That's the way to go.

The two halves of the clamshell blister were held together with a little rubber stop through the hanging hole, and the whole thing came apart easily once that was simply removed. I had to thread the cable back and forth through the cardboard insert three times to get it free, but that would have been a whole lot easier to rip if I hadn't been feeling optimistic bout my no-break opening. ;-) Coincidentally, I bought a new pair of headphones for work just last week, and was happily surprised to not have to cut, tear, rip or otherwise break anything to get them out of the packaging.
