Introduction
This guide will show you how to replace the driver in the Anker Soundcore Life Q30 headphones. The driver is what creates the sound you hear in the headphones, so a faulty driver can cause audio to become distorted or not play at all. Replacing these will require you to solder the replacement driver to the main circuit board. Before you begin, make sure to turn off the headphones and unplug them from their charger.
