy, interrupted, or no audio, your headset’s speaker(s) may be damaged (to confirm diagnoses & solutions, see Razer Blackshark V2 Troubleshooting Page, "Audio Cutting Out" or “No Audio at All”). This guide will assist you in the replacement of this component.. Be sure to be mindful of which layers of the headset assembly you're taking apart and that you don't adversely damage the holds, small wires, ear cushions, ear cushions’ rubber linings or plastic ridges, or headset itself when applying pressure.

What you need

Tools

Phillips #1 Screwdriver

Step 1 Ear Cushion

Step 2

Scoop your middle and ring finger underneath the top or bottom inner portion of the ear cushion.
You should feel a hard plastic ridge.
Pull from the hard plastic ridge, being sure not to pull from the soft cushion.
Slowly apply pressure to prevent damage.

Step 4

Once the cushion is removed, make sure the hard plastic base with the clips is attached to it.
If you are replacing both ear cushions, repeat Steps 1-4 for the other side. Then, insert the new ear cushions by lining up the clips in their respective holes and applying even pressure until they audibly click.

Step 7

After disconnecting the speaker from the headset, it is still connected by the wires that power the speaker itself.
With heat or with a sharp tool, remove the glue around the wires that connect the speaker to the headset.
Using the new speaker, you can reattach the wires soldering them in with existing glue.
If replacing internal components and NOT the speaker, you can do so without severing any wire connections; operate carefully to not sever them unnecessarily!
