Use this guide if the fabric on your headband has peeled and is sticking out from the seam between the parts (a common issue).

Slide the silicone overlay down with your finger to expose the 'teeth'.
-
Then, using a pry tool or a thin screwdriver, gently pry between the teeth slightly sideways and then downwards to release the plastic latch from the tooth.
-
Start in the middle and work your way towards the edges.
-
Make sure you are pulling on the plastic frame inside with the screwdriver, not the silicone case. Refer to the last picture to understand how it is assembled (red lines indicate the tooth).

Release the cable from the clamp

-
Unscrew the 8 screws on each side using the smallest Phillips screwdriver.
-
Now the main headband is free

For those who want to completely remove or replace the fabric from the headband: unscrew and remove the Sennheiser emblems.

-
-
Use contact glue to re-adhere the fabric to the frame where it has come unstuck.
-
Follow the adhesive's instructions, which typically involve applying a thin layer to both surfaces, waiting 3-5 minutes for them to dry (become non-tacky) without touching them, and then pressing them firmly together.
-
Cyanoacrylate (super glue) may also work, but it's much more aggressive and messy. If you need to re-glue the fabric or repeat the process later, it will be almost impossible to remove the super glue.

-
Assemble in reverse order.
-
Note that there are "R" and "L" markings on the headband and the silicone cover. In my case, however, the silicone cover was assembled the other way around; otherwise, the cable latch wouldn't have matched the curve of the cable.

Enjoy the brand-new-looking headband :)
