Replacing Beyerdynamic Custom Street headphones' old earpads with non-official earpads!
Please make sure you buy replacement earpads that will fit to your headphones. To give an idea, for Custom Street headphones, speakers are approximately 7cm wide in diameter.

Gather your headphones, the replacement earpads and your tools on a clean surface.
-

-
Use the screwdriver to remove the old earpads. It should be easy to take it off: the earpads are just clipped on the headphones.
-
Don't force it: gently bend the screwdriver to unclip.

-
Solid plastic rings are glued inside the old earpads. That's the part that clips on the headphones so we need to pull them out and get them.
-
Using the screwdriver and your hands should be enough to take the plastic rings off. Don't be shy to tear apart the glued parts: it will be thrown away.

-
Use your hands and find your way to insert the plastic rings in your replacement earpads without ripping everything off. In my case, the replacement earpads looked a bit too little compared to the rings, but the rings eventually fitted in the new earpads.

-
-
In my case, the non-official replacement earpads were not perfectly sized: the inner edge of the plastic ring is covered, hence it won't clip on the headphones. We need to cut off this extra material.
-
If in your case the inner edge of the plastic ring is already clear and not covered by the new earpads like shown in the last picture, just skip this step.
-
If the inner edge of the plastic ring is covered, use scissors to cut the extra material. Proceed with caution: cutting too much material might weaken your new earpads and reduce their durability. Just cut the minimum amount of material to clear the inner edge of the ring.
-
-
-
Place your replacement earpads on top of the speakers. Gently press towards the ground: the earpad should just clip on like a charm!
-
Press on all sides of the rings to make sure the new earpads are perfectly clipped.

Congrats for replacing your old earpads!
