For Howard Leight Impact Sport / Impact Pro / similar models, remove the original pads by pulling them straight outward.
If you ordered the flexible, adhesive-backed adapter plates (not necessary, but they provide extra peace of mind), ensure that the adhesive is pointed down, toward the headset, and slide the outer lip underneath the headset's tabs. We recommend prioritizing the sides of the plate first, then the top and bottom. Use moderate pressure to activate the adhesive and ensure the adapter plate is firmly mounted.
If you did not order the flexible adapter plates, slide the ear pad's outer lip underneath the headset's tabs. We recommend prioritizing the sides of the pad first, then the top and bottom.
See the following picture to confirm that our universal, rounded design does fit perfectly even though it does not follow the original rectangular shape.

Use moderate pressure, with the entire palm of your hand, while pressing the ear pads against the adapter plates to create a firm adhesive bond. There is no need to use excessive pressure, as the adhesive is quite strong.
Our adhesive is not permanent, and removal of the pads does not degrade the adhesive if one takes care to avoid contaminating it. We have removed and reinstalled a single pair of pads more than 50 times and did not detect a measurable change in bonding strength. Use light pressure to activate adhesive.

Walkers Game Ear Mount:
The best tool for removing the original mounting plates is a coin like a U.S. penny or quarter. As shown in the video, make sure to line up the headband clip with the side of the headset in order to expose the (mostly hidden) groove where a tool can be inserted to pry / pop off the mounting plate.
