Background
Founded in 2006 by Dr. Dre and Jimmy Lovine, Beats Electronics aimed to deliver premium consumer headphones that emphasised the way the artists themselves heard music. The Solo line (1st Generation) was introduced in 2009 as a lighter, more compact on-ear model engineered by Monster Cable for Beats, designed to fill the gap between large over-ear studio headphones and the growing on-ear/portable category.
The Solo weighs 6.3 ounces and uses a predominantly plastic frame with internal metal reinforcement, which early teardowns noted was partly added for durability and perceived quality. The earcups measure approximately 2.29” × 2.61”, and the headband, when folded, stands at 197 mm in height, making it suitable for travel and casual use. This model connects via a standard 3.5 mm stereo audio jack and does not include Bluetooth functionality, reflecting its prewireless era design. It utilizes roughly 40 mm dynamic drivers to deliver the bass-forward sound profile that became synonymous with early Beats products.
Though popular for style and brand presence, the Solo (1st Gen) is less documented in repair-guide format, making it a good candidate for a detailed teardown and repair guide.
Identification
The original Beats Solo (1st Generation) can be identified by its glossy plastic on-ear cup design, the distinctive lowercase “b” logo on each ear cup, and the absence of the “HD” marking found on later versions. This model connects only through a detachable 3.5 mm audio cable and does not include Bluetooth or noise-canceling features. Each side of the headband folds inward for portability, and adjustable metal sliders connect the headband to the ear cups. A serial number and regulatory information label can typically be found on the inside of the headband or beneath the padding. The headphones’ overall appearance is minimalist, with a smooth plastic finish and cushioned ear pads designed for comfort. If the device includes features such as an inline microphone, Bluetooth capability, or “Solo HD” branding, it is likely a later model and not the first-generation Beats Solo.
