MaxJ345Hello! There are removable plastic rings that the fabric and padding slip over. On pre-production samples, the fabric is not glued to the removable ring. But, if the fabric is glued to the removable plastic ring when you get them- you can use a cotton swab (Q-Tip) and some rubbing alcohol to help you remove the glue if you need to.
CEE_TEEThank you for the reply! And where would I look to find leather (or leather-like) pads for these headphones? Would they only be sold by HiFiMAN?
