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: WHY BLUETOOTH IS NOT CONNECTING? (Dre Beats Studio Wireless)

Tue, 22 Sep 2020 03:48:51 -0700

The power gauge to my dr.beats are working and all lights turn on. But when I pair my dr beats to my devices it will not pair. I noticed that the light on the left hand side for pairing blue tooth is not on. I've reset my beats a number of times, red lights are flashing as well as other white lights which lets me know the power gauge is okay . Please help me!!!

Beats Studio First Generation: Beats wouldn't charge and now won't turn on.

Thu, 29 Dec 2016 22:20:01 -0700

2 nights ago I was using my studio wireless beats and accidentally left them on all night. They didn't die, but I continued to use them without charging. I then noticed the red light was on meaning it needed to be charged so I plugged it in. The beats wouldn't charge. I did all kinds of resets including just the power button and holding the power and mute button together for 2 minutes but it didn't work. I then just gave up and today I tried again but now they won't even turn on. I've only had them for 4 months and have never dropped them ever. Does anyone have a solution?

Beats Studio First Generation: Beats Studio Wireless headphones not powering on

Thu, 02 Mar 2017 15:10:56 -0700

My headphones stopped working two days ago and I cannot get them to turn on now. I plug them into the charger and the charge light turns on red. After about a minute the light turns green. However, I can't get them to turn on, reset or flash any function lights while unplugged or plugged in. I have tried 10 second and 2 minute reset durations holding the power button, power and volume button, and power and mute button. I am still not getting any response from them. They still work when the audio cord is connected though. What is up with these headphones??

Beats Studio First Generation: Can I replace my headphones's ear cushions?

Tue, 22 May 2018 22:30:30 -0700

My puppy somehow for some reason got hold of my Beats by Dre headphones. Probably thought it was a play toy, which kind of still makes it difficult to explain as to how he got a hold of it. My cushions are all teared/ badly damaged. Headphones still work, but just the cushions damaged. Is it possible to replace? If so, please advise of any legit/ authorized repair company in the Western Cape, South Africa.

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: Super glue removal help?

Sun, 14 Oct 2018 18:05:05 -0700

I recently agreed to help a friend with his beats, replacing the headband which is a fairly simple replacement. However a previous attempt to fix them involved super glue and now two broken pieces of plastic are stuck with Krazy Glue in the slot where the new headband is going to go. I've read that acetone might damage the plastics, and the headphone cable runs right through that area. Any suggestions on how to loosen the adhesive? I thought about trying heat but I'm afraid that might melt the cord
