Einleitung

Use this guide to replace the Beats Solo3 Headband (Model: A1796) if the headband isn’t fitting comfortably when using.

The headband is the main support. It connects both speakers, hoses the connecting wires from the left to the right sides of the head phone, and gives the rigid flex when the headphones are worn over the head.

To use this guide, be sure to have purchased the right part for your headphones at amazon.com. Typically, this device would be replaced, but this is a cost efficient way to bring the device back to live.

Power off the device before fixing to avoid any electrical failures.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Carefully remove the headband cushion cover to expose the screws underneath.

Schritt 2

Unscrew all four 1.4 mm screws on the right and left ends on the underside of the headband using a T5 Torx screwdriver.

Schritt 3

Disconnect the rubber band from the hook.

Schritt 4

Remove the inner headband by gently prying the edges and corners.

Schritt 5

Carefully peel up the glued wire in the headband.

Schritt 6

Pull the headband out of the slots gently.

Be very careful when you pull the headband. There are small pin in the hinge mechanism and they will come out. You will need very small tweezers to put them back in and it is not trivial as the space is very limited. It took me nearly 1 hour to put them back in!
