I've got a surround sound headset which needs a driver replacement. The problem is that they're firmly glued in. The surrounding plastic is ABS and I'm guessing the main body of the drivers probably is too.

So is there a particular solvent to loosen the glue that doesn't affect ABS? I'm assuming they are removable or else how would the manufacturer replace them under warranty?

And before you say it, yes I have tried to tentatively lever them out but they're not going to last long doing that. The drivers are really fragile and really firmly glued in.

Thanks for any suggestions.

They just give you a new headphone.


Well for this model they won't because it's no longer made. But, in general, do you really think they'd just swap out a brand new headset (cost £130 retail) rather than replace one broken driver?

yes.

because the actual cost is probably nearer £15
