What are

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.

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. 😁

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

beats should improve their ear pad quality for an almost $400 bucks head phone!

For anyone wondering if this actually works, I just did mine and everything seems to be in order. Headphones work, earpieces stay on, and no scratches or anything :) Spent $7 and now my headphones look new. If I were to do anything different, I'd buy more expensive ear pads with pretty patterns or better foam.

Every item from Beats I’ve ever owned has failed easily!

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.

I barely used mine and they still messed up.

I just bought the adhesive rings and made my own premium genuine leather replacement cups. It turned out so good that I done my wife’s, daughters and also a few of my friends. I even made some money along the way. Much better than those cheap Chinese replacements. Oh, and is was really simple if you can make wooden leather molds to form the wet leather. I have the skills so why not…

No matter how much i tried i canot get it of i got mad so i tried to cut them of lol and they seem to be screwed into the base are they fake ?

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 :)

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.

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.

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

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!

thank you for this video and the link where to buy, this has saved me a lot of money lol

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!

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!!!!

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