Beats Studio3 Headband Replacement

Introduction

If your Beats Studio3 headphone headband is broken or if the hinge bends too far outward, use this guide to replace the broken headband.

When the hinge seems loose or bends away from your head, the tabs on the headband have broken above the screws.

Before using this guide, have a replacement headband on hand.

    • Thread the audio cable into the slotted tab.

    • Continue to snap it together until about the middle of the headband.

    • The bottom headband cover might slip out in places. Press it back in. There is no need to pry the upper and lower headband apart to put the cover back on.

    • Insert the headband into the speaker hinge buckle.

    • The audio cable might seem like it is too long at this point. It's not. Continue to push into the speaker hinge buckle, and the extra length will resolve on its own.
