    • The Solo 2 wireless uses a lot of TI parts. That means that you can find replacement IC's

    • The battery can be easily replaced, and it's not soldered in.

I got the flashing Red-White lights on my beats solo 2 wireless. I tried to reset it by simultaneously pushing power button and mute button but it didn't work. After that I tried Volume down and power button but that didn't work either. After listening some music with wired connection, I concluded that the mute button isn't working. Does anyone know how to fix this ASAP? It might help to revive my beats headset...

J. P juice -

I've had a similar issue.

What you can do is try to hold the power button only in for 10 seconds (thats the normal reset procedure).

But i'm sure you've already tried this. one of the following things might be an issue.

The mute button itself:

If you have a multimeter, put it in to continuity (beep mode) and touch the button contacts.

there are 2 pairs of 2 contacts. the bottom row is connected to each other and so is the top.

the bottom and top contacts should conduct when you press the button. If not the button is bad.

The device doesn't get it's 3V3 supply:

On the right PCB look for a testpoint labeled 3V3. Put the red probe there and the blak one on to the gold side.

you should read 3V3

The cable running from L to R.

This cable has no less then 13 conductors running tough it. varying from the pass trough to the USB connection and 5V power.

Besides these things it also has a I2C communication bus running tough it. If the SDL and SDA lines get shorted nothing besides analog passtrough will work.

one of my speaker dose not work some times wan you shake it works what should i do?? plz help!!!

That sounds like a lose connection to the speaker.

Here are 2 things you can do:

Case 1: You still have warranty:

Call Apple and ask for a repair.

Case 2: you don't have warranty left:

You can open up your headphones and have a look at the speaker thats having issues.

Be sure to be careful when disconnecting the connectors. the foam cushion is held on by double sided tape.

Look at the wire that goes to the speaker if it's lose re tin the wire and solder it on to the terminal it came of.

Ashley -

What is the wire name that connects both speakers?

Shab -

Anyone knows the model of the connectors on the PCB’s?

I’m trying different JST connectors without success.

Aluisio Toledo -

I wonder why this is titled “teardown" when it doesn't show how the hinge clips are torn down? Nor, how it is completely disassembled, which would be most informative, and complete. Because, that is why I read through this. Hoping to discover the unknown.

Robert Baker -

My speakers work when plugged in but dont over Bluetooth. Everything else works, like all the buttons. But the audio doesn’t play over Bluetooth?

Anthony Jensen -

my unit only works whith the aux cable. Otherwise I can’t turn it on or pair it. The reset procedure does work but i don’t know what’s wrong.

Driss Vermaelen -

Hi im trying to reuse the circuit on it for a project i need to know what the wiring diagram ofnthe connectors if you know please send me a link or a file thank you

As someone with a pacemaker I'm supposed to avoid magnets within 6 in of the pacemaker. I'm a short person and there's exactly 6 in from the pacemaker to the bottom of the earpiece of my beats Solo 2 headphones. Can you tell me exactly where the magnets in these headphones are - I'm not referring to the magnets that are on the part that bends in to let you put the headphones more compactly in a case. I mean the magnets that I understand are part of the working mechanism - the driver?. And are the magnets on one side only or on both sides? If they are on one side only how can I identify that side so that I can place it on the right side of my head, farther away from the pacemaker. Thanks so much.
