Beats Solo 2: How to put black leather around beats headphones

Thu, 28 May 2020 12:43:58 -0700

The leather on my Beats By Dre Solo2s are coming off. It is not the actual ear cushion though that is falling off. It is basically tucked in under the ear cup. Is there any way to re tuck it underneath the earcup?

Thanks for your advice

Beats Solo 2: How do I fix a broken hinge on my Solo 2?

Mon, 19 Feb 2018 23:10:49 -0700

Hi guys. One of my friends gave me an old pair of (Product) RED Solo 2's. The sound still works, but the ear cushions are old. (I already know how to replace them.) And the left hinge is completely broken. Also, the left hinge's outside 'Solo' branding piece is missing, unlike the right side. The wire is just hanging there and I'm pretty scared about the wire snapping or something, so I want to fix it as soon as possible.

Any parts recommendation or tutorials will be gladly appreciated. Here is a link to the photos of the headphone's condition and problem: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/nxbeb4r... Brokolos 2 Pics

Thanks a lot!

Beats Solo 2: Beats solo 3 hinge repair.

Fri, 12 Apr 2019 21:45:24 -0700

Hello,

my right hinge of beats solo3 is destroyed. I bought the part on ebay but I just can't get inside of it. I've been stuck there (Screens) and I just cant find out how to put this thing off.

Every video i watched has a screw in the middle and it gets out. But this one just doesnt have it and i don't want to destroy them. I mean it isnt cheap stuff so i'd like to make it without risking.

Thanks for your answers!

Beats Solo 2: Help Diagnosing - Right Side not Working

Mon, 26 May 2025 02:18:45 -0700

Hi all,

I was hoping to get a second opinion on a pair of Beats Solo 2's I just picked up from the thrift. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to headphone repair so I wanted to make sure I'm on the right path before spending any money on them.

I tested them on 2 different audio sources with 2 different cables, so the problem is definitely in the headphones themselves.

I've used a multi meter continuity function to test the two wires (R and RG) from the left side to the right, and both sides have continuity. I've also tested the continuity between the jack's right side input and the jack's ground and the continuity is good to the pads on the right side.

When I measured the resistance between the positive and negative pads on both sides of the headphones, the left (good) side measured in at 30 ohms, while the right (bad) side measured in at 650 ohms.

This leads me to believe the driver itself is bad, correct? Hoping to get some corroboration before I pull the trigger on a new driver. Thanks!

Beats Solo 2: Leather covering on my ear cushion is peeling off--do I replace it?

Tue, 18 Aug 2020 13:38:21 -0700

I’ve been having a slight problem lately where the leather covering the foam on the ear cushion is starting to peel out. I used to be able to wedge it back into place with my fingernail, but I think I’ll probably have to find a more permanent answer soon. Can I just glue it back into place, or is that bad for the earphones? Should I replace the whole ear pad?

Also, would the answer be different if it was just a Solo rather than Solo2? The headphones are actually Solo, but not the HD version or anything. I don’t think there’s really a huge difference between the two.
