Hinge Replacement Solo 3 Headband Connector Repair Kit Parts Compatible with Beats by Dr Dre Solo 3.0 Wireless A1796 On-Ear Headphones (Matte Black)

The part came on time. It looks and feels like the original. Nothing bad to say and the price was great.

Perfect replacement for my Beats Solo 3 broken hinge. Difficult to install though.

This headset was not designed in mind with an easy fix for a broken hinge. This completely overpriced set of small bits and pieces comes with no instructions and should not even be offered. You need to go online only to find out that this repair kit is insufficient because you need to take much more apart than you think, and you need to solder (!) cables back together that you had to remove so as to get the main cable through these hinges. Complete waste of time.

Great product and fast shipping

Exact match and perfect fit.

I spent a lot of money on a Beats Solo 3 for my son. It did not even last a week when my son took it to school and broke the hinge(1st picture). The right headphone piece was hanging by one slender wire. I really got upset when I saw it. However, I found the replacement hinge on Amazon but did not know how to replace it.I looked at several Amazon reviews and YouTube videos, and every one of them recommended complex steps requiring a skill set to tear apart the headset and soldering the wires back together. I did not have the ability, skill, patience or the time to do that.I liked one idea from a particular reviewer,(“to get the wire through the hinge, cut the new hinge with a Dremel instead of unsoldering the fine wires”) which I did by cutting the hinge in the middle with a sharp file(see 2nd picture) to guide the headphone wire. Voilà the piece snapped in place!!Don’t forget to place the metal piece/bracket that comes with the hinge. The steps to screw the hinge in place are available on YouTube videos. The cut on the hinge is not visible in the end when you cover it with the rubber headband. Make sure that you have a slender pair of tweezers to put the pin on one side back in(you have to remove one pin to snap the hinge in place).My headphone is now as good as new!Thanks to the one reviewer who suggested cutting the hinge using the dremel tool and also thanks to all the sellers who provide the replacement parts that look like the originals!The 3rd picture is the completed awesome piece of work!!

Want to reiterate that this is a pain. You need a heat gun, thin solder pencil, lighted magnifier ( my 60 year old eyes), glue and maybe a third hand with tweezers. You need to be extremely careful removing the wires, my set had glue on every connector as well as most of the length of wire. Unfortunately I ruined the harness while removing the wires from the case. I applied heat and pryed carefully and still messed it up. Whoever assembled this went nuts with glue. Big bummer. I did find a harness on a site that posted an instructional video. Overpriced but I needed it. So I purchased these hinges, replacement ear pads and a fifty dollar harness. Sigh.Hinges look great and fit perfectly.

Muy buena calidad
