It's not as big of a deal to replace as it is in on the K240 due to the completely different earcup structure, but it certainly won't hurt to replace it. To get to it, you have to have the back of the earcups open like when going to the elastics. On the left and right side there will be a little tab right where the hinge is you can see from the sides, and you just gotta pry them inwards with a screwdriver to separate the two parts of the earcups. The wires will still be passing through the two sections, so be careful not to put too much strain on the wires when you have them apart. The replacement foam is just be a thin little 1/4" x 1/4" x 4" strip of foam curled up into a circle.
EDIT: Part number for K270 foam is 2123Z1101, listed in the service docs as "damper strip."

Should I replace this foam or what? How do I get into that part behind the driver? |
