3. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to replace your old earpads with the new defean Silicone Gel Earpads:

5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and performance of your defean Silicone Gel Replacement Earpads, follow these maintenance guidelines:

- Discomfort During Use:
- Ensure the earpads are correctly positioned on your ears.
