Re: How to take apart an E609If they come apart like the old 409 Sennheiser's taking the two screws out of the each side of the connector body will release the metal band that holds the screens. There may be plastic plugs filling the holes where the screws are. On the 409's the mic element was held inplace by a heavy thick felt piece. Again referring to the 409, after taking the screws out the mic will all but fall apart in your hands.
