I have a whites surfmaster pi DF, the sliders broke on the headphones. I ordered new sliders and watched a video on how a tech replaced them. The tech just simply pushed the broken barbs into the headphones. I had the bright idea of trying to extract them and now have a problem.
Heres what I did:
Now I have barb+screw rattling around inside the ear cup.
I carefully removed the foam earpad hoping to find screws beneath it, no screws.
I assume the yellow cup must be press fit with the black plastic cover, probably with adhesive?
Is there any way to pry apart the assembly?
About to try and magnetize a metal rod and attempt to snag the screw in hopes of extracting it, will update if I figure anything out in the mean time.
Attached are pics of front/back of the headphone, also a pic of the control box just to show what model i'm working with.


Cheers fellas
Heres what I did:
- threaded screw into broken barb
- tried pulling screw out with vicegrips, screw came out of barb
- tried threading screw deeper into barb, accidentally applied pressure and screw + barb fell into ear cup, heh
