How to Attach and Adjust the 109 PRO Headband for Comfort

Quick Answer

To attach and adjust the 109 PRO headband for comfort, first remove the old headband by sliding it off the metal frame, then slide the new headband on from the front, ensuring the logo faces outward, and adjust the tension by bending the metal frame slightly inward or outward.

Step-by-Step: Attach and Adjust the 109 PRO Headband

1. Remove the old headband: Hold the metal frame of the 109 PRO and slide the old headband off from either end. It is not glued, so it should come off with gentle pressure. Common mistake: pulling too hard can bend the metal frame. Slide slowly.
2. Position the new headband: Orient the new headband so the '109 PRO' logo engraving faces outward. Slide it onto the metal frame from the front, ensuring it sits evenly on both sides. Checkpoint: the headband should sit flush against the frame without twisting.
3. Adjust the tension for comfort: If the headband feels too loose, gently bend the metal frame inward (toward your head) in small increments. If too tight, bend it outward slightly. Test the fit after each adjustment. Do not over-bend; the metal frame is sturdy but can be permanently deformed with excessive force.
4. Final fit check: Wear the headphones for a few minutes. The headband should distribute pressure evenly across the top of your head without a single pressure point. Readjust if needed. If discomfort persists, consider pairing with a different ear pad for additional relief.
