Step-by-Step: How to Replace the Beats Studio Pro Ear Pads

Step 1: Pry off the old ear pad

Insert the pry tool between the ear pad and the plastic ear cup and apply some pressure to loosen the adhesive. Work your way all the way around, then pull the pad off by hand.

Step 2: Peel off the old adhesive

Peel the leftover black adhesive off the ear cup with your fingers.

Step 3: Match the sides

The right ear pad and the right adhesive both have an indentation for the charge port. The left ones don’t. Make sure each pad goes on the correct side.

Step 4: Prep the adhesive

Remove the center piece of the adhesive first. You don’t need it.

Step 5: Stick the adhesive to the pad

Line up the adhesive’s holes with the pad’s holes. Tear the little tab and peel off only the brown backing. Flip the adhesive over, line up the holes on the pad as best you can and press all the way around.

Tip: Don’t remove the backing on the other side yet.

Step 6: Peel the second backing and clear the holes

Once the adhesive is firmly stuck to the pad, peel off the other backing. If the holes don’t line up perfectly, poke through them with the tool or small tweezers.

Step 7: Mount the ear pad

Line up the two holes in the pad with the two small plastic posts on the ear cup and press. The pad should sit flush. If it doesn’t, reposition it and try again.

Step 8: Press and let it cure

Press all the way around. Give the adhesive overnight to dry completely. Repeat on the other side.

Bring the comfort back to your Studio Pros.

Why Do Beats Studio Pro Ear Pads Wear Out?

Ear pads take heat, sweat and skin oils every time you wear your headphones, and the covering eventually cracks and peels. That’s normal wear, not a defect.

Our pads use high grade materials comparable to stock, with an OEM stock color match in Black, Sandstone, Navy Blue and Deep Brown.
