This guide shows how to close the earbuds again.
As the adhesives used set rather quickly it is recommended to read the whole guide first!

    • Clip the two halfs together to check that there isn't any old glue or wires in the way.

    • There should be absolutely no seam if you press them together slightly

    • Separate them again before continuing with the assembly.

  2. Closing the earbuds, Check mic cover: crwdns2935265:02crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdne2935265:0

    • The cover over one of the mics likes to come of. Make sure it's in the right place before going on with closing the earbuds.

  4. Closing the earbuds, Holder for the top half (optional): crwdns2935265:03crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdne2935265:0

    • While it is possible to apply glue while holding the top half it's recommended to put the top half on a stick (or scalpel) with some sticky puddy.

  5. Closing the earbuds, Apply B7000: crwdns2935265:04crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdne2935265:0

    • As the original adhesive for the pins is a flexible one it is recommended to use something similar like B7000 for them.

    • This makes future disassembly easier if needed.

    • Super glue can be used as well if this is not of concern or a fitting adhesive isn't available.

  6. Closing the earbuds, Apply super glue around the seam: crwdns2935265:05crwdnd2935265:01crwdnd2935265:01crwdne2935265:0

    • Put down a thin bead of super glue in the groove of the seam.

    • Check for the mic cover one last time.

    • Align the two half before quickly pressing them together.

    • Make sure to keep your fingers away from the seam as super glue might squeeze out.

    • Use a bit of pressure to make sure the seam is fully closed and hold it for 15s to get the glue time to set.
