If your Sony WH-CH710N headphones no longer hold a charge or power off sooner than they should, the battery may need to be replaced. This guide will walk you through each step of the process, from safely opening the headphones to removing the old battery and installing a new one. With a few tools and careful handling, you can restore your headphones’ battery life and keep them working like new.
Before beginning the repair, review the Sony WH-CH710N Not Charging troubleshooting page for possible solutions. If you have confirmed that the battery is damaged, power off the headphones and disconnect them from the charger or audio cable before proceeding.
Caution: If the battery appears swollen, puffy, or emits a strange odor, handle it with extreme care. Swollen batteries can catch fire or explode if damaged. Before proceeding, review the What to Do with a Swollen Battery guide.
