Hey, @cb3723! It's been a while.
 
Do you have any demo Beats headphones, or are they all retail models?

 

[cb3723]

Howdy vantt1- sorry - all my beats are retail version, I didn't know of these demo models until checking this thread, but I understand the attraction/challenge to you guys here who like to get down and dirty in modding/bringing these cans back to life.

It appears like the only way to get access to demo cans is by having a good contact who works in a best buy store or similar - sorry I can't be of help

 

[vantt1]

Damn, I'm gonna have to stick to modifying retail models then.

Carefully pull the cushions off and you'll see the screws. You will need a Torx T4 screwdriver to undo them.

Still no luck getting mine to work... I've tried a 4.6v transformer and nothing. Too bad, these are some good looking headphones. I guess I'll never find out if they sound as good!

By the looks of it, you will have to rewire the whole headphone from scratch to get it to work.

Is there a way to bypass the power requirement, which I'm assuming is only for the noise cancellation...? Or is there a powered "amp" of sorts that is fed by the batteries [or in my case the power input]?

Unfortunately, the battery drives both the amp and the noise cancellation circuit (which is one circuit board), but you can bypass the circuit altogether by wiring the input directly to the speaker drivers.

Hmmmmm... I'm guessing I would then lose a lot of sound quality?
 
I"m really surprised this is so difficult to figure out! It's such a simple circuit. How much power can the wired power input be supplying that I can't replicate it with batteries? Or is it possible that there is a completely different internal on the demo pair vs the stock? Thanks for the advice.

wow. I am totally bookmarking this thread.
 
Thank You all

If anything, audio quality should increase because there's no longer a Beats circuit interfering with it.

I'm starting to think the demo Beats are quite different from the retail models.
