WCWicked Cushions Replacement Ear Pads for Beats Studio 2 & 3 (B0501, B0500) Wired & Wireless | Does NOT Fit Beats Solo | Softer PU Leather, Enhanced Foam & Stronger Adhesive | Black

1. The old earpads of my Beats 2 Studio Wireless headphones, model B0501, had become flaky beyond the point of no return and replacement earpads were needed as the headphones still worked perfectly.2. Watch the videos on YouTube on how to replace earpads so that you can have an idea and build confidence and see the process from beginning to end. The Wicked Cushions video is the best but there are other videos by Martin's Tech Blog, Brian MacDuff and another one by Wicked Cushions with the Stewie Griffin voice. (but that's an older video where the 3M adhesive doesnt have the lip)3. Scale of difficulty. 4.5 out of 10 if you watch the video/s and follow the instructions. The difficulty is in removing the plastic base of the old earpad.4. These pads come in a resealable pouch. Inside the pouch are the 2 replacement pads, 2 wet alcohol wipes and paper replacement/installation instructions.5. The instructions come with a QR code which you can scan with your phone for the Wicked Cushions video/YouTube instructions on how to replace the pads.7. I decided to scan the QR code with my phone camera and the video opened up immediately.8. To remove the old earpads, these videos all showed the person working on the replacement using a strong butter stainless steel knife. It's strong enough to use while having a dull side, meaning that the chances of cutting onself whilst performing the replacement is reduced significantly.9. I placed the dull non-serated edge of the knife on the inner part of the plastic edge between the old earpad and the headphone piece.10. Once I did this, I was able to move the dull edge of the knife around the edges of the old earpad and one part of the earpad (with the outer foam and soft inner cover) came loose. The other plastic base (part of the older earpad) remained glued on the rest of the headphone.11. To remove the plastic base that holds the foam part of the old earpad, use the dull non-serated part of the butter knife to remove it. Make sure that you don't scratch the outer visible part of the black part of the headphone. You will most likely scratch the inside of the bare part of the inside of the headphone part that houses the speaker/driver but that part will be covered by the new earpad.12. You will need to use a bit of force to pry the plastic base off the earpad as it is glued on there tight!13. Once the remaining plastic base of the old earpad is off, its time to clean the headphone part where the new earpad is going to rest on.14. I used my fingers to pull off and roll off the remaining glue off the headphone.15. Once all the glue is off and there is no glue residue, dirt or debris on the headphone, then it's time to clean the headphone surface (where the new earpad is going to rest on) with the provided alcohol pad. I also had in stock some First Choose wet dry cleaning wipes which I used, as the provided alcohol pad/s might not be enough.16. Once the surface is clean, then its time to place the new earpad on. Before placing the new earpad, place it (dry test it) on the headphone, seam on the bottom, before removing the adhesive protection cover to ensure that you are placing the correct earpad on the correct side.17. I started installing the earpad that has the indent/cutout where the USB port cable connects to the headphone.18. I removed/peeled off the 3M earpad adhesive using the lip provided (some of the other earpads from other manufacturers don't have this lip) and lined up the earpad, seam on the bottom to the dowels of the headphone and holes on new earpads and pressed the earpad with my fingers firmly all round the earpad to ensure that the inner part of the earpad connects/holds tightly to the outer part of the headphone that houses the speaker.19. I repeated this process for the earpad on the other side, removing the 3M adhesive, aligning the dowels on headphone to the holes on earpads, seam on the bottom and pressed the earpad to the headphone.20. Once the earpads are on, place them on a set of books (or old VHS tapes which I used!) and clamp them on there for 12 hours. My width between earpads was 7.5 (seven and a half) inches.21. Once the 'drying out' clamping period of 12 hours was over, it was time to test the headphones again.22. The earpads work as well as the previous OEM ones. They are comfortable, have similar noise isolation and don't cause discomfort when you use them for a long time.23. They also fit perfectly into the headphone case as they are pretty much the same size as the original.24. I grabbed the Titanium color as it matched the color of the original earpads to a T. No one can notice the difference as the color is pretty much the same. They don't scream 'replacement' or 'aftermarket.'

Love these!! The package came with video instructions that were super helpful with install since the original pads are a bit scary to take off 😅 my first impression is that they obviously look much better but are also significantly more comfortable than the original Beats pads. They did come with a 1 year warranty (you scan the card that comes with it and input your name, email, and order number to activate it) but I can’t imagine I’ll need it. The texture is soft and high quality. The adhesive attached to the pads feels very secure. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants their Beats to stand out and have added comfort for heavy use.

Ok I love AMAZON & reviews. I cannot say enough about WC WICKED CUSHIONS. I bought WC EAR PADS for my BEATS STUDIO WIRELESS 2 or 3 can't remember which set i have. Because apple was nice enough to give me a new set when the plastic Snapped. So i got a massive upgrade from apple. I had accidentally left my BEATS STUDIO'S out in the GARAGE on top of one of my HAMMOND ORGANS that I sell they were there for a few months and when I saw them the CUSHIONS on both Left & Right were flaky bad like something might have eaten the black stuff off the cushions. So i took a CHANCE on this COMPANY knowing AMAZON will give me a REFUND if they were no good or didn't work but to my AMAZEMENT I bought the WC SWEATZ EARPAD PROTECTORS in BLACk also. This was an EASY JOB. I actually had fun doing it. I did watch the VIDEO but i made one mistake the butter knife slipped because of my hands are in massive pain and it kind of left a scratch mark but you cannot see it when wearing them and you would have to go searching to find it. So minor. Anyways THIS IS A MUST BUY FOR STUDIO 2 or 3 WIRELESS. I am telling you this made me feel like new BEATS all over . I just let them set over night just like they said with some books, i had no books but i had iPhone 12 Pro Max Boxes that did the trick. I have just now taken them off the Apple boxes and put on my SWEATZ EARPAD PROTECTORS and BAM done. SIMPLE EASY and they give you everything you need. I used a Alcohol Towel 75% because i had to really work to get the GLUE off from Factory. You have to clean them too PERFECT with NO OLD GLUE. Still not a problem. IF YOU ARE WANTING NEW EAR PADS i suggest BOTH EAR-PADS & SWEATZ-EARPAD PROTECTORS YOU WON't REGRET IT. I will be buying from this COMPANY from know on. SIMPLE & PERFECTION. I am really super excited they look NEW AGAIN. Thank you WC/WICKED CUSHIONS. one thing i don't understand i could hear my FAN running in my Master Bedroom I turned on my DYSON FAN on 10 the highest settings and I could still hear it when the tv sound was at 0. But I turned up the sound on TV didn't hear as much but still heard some. NOT SURE If that is BEATS PROBLEM i thought the STUDIO WIRELESS BEATS were NOISE CANCELATION to begin with. not sure if that has anything to do with the PADS so hopefully WC will see this review and answer that question for me. I am going to reach out to them VIA email or phone and get an answer . When i get an answer I will edit this review. I gave them 4 stars on NOISE CANCELLATION until i find out if it's the PADS that PREVENTS NOISE. Because when you first put on NOISE CANCELLATION HEADPHONES YOU HEAR A VACUM type thing and you cannot hear things on the out side. Gave them 5 STARS for EASY TO INSTALL & COMFORT.Just received a message via facebook from CW regarding NOISE CANCELATION I will copy and paste it. Noise canceling comes only from the HEADPHONES themselves NOT THE CUSHIONS. Here is what they had to say:CW-Hi Daniel, Noise cancellation should be a feature of the headphones. For Beats, you may turn on/off noise cancellation if you download the Beats App. Earpads will only help a little with noise cancellation in a small way. For example, if the ear pads fit your ears properly, it will lessen outside noise but it is mainly depend on how good is the noise cancelling feature of the headphones.

Once I followed the instructions/video installation was simple. Perfect fit for my beats studio 3 . Very comfortable to wear as well.

We ordered these to repair my son's Beats headphones. Once they arrived, we scanned the QR code and watched a short video on how to replace the ear cushions. The process was easy to complete thanks to the guide. After completing the installation, we placed the headphones into position as requested, and let them sit to secure the adhesive. We are VERY pleased with the new covers!! The OLD covers were falling apart, and leaving black flecks on my sons face, clothing and furniture. The new ones are soft, comfortable, and well worth the price paid! Thank you for such a great replacement product, especially, one that I had no idea existed!! I was about to purchase a new pair of headphones, and now that saves me the cost! Perfect!!
