Schritt 6

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 !

Schritt 7

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.

Schritt 8

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?

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

Schritt 9

Use a 00 Phillips head screwdriver to remove the 3.9 mm Phillips screws holding the metal ring in place. There should be 7 in each earpiece.
Make sure the screws you've already removed don't fall into the speaker itself (the circular arrangement of holes on the red piece directly below the metal ring). The speaker itself is magnetic, so getting screws out can be tricky. You should have tweezers available in case a screw or other piece of metal does fall into the speaker.
Once all the screws are removed, the metal ring can be removed by hand.

Schritt 10

Use a 0 Phillips head screwdriver to remove the 8 mm Phillips screws holding the speaker assembly in place. There should be 3 screws in each earpiece.
When all screws have been removed, the speaker assembly can be moved by hand. Remove the speaker carefully since the wires connect to it on the backside.
Again, make sure no screws fall into the speaker itself.

Schritt 11

Flipping the speaker assembly over reveals the speaker wire connections to the speaker itself.
Check that the wire is intact and not frayed anywhere.
If necessary, the wires can be de-soldered to disconnect and replace the speaker assembly.

Schritt 12

If the black part directly beneath the speaker assembly is broken and needs to be replaced, it can be easily removed by hand.
If replacing the speaker on the side of the headphones with the power button (as shown in photos), upon reassembly, make sure the foam is inserted as shown in the first picture. If it is forgotten or improperly seated, the speaker could make undesirable vibrations.
