Beats By Dre - The easiest parts to replace.
Beats by Dre are some of the most popular headphones around! Not only do they sound amazing but they’re also a fashion accessory, often seen on the heads of world class athletes and hanging from the necks of some of the biggest celebrities on Earth. But with all of the hype and popularity, exaggerated prices are bound to be a problem. The biggest flaw, by far, of the Beats Solo, Beats Studio and Beats Studio wireless headphones are the super-inflated cost of having Apple, the original manufacturer, repair the units when a part inevitably fails.
Many owners of the Beats Studio and Solo headphones are unaware of how easily and affordably they can replace these failing parts themselves.
