Reattaching the on-ear headphones to the headset band
You can reattach the on-ear headphones if you've used your own earphones with
VIVE Cosmos.
Before attaching the on-ear headphones to the headset band, do the following:
-
Remove the cable guides, screws, and rubber pad, which are part of the replacement kit for earphones, as well as the side cushions from the headset band. For details, see
Detaching the cable guides from the headset band.
Use a cross-shaped screwdriver (PH00) to detach the screws. Make sure to keep these parts in a safe place.

Attaching the right on-ear headphone
Attach the right headphone with the audio plug to the right side of the headset band.
-
Hook the headphone clip over the top of the band.
The screw holes and line marker on the band are helpful guides for positioning the clip.
While the clasp is loose, you can reposition the headphone clip for a more comfortable fit. Just make sure that the other clip is similarly placed on its side of the band.
-
Make sure the audio cable is firmly pressed and not falling out of the groove.
-
Make sure the audio cable runs under the band, and not over the top. Check that it isn't also wedged between the clip and the band.
-
Close the clasp around the band, and then snap into place.
-
Connect the audio cable connector to the headphone plug.
Attaching the left on-ear headphone
Attach the left headphone to the left side of the headset band.
- Pin the headset cable along the cable guide on the left headphone.
-
Hook the headphone clip over the top of the band.
The screw holes and line marker on the band are helpful guides for positioning the clip.
While the clasp is loose, you can reposition the headphone clip for a more comfortable fit. Make sure that the other clip is similarly placed on its side of the band.
-
Make sure the audio cable is firmly pressed in place and not falling out of the groove.
-
Make sure that the stopper on the headset cable isn't caught in the clasp, and is on the visor side to prevent damage to the visor while gaming.
-
Make sure the audio cable runs under the band, and not over the top. Check that it isn't also wedged between the clip and the band.
- Close the clasp around the band and snap into place.
Attaching the headphone audio cable
After the left and right on-ear headphones have been attached, attach the headphone audio cable to the headset band.
-
Remove the front pad from the headset band. For details, see
Removing the front and back pads.
-
On the front section of the band, press the audio cable marker into the slot at the center. Then press the cable along the groove until flush with the band.
