Which Beats Headphones Do I Have? Solo3, Studio3 or Studio Pro

1. Start with the original product information

Read the full name on the box label or your original order. Keep the generation and any “Pro” wording. “Beats Studio” in a second-hand advert is not specific enough to decide between a Studio3 and a Studio Pro skin.

Check that the box belongs to the headphones in front of you. A replacement carry case, a colour name or an accessory receipt can send you in the wrong direction.

2. Read the connected device’s information

For supported models such as Studio Pro, Apple documents these routes after connecting your Beats:

• iPhone or iPad: open Settings and tap the Beats name near the top.
• Mac: open System Settings and select the Beats name in the sidebar.
• Android: open the Beats app; use My Beats if the connected device is not already displayed.

Read the model information, not only the editable device name. Apple’s Beats information guide describes the supported models and software versions.

3. Inspect accessible markings without taking them apart

Read any accessible product text in good light. Do not pull off cushions, peel glued padding or force a hinge just to look for a number.

For Studio Pro, Apple places the serial number on the slider above the right ear cup when the headband is extended. The serial can also be on the original packaging or receipt. See Apple’s illustrated serial-number guide.

A serial number identifies the individual unit; it is not the product name to select in our shop. If it is your only readable identifier, use official support to establish the model. Keep the serial private rather than posting it in a public photo.

Solo3, Studio3 and Studio Pro: useful checks

The most useful answer is the confirmed model name. Hardware details can support that answer, but no single port, colour or feature should overrule it.

Choose the matching Beats skin

These are our three dedicated listings covered by this guide. The images show XtremeSkins catalogue renders with Black Carbon skins, not the original factory finishes, and they are not shown to scale.

Do not swap Solo3, Studio3 and Studio Pro pieces between listings. A similar-looking ear cup does not establish the fit of the headband, cup or outer-ring sections.

Avoid these common name mix-ups

Solo3 is not Solo4 or Solo Pro. Keep the complete name when selecting accessories. Studio Pro is not Studio3 Wireless, and Studio Buds should not send you to an over-ear headphone skin.

Check the headphone selector if your model is outside the three listed here. Do not order the closest-looking option when there is no exact match.

Check the condition and the selected coverage

Tell us if your headphones have replacement outer shells, decorative covers or other exterior modifications. Identifying the original model does not verify the dimensions of an aftermarket part.

Choose the actual pieces shown in your product options. A render showing several areas does not mean every individual Custom selection includes all of them. Our Beats skins buying guide covers the next step: finishes, available sections and customisation.

Before fitting, find the relevant video in our installation guide selector. Keep cushions, controls, ports and microphone openings clear, and stop if a piece does not align rather than stretching it to suit a different model.

Still unsure which Beats you have?

Email info@xtremeskins.co.uk before ordering. Send the full name you have found, an overall photo and a close-up of the ports or accessible model text. Hide serial numbers and personal details in the images.

We would rather help you check first than have you unwrap a beautifully chosen skin for a completely different pair of headphones.
