Step 3Defender dismemberment
Probably as a direct result of their being so cheap, these ear defenders were an absolute joy to dismantle. There was not a single drop of glue or any sort of threaded attachment used in their construction, everything was press fit. The anatomy of my ear defenders (YMMV) was:
- Headband
- Plastic "cups", attached to headband by press-fit rubbery things
- Foam insert
- Plastic retaining ring to hold foam in
- Padded ring
Dismantling them just required removing the press fit components (ie. all of them). If yours are slightly more up market there may be a bit more to this step but they should still come apart. The foam shouldn't need much modification unless it's the rigid stuff used in shooting ear defenders.
