Beats have some of the most well-endorsed headphones by celebrities and athletes, which is among the reasons for their popularity. But they’re not exactly famous for their durability and lifespan. Chances are, if you’ve had Beats wireless headphones before, you may have busted the battery of a few pairs. That’s why, in this guide, we’re going to show you how you can replace the faulty battery on your Beats headphones yourself. Let’s get right into it.
How to Check Your Beats’ Battery
A faulty battery is often indicated by its inability to store electricity and therefore can’t power up your Beats. But before you commit to replacing the battery, you should make sure that the problem doesn’t lie on other parts of your Beats. You wouldn’t want to go to the hassle of replacing the battery only to find out that your headphones had a faulty charging cable, right? If your headphones won’t charge after plugging them in, you can do several troubleshooting methods, including:
Using a different charging cable Using another charging head/outlet Cleaning dust and debris in the charging port Doing a hard (factory) reset
