How To REPLACE Beats Headphones EAR PADS!

Today we're learning how to REPLACE the ear pads on your Beats Headphones - for both Beats Studio headphones and Beats Solo headphones! I'm a huge fan of my Beats Studio Wireless Headphones for the gym. The problem, however, is that the ear pads (or earpads, ear cushions, ear cups, earcups - whatever you want to call them) - get worn out pretty easily with excessive use. Instead of paying to get your Beats headphones repaired for a hefty price - or replacing them altogether - this video will teach you how to replace Beats earpads, ear cushions, and ear cups for a fraction of the price and within just a few minutes. In some cases, replacement Beats ear cups can turn out to be ever better than the original! I thought this would be a fun and helpful video to film, so please be sure to give it a big thumbs up if you enjoyed it and, as always, don't forget to leave your own thoughts on replacing Beats ear cushions in the ✍🏼 Comments section!

What are *YOUR* thoughts on this Beat Studio Headphones ear pad replacement process?!

[@BananaGamingYT]

Very good at explaining everything step by step! I love your videos BMAC! Keep up the good work! I keep post notifications on so I can get to your videos early!

[@BananaGamingYT]

I wish I had beats but I don't. Do they sound good?

[@itstheBMAC]

They sound good, but they aren't necessarily the best in terms of quality and clarity for their price. They are punchy and bass-heavy, which is what I like for the gym. I'll likely be posting more videos in the near future to review these and more headphones and earbuds!

[@BananaGamingYT]

@@itstheBMAC Plz do post more videos about these. I love them!

[@juchebo100]

I have the exact same headphones(mine is silver) and the right earcup is starting to peel even though I don’t use them that much and I have had them under a year but for some reason, the right one is starting to peel and I was thinking I would have to replace the entire headphones but I’m glad to have seen this video. Thanks so much BMac 😊

[@mr.johnson5022]

Just found my white solo beats in the garage about a week ago.. white flakes everywhere lol 😆 . Thanks for the video. 🤟🤘🤙

[@joebudden3327]

Those flakes were awful. 🤣

[@apfilms4997]

Decided to take mine out and repair them

[@Glisten45]

Same here! 🤣

[@lasma.a]

Be careful if you have Studio 3 headphones. They're built a bit differently and have a kind of a plastic ring around it behind which the material of the earpiece is tucked in. I broke a small piece of it off. My advice is to cut off the soft part from the top and then take off the rest so you can see where the plastic ring begins and where the adhesive ring is. The simple Studio headphones have their earmuffs basically just glued on the flat surface. Studio 3 are different.

[@lashma01]

You actually need to take that piece off too. It’s REALLY glued on there. I ripped the small fabric piece and stuck the butter knife in that way from the inside. When you’re done, that small fabric piece comes off too and you’re left with a smooth surface to glue to.

[@janvirbrar4181]

@@lashma01 Yep gotta rip it all off. when i ripped the cushion off, some of it broke off but i carefully pried the rest off with a small knife

[@nilc.8850]

please read this comment from @@lashma01 if you want to do it properly

[@Ravelowsky]

​@@lashma01 You are right!! I stopped thinking I broke it but kept going and now is fine

[@mihalyvaradi823]

Big difference

[@Jerupitus]

Thank you for the guide! I replaced my girlfriend's ear pads following your video, and they're like new (better in fact, as she picked out the flower print ones and she loves them). She's been using them for a few days now and is overjoyed that she didn't have to buy new ones to fix her crumbling ear pads. I highly recommend this replacement technique to anyone.

[@joannesammynaiken9861]

A million thank you's!!..I just received my replacement headphone that I ordered from the link you shared and it was way easier to do than I thought..I was so upset and now I'm so happy :)

[@y2double1]

Just replaced the ear cushions on my Beats Studio headphones. Did not replacing them was even an option until I watched your video. This was a great video, my replacement went exactly as you described.

[@jdpst20]

Just pulled my old beats out of the case for a recent trip I was about to go on and they were almost unusable due to to the amount of black flakes coming off the cups. Stoked I found this vid, now I can refresh them and be good to go! And now I can do a different color too which would be dope.

[@titch27]

thank you for this video and the link where to buy, this has saved me a lot of money lol it was so easy to change, I didn't even bother to use the tool they provided and just used a blunt knife like you suggested and it worked perfectly, I am so pleased!! I have a brand new headphone without the hefty cost :)

[@AdirondackRuby]

I've had mine for about 4.5 years and the coating on the ear pads is peeling like a bad sunburn! (which is kind of funny, since they are red) I had always assumed this was something that could be done, but had no idea it was so easy! I'll definitely be buying new replacement ear pads. Thank you!

[@mashacaus]

wow thank you so much! I followed all the steps and that's amazing how easy and cost friendly this whole thing was

[@itstheBMAC]

You're welcome!

[@danieljohnston7239]

Great video Man, really useful and easy to follow - will keep on the lookout for more of your DIY videos!!

[@devons.3481]

Great video! I was very nervous to mess with such an expensive pair of headphones so I really needed to see on video exactly where to pry and how much force is necessary, and you showcased the process perfectly!

[@itstheBMAC]

Happy to hear it! Thank you for watching!

[@marypeck6679]

Bought a pair of studio Beats at a lost and found sale with worn ear pads for $75. So glad I found your video on how to replace the ear pads! Now they will be like new. Yes!!!!

Thanks!! Just ordered a pair was in need of these desperately ☺️

[@itstheBMAC]

[@daniellemonique4299]

Totally Was Going To Buy A Whole New Set.. Thanks For The Recommendation!

[@konradtheman]

Best explanation of this. There are so many crappy videos that try to explain this and either go too fast or are in terrible quality. This was the first one that actually answered a question of mine that had me panicking. I had removed the ear cushions but there was still a ring of black plastic on the headphones that kinda looked like it should be there. Turns out it was the seating for the ear cushions that I hadn't removed. I had removed the cushions from the seating not the seating from the headphones! It required some serious and I mean serious elbow grease to remove that seating. Beats didn't spare any money on that original glue!

[@ACL42590]

Do you remember how you got off that seating? I’m having the same issue where I removed the cushion, but now that seating is virtually impossible to peak off since I can’t get my butter knife underneath it

[@viper1213]

​@@ACL42590it might be a little late but I did it by cutting the black foam in the middle and using the butter knife and prying it from the middle instead of the outside. It was way easier than doing it from the outside.

[@pedrosikes]

Thanks, great video. Daughter has a set of Beats and I have just bought some. Great to know you can repair them. Because they’re pricey .

I unfortunately took the ear pads off before looking which side was right way up. So i struggled with lining it up for about 15 min before i figured it out. So an easy way to figure it out is at the bottom of both pads there is a line. That is the side that goes down. Great video my friend.

Hello, just a thought. I managed to separate between the plastic edge of the cushion and the foam. Basically I managed to separate the foam part off its plastic rim, so it never looked like the way you showed. Started panicking that maybe I have a fake beats. So whoever out there and might think you only need to remove the foam bit, WRONG! There will be the plastic edge of the foam and the plastic base part that glued together. So you need to pry two plastic bit apart. 😁

[@nw7077]

💯 Thanks for sharing! I was hesitant to continue removing the second part but your comment helped me through the process (:

@@nw7077 happy that my comment was useful to you. 😉

[@esraramirez1124]

Thaasank you, but on mine there is a gap now where there was once no gap, is there a gap between the plastic and foam on yours

[@nw7077]

@@esraramirez1124 shouldn't be a gap! Double check that you removed everything properly like @evagulas mentioned, and as the video shows. A tip that might help after that is to make sure you apply pressure to the new cushion and the headphones. try putting some books in between or any type of box/package just to solidify the seal with the glue!
