Can't see your model listed? Use a similar headset with the same skin type for the basic fitting method. Shapes and cut-outs may differ, so always use a skin made for your exact model. Clear skins need separate instructions.

Before you start

Check the headset

Confirm the Platinum Headset model and coverage on your order. Identify the intended cup and band pieces, leaving unused sections on the backing.

Clean and dry

Switch off and unplug the headset. Follow Sony's cleaning advice and keep moisture away from cushions and openings.

Set yourself up

Use clean, dry hands and a well-lit workspace. Watch the video first with your fitting instructions nearby.

Fitting your headset skin

Use the video for the exact positioning and order.

  1. Match each piece

    Check the intended cup side and cut-outs before pressing. Do not stretch the vinyl to correct alignment.

  2. Smooth gradually

    Follow the backing-removal method shown and work progressively without repeatedly lifting the adhesive.

  3. Finish the contours

    Use gentle hairdryer warmth only where instructed. Do not use a heat gun or overheat the headset.

  4. Check functional areas

    Keep cushions, hinges, microphones, ports and controls clear. Do not bridge a moving joint.

Installation questions

Does the skin go over the cushions?

No. Body skins belong only on their intended exterior panels, not on soft cushions or moving joints.

What about bubbles or lifting?

Avoid pins and extra force. Check alignment and read our fitting troubleshooting guide.
