Taking apart the MPOW H19 IPO Headphones
My MPOW H19 IPO speakers died today, the sides cracked at the sides from being stretched. Normally I would just fix them but, I’d already tried with superglue and this time they needed stripping down and gluing carefully with epoxy to strengthen them in the right places. I found getting them apart difficult (and my patience was MIA) so I ended up breaking them.
So I took pictures so show how you would take these apart properly if you weren’t in a “HULK SMASH!” mood
The foam can be removed by twisting the foam piece and the back plate it is glued to anti-clockwise, while looking at the “R” or “L” labelled foam.
For screws can then be removed to separate the speaker housing.
Two clips on ether side can then be removed to free the wishbone bracket — which comes out by gently splaying it out.
Removing the two screws at the top of the wish bone allows the cover to be popped off (the wishbone has to be removed from the speaker case).
There are also two screws in the end of the lower arm which need to be removed before popping open the lower arm
The lower arm is just clipped together and can be popped open carefully with a plastic screwdriver.
The cable bracket can be removed from the wishbone by lining up the two keys on the metal bracket. I found it easier to first tease out the mechanisms cover (marked with “L” or “R”).
From there on its just a case of finding and removing the small screws holding the head band to the lower bracket.
The PCBs are held in with three screws.
The right side also contains the battery.
I hope someone finds this helpful.
