Installing an ear pad onto the cup can be tricky. Be patient and work slowly—it may take a couple tries.
To put an ear pad onto its cup:
With one hand, firmly hold an ear cup steady.
With your free hand, place the pad over the top of the cup, so the fabric flap slips over the cup's plastic lip.
Thread the rest of the flap over the lip, working your way around the entire cup. Gently stretch the pad as necessary.
Check the entire perimeter of the cup to make sure the ear pad is fully on. If any of the fabric flap is sticking out, try to push it over the lip or remove the ear pad and try again.
