Check the model
Confirm Beats Solo 3 on your order and identify the pieces in your chosen coverage. Keep unused sections on the backing.
Clean and dry
Switch off and unplug the headphones. Follow the manufacturer's cleaning advice, keeping moisture away from cushions and openings.
Set yourself up
Use clean, dry hands and a well-lit workspace. Watch the video first with your supplied instructions nearby.
Fitting your Beats skin
Use the video for exact positioning and order. Only fit the intended exterior surfaces.
-
Check each piece
Match the cup side, outer edges and cut-outs before pressing. Do not stretch vinyl into place.
-
Apply progressively
Follow the backing-removal method shown and smooth gradually without repeatedly pulling the adhesive.
-
Finish the curves
Use gentle hairdryer warmth only where instructed. Do not use a heat gun or make the headphones hot.
-
Check moving parts
Keep hinges, cushions, microphones, ports and controls unobstructed. Do not bridge a moving joint with vinyl.
Installation questions
Can the skin cover the cushions?
No. Fit each piece only to its intended exterior panel, not on soft cushions or across a hinge.
What if a curved edge will not sit down?
Check alignment before adding pressure or warmth. Read our fitting troubleshooting guide or send us a photo.
