    • Carefully remove the metal band from each of the hinge housings on each side. These should come off quite easily, provided that you have removed the hinges as instructed in step 3.

    • Congratulations, you have completely removed the headband! This will allow for ease of accessibility to the speakers should you choose to delve further into the depths of your headphones.

    • The black wire connecting the two speakers is somewhat fragile! Check that it isn't frayed. If it is frayed, consider repairing it with some electrical tape, splicing it, or replacing it.

    This step is DEFINITELY NOT necessary !

When replacing the headband there is no need to remove any screws or hinges for the beats studio 1.0 as described here.

Simply carefully remove the headband cushion by snapping it out from the frame as it is merely a push fir and not reattained at the two ends it is just push fit into the top plastic section. Just tease it out gently with small screwdriver and then the the replacement in place and listen to the click as it snaps in. Simple and easy takes less than a minute.
