Beats Studio First Generation: Can I fix the cracked headband on my beats studios?

Fri, 16 Jun 2023 03:42:25 -0700

The top plastic part of the headband on my headphones cracked. I tried to fix it with superglue, but that did not fix the problem and the headband now looks tacky. Is it possible to buy and install a replacement headband? If so, how do I install it?

They are a pair of black first generation Beats Studios.

Thanks! (:

This isn't the best pic of the crack, but here is what it looks like:

Beats Studio First Generation: Beats Studio Wireless headphones not charging.

Mon, 04 May 2020 08:34:27 -0700

I finally found a charger for my headphones after years of not having one (got them from a friend who lost it) and when I plug them up to charge I get a blue light with a slight red flicker. After hours of being plugged up they haven’t charged at all. I want to look into getting a new battery for them but don’t know how to access where the battery is or what battery I’d be ordering as a replacement. Any help? It would be greatly appreciated as iPhones don’t have the same headphone jacks as I need and I really like these headphones.

Beats Studio First Generation: Why won’t it turn on... like at all?

Wed, 18 Sep 2019 05:04:20 -0700

So my headphones aren’t actually beats but they didn’t seem to have my headphones on there so I’m just gonna do this instead… I’ve had these headphones for about three days and they all of a sudden stopped working (they’re IJoy Bluetooth over the ear ones btw). Like the light on the side won’t turn on at all unless it’s charging- and even then I can’t pair it or listen to anything (holy f*ck in the middle of writing this it just made a noise that scared the !&&* outta me) and it’s super annoying bc they haven’t been dropped or anything. And yes, they are definitely not dead, had them charging overnight before writing this.

Beats Studio First Generation: Mystery: Separating power button from bluetooth button possible?

Wed, 15 May 2019 19:43:30 -0700

First things first, I’m pretty sure these are knockoffs. Nonetheless, they sound pretty good, and I picked them up at Goodwill for a steal and love a challenge, so if someone is interested on taking on this electronics mystery with me I’d be incredibly grateful.

Context: I’ve tinkered on and off with consumer electronics for a while now, am okay at soldering and have an okay knowledge of how more basic circuits work. Otherwise, I'm pretty beginner but generally a quick learner and would be happy to try any of your suggestions.

The previous owner attempted to replace the AAA battery holding component with a rechargeable lithium ion battery - only problem was there was no way to charge the battery. Not a huge deal, fixed the headphones to run on AAAs again as they were originally intended.

That said, pressing and holding the power button powers the headphones on, but also is the Bluetooth connection button on the board (image at the imgur link below) there is an icon for both the connection functionality and the power around the same button. The headphones power on, work, and sound great when you're holding the button down, but once you let go they turn off. So, it’s a momentary switch with no latch to keep it held down - not ideal.

That said, I’ve tested jumping the switch so it gets constant power without holding the button down, and while the headphones power on, connect to my phone, and work, because it seems the power button and bluetooth button are one in the same, the headphones continue to look for Bluetooth devices and makes a periodic and infuriating beeping sound about every fifteen seconds.

Based on the pictures of the board below (pictured with, and without button attached) can anyone figure out what the problem might be? Or point me in the right direction for further tests to run?

Beats Studio First Generation: Power keeps turning off and on

Tue, 12 Mar 2019 21:15:11 -0700

For the last few days my headphones have been making a popping/crackling sound, and have been completely losing sound. At first I thought it was the jack, but then I noticed that the red power light was flickering off and on as it did this popping sounds. After seeing that I removed the batteries and tried adjusting the spring contacts, that didn’t help. I’ve noticed today that it turns off and on repeatedly if I move the speaker side with the batteries around. I can get them to stay on if i hold them a certain way. I’m guessing its a loose wiring causing this, but I wanted to make sure before taking them apart to see.

Beats Studio First Generation: Defective Beats caused brand new cable to corrupt 3 other devices

Tue, 30 Oct 2018 17:24:20 -0700

I had a defective pair of Beats headphones that I plugged a brand new Beats cable into, just to check and see if it was the cable and not the headphones. Well, the right side didn’t work, so I figured they just went bad.Then I plugged the same cable into my brand new Beats and the other end into my iPhone and only the right side worked. Today I bought another new cable and the right side still doesn’t work on the new Beats and then I was going to listen to my iPhone while I worked, using my earbuds. Well, now the right side of my earbuds don’t work and and the right side of the earbuds don’t work that I use on my MacBook Pro. The only thing that these 3 things have in common is the cable that was plugged into the defective Beats. Please, can anyone help?
