Systems and methods for securing a headphone ear cushion to a headphone earcup on a headphone are described. One embodiment includes orienting an ear cushion proximate to, but not touching, an earcup of a headphone, where the ear cushion includes an attachment ring, the earcup including an attachment receiving interface, aligning a first slot in the attachment ring with a first inward-facing hook on the attachment receiving interface, aligning a first notch with a first outward-facing hook and a second notch with a second outward-facing hook, pressing the attachment ring against the attachment receiving interface such that the first inward-facing hook passes through the first slot, the first outward-facing hook passes through the first notch, and the second outward-facing hook passes through the second notch, and sliding the first elliptical ring relative to the second elliptical ring.

Headphone ear cushion attachment mechanism and methods for using

Headphone playback devices can include a cable assembly including a plurality of conductors extending between a first earpiece and a second earpiece. The cable assembly includes a jacket, a power conductor disposed within the jacket and coupled between a power source in the first earpiece and a wireless transceiver in the second earpiece. The cable assembly further includes a microphone conductor at least partially disposed within the jacket and coupled to a microphone in one of the earpieces. A shield is at least partially disposed between the power conductor and the microphone conductor to reduce electromagnetic interference between the two.
