    • 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 !

    • Pinch the ear cushion between your thumb and forefinger.

    • Be very careful when pulling off the ear cushion, as the material holding the cushion onto the plastic ring can rip easily.

    • Carefully pull the cushion directly away from the earpiece.

    • The cushion will have a thin piece of foam inside of it that may fall out upon removal. Make sure to save this for reassembly.

    • Repeat for the other ear cushion.

    • Use the plastic opening tool to remove the black ring from the speaker. This will allow you to access the screws on the metal ring.

    • Congratulations, you now have access to the rest of the speaker!

    • For reassembly, the black ring cannot snap back into the speaker the way it was disassembled. It must first go inside the black lip of the ear cushion. The black lip is located on the back side of the ear cushion. Please refer to the last two pictures on this step.

    • The black lip is located on the back side of the ear cushion.

    Hi does this work for the beats studio wireless?

    Jack -

    I bought the parts two (2) ear cushions and a head band replacement on eBay for about $10 USD

    the process described here works well if the ear pad is old and you do not mind destroying the old one to gain access - however you will destroy the ear cushion pad assembly to separate it from the headphones - so be prepared to buy replacement cushion assemblies - when you disassemble you cannot re-install the original cushions

    the disassembly process tears the plastic cover that goes around the ear cushion plastic ring

Did you know what is the model or tipe of cable? I need to replace it

aaroncruzramirez -

I would love to know as well what kind of cable I need to buy.

I mean the one that is multi colored there, very thin.

Arkymedes -

Where is the Bluetooth Adapter? Is it welded to the mother board? Or is it stand alone with like a flex cable connection? Basically, can the Bluetooth Adapter alone be replaced? Thanks.

Edwin Romero -

There isn’t any Bluetooth. These are WIRED headphones, the model is named “Beats Studio” and these are the FIRST generation.

John Coops -

Do you do beats mixrs electrical wires replacements for the headphones ?

PS MY NAME IS JOEY WILSON and i and 17 teen years old and i was just couries if you can fix the replacement wires for my beats mixrs and they are white and the problems with them are one side works and the other side doesn't work and ut starts to get hot and gets overheat way to easy and they make weird noise so can you please helpme or even tell me what to do to fix my headphones so please send me a response ok thank have a great day .

Joey Wilson -

I believe a revision needs to be made to this guide.

I have a Beats Studio headphone with a “v1.8” revision motherboard, and there is an additional wire in play. Look at the picture of the motherboard in step 14 of this guide. In the upper-right “corner” is one of the screw holes that holds the motherboard to the housing, and directly above it is a large round solder pad. On the v1.6 motherboard this pad is empty, but on the v1.8 motherboard there’s a single-conductor wire that goes from that pad to the very tip of the metal “spring band” that goes over your head while wearing the headphones. Yes, it’s soldered directly to that “spring band”. I suspect this is some kind of grounding wire.

Where can i buy the motherboard mine is damaged and i need to replace it

Moshie Samuel -

Don't remove the ear pads in this manner, you'll most likely ruin them if you do it this way. The black plastic ring is designed to stay inside of the ear cup for disassembly and reassembly. Push against the clips towards the middle of the ear cup from the outside to release them 1 by 1. Just a word of advice, I now have to buy new pads because of this crappy guide.
