Step-by-Step DIY Guide to Replacing the Cracked, Damaged, or Broken Left and Right Inside Panels on the Beats Studio Pro Wireless Bluetooth Headphones at Home

In this detailed DIY repair guide, we show you how to replace the damaged left and right inner panels on the Beats Studio Pro Wireless headphones at home. Follow the instructions and refer to the corresponding images to restore your device’s form and functionality.

Step 1: Extract the Left and Right Earpad Cushion

Insert a strong metal pry tool into the seam between the earpad cushion and the earcup, then gradually pry up on all sides till the two halves separate.

Step 2: Disconnect the Battery

The battery is located in the right earcup. Always disconnect the battery before soldering wires. We recommend starting on the right side, regardless of whether you are replacing the left or right inside panel.

2.1. Insert a thin flat head screwdriver into the notch at the top of the ring on the right earcup and pry upward using your finger for support to avoid scratching the surface of the headphone.

2.2. Unfasten the 4 Phillips head screws using the 2.0mm screwdriver, and store them separately.

Important Note: Store each set of screws separately in the slots provided on the work mat. This will help you identify and fasten the screws into the correct position when reassembling the headphones. We recommend storing parts for the right earcup on your right side and parts for the left earcup on your left.

2.3. Extend the slider hinge to its maximum length to create more working space and keep the internal wires tight, reducing the risk of damage during the repair.

2.4. Insert a flathead screwdriver under the slider frame and work your way around the plastic tab till it pops out.

2.5 Lift the inner and outer panels, slide them out from the slider rail, then flip them to reveal the inner wires.

2.6. Soften the adhesive over the battery connector with a heat gun set to 160°C (350°F), then gently peel off the old glue with a flathead screwdriver. Be very careful not to damage the connector or the circuit board.

2.7. Disconnect the battery wire using a flathead screwdriver.

Pro Tip: If you’re replacing the left inner panel, assemble the right earcup temporarily so that it doesn’t get in the way while you’re working on the opposite side.

Step 3: Extract the Damaged Left and Right Inner Panel

3.1. Unfasten 7 screws from the speaker housing.

Ninja Insight: The right inside panel has 5 black screws securing the speaker housing and 2 silver screws securing the charger port. Meanwhile, on the left side, all 7 black screws secure the speaker housing.

3.2. Click a photograph of the internal wires to use as a reference while reconnecting them during assembly.

Quick Note: Soften the adhesive over the wire connectors with a heat gun set to 160°C (350°F), then gently peel off the old glue with a flathead screwdriver. Be very careful not to damage the connector or the circuit board.

3.3. Apply some soldering flux to the connector points.

3.4. Unsolder all the internal wires.

3.4.1. For the left side, you need to unsolder the wires from the AUX port before proceeding to the next step.

3.5. Unfasten the single Phillips screw on the speaker housing.

Unique Steps for the Right Side Only

3.6. Separate the speaker housing from the inside panel.

3.7. Pull the wires out from the inner panel.

3.8. Flip the inside panel over, then insert a strong metal pry tool under the battery and gently pry it out from the damaged right inner panel.

3.9.  Soften the adhesive patch securing the battery wire to the broken right inside panel using a heat gun, then extract the battery.

Unique Steps for the Left Side Only

3.6. Insert a flathead screwdriver under the plastic tab on the left slider hinge and pop it off.

3.7. Gently pull the speaker housing away from the left inside panel.

3.8. Unfasten the 4 screws securing the inside and outside panels.

3.9. Slide the inside panel down and out from the metal rail to separate it from the outer panel.

Step 4: Assemble the New Left and Right Inner Panels

The replacement left or right inner panels do not come with the gasket or the metal plate. You will have to remove them from the old panel and install them on the new one.

4.1. Use a pair of wire cutters to remove the 8 plastic tabs. Exercise caution during this step, as the tabs can snap and fly off unexpectedly when cut, potentially causing injury. Consider wearing safety glasses for added protection.

4.2. Push the metal tab out using your finger.

4.3. Transplant the small black stickers from the old to the new inside panel using a flathead screwdriver.

4.4. Install the metal tab in the new inside panel. The tab has a slight bulge on one side. Keep that side pointed downward during installation.

4.5. Melt the 4 small plastic bumps with a soldering iron to secure the metal tab in place.

4.6. Transplant the sticker tape from the old to the new inner panel. If your headphones do not have a sticker tape, you can skip this step.

4.7. Clean the rubber gasket with a microfibre cloth dipped in isopropyl alcohol.

4.8. Align the notches on the rubber gasket with those on the new inside panel. The left and right rubber gaskets have L and R markings to help you distinguish between them.

4.9. Align the metal ring over the rubber gasket the same way.

4.10. Heat each of the plastic points using a heat gun set to 200°C (392°F) and flatten them with a metal pry tool, securing the rubber and metal gaskets into place.

Step 5: Reassemble the Left and Right Earcups

5.1. Pry the metal hinge tab with a flathead screwdriver. This metal piece is what’s clicking when you slide the earcup up and down. Prying it out slightly will create a bulge, ensuring the earcups don’t slide down on their own. This step is optional.

5.2. Feed all the wires through the hole in the inside panel.

5.3. Install the battery on the right inner panel and press down so that the old adhesive cures quickly. Do not connect the battery wire yet. Skip this step when replacing the left inside panel.

5.4. Align the tabs on the inner panel with those on the outer panel and press them together.

5.5. Press down and slide up using your fingers.

5.6. Pull the wires through and make sure nothing is snagging in the screw holes.

5.6.1. For the left side only, fasten the 4 screws on the inside panel.

5.7. Feed the wires through the speaker housing.

5.8. Align the notches on the gaskets with the holes in the speaker housing.

5.9. Fasten the single screw in the speaker housing.

5.10. Grab each end of the gasket through the holes in the speaker housing and gently pull it out till the gasket sits flush with the housing. Use curved precision tweezers for a better grip.

5.11. Apply some flux to the soldering points.

5.12. Solder all the internal wires according to the reference image from Step 3.2.

5.13. Connect the battery wire to the power board. The 3 gold dots should face downward.

5.14. Tuck the wires into the earcup using your fingers.

5.15. Align the speaker housing with the earcup and fasten all 7 screws with a 2.0mm Phillips screwdriver. Be careful not to damage the wires when you install the screws.

5.16. Fasten the 4 screws on the right earcup.

5.17. Align the notch on the ring with the groove on the earcup and press them together.

5.18. Cut a piece of double-sided tape and place it under the plastic hinge tab.

5.19. Slide the plastic hinge tab from one end, then press down until you hear it click securely in place.

5.20. Align the earpad cushion with the earcup and press them together so that the old adhesive tape sticks.
