How do you connect the wrist strap to the speaker? I've seen a photo of it connected. I'd have to remove the back. I dare not.

I agree that the attachment of the strap is not very well thought out however I was able to pull the loop through the slots by forming a very small (Approx 26 AWG) solid copper wire into a hook shape and pressing the wire into one slot until I was able to pull it out the other with a needle noise plyers. Once the copper wire was though I made a tight loop of the wire around the strap cord and pulled it though. With the nylon cord threaded you can pull the larger part of the strap between both cords forming a knot. The technique requires some experimentation and finesse but its better than trying to take the unit apart.

Do you want to connect the strap? Personally I see no need for any strap. You can just leave it off and you are good to go. That is what I did. You see the other answers to this question, there is no need to remove the back to attach the strap.

I was not able to attach the wrist strap as designed. I cut the attaching loop, fed one end of he cord through the two small holes, and retied the loop to attach the wrist strap.

I had problems getting the wrist strap 'threaded' into the opening, its a "royal pain" for old hands like mine! But I asked my adult son to help, and he was able to get it threaded through the opening and attached for me. Since he got it attached, I didn't try this, but the narrow point of needle-nose pliers might slide into the opening enough to help you pull the loop through, you then thread the strap through the loop to finish the job. Good luck! I would be leery of opening the the back of the device to get access to the opening. I don't have access to the device right now, I can't say for sure...

This was a gift for my grandson, so I'm sorry don't know personally, but I can ask him. From a similar experience with another device, I would think that Edward's answer below would work well - if you don't have copper wire, you could use fishing line, or buttonhole thread to make a loop and thread the loop through to hook around the small thread on the strap.

I found it to be so confusing to set, I finally gave it to my son just this past Sunday. I do not recall trying to unscrew the back unless I did initially to put in a battery maybe? I've had it a while and got so frustrated with it I gave it away. Hope you have better luck.

I have the same problem. I think it is the proactive plastic over the speaker for the ear and the mic. I use a bluetooth headset with my phone while it is in the case. I also use Ironman yurbuds when I run and listen to music.

you can easily crack it open and cut the wires going to the clearly visible pc speaker, then just pop it back together. did it on mine..i was afraid of it not fitting back together, but they're nice tabs that are meant to be opened up and put back.

There are screw terminals for the speaker wires. You unscrew the binding post, put the bare speaker wire into the connector, and using your fingers tighten the binding post down on each wire.

Answer here...back of speakers have conventional exterior spring loaded wire clips, slide speaker wires into slot and release tabs.

Rachael, it comes with a cable that will go into the back. I've not tried it though, but it is there. I hope this of help to you.:)

One way I can think of is to unscrew the case find the speaker and cut one of the two wires coming out of the speaker. Unless the speaker is soldered onto the board itself this should be fairly simple. I would do it in such way that it can be soldered back if necessary. I haven't tried this.

Not really. The device is not "user friendly" and difficult to open without the possibility of cracking/breaking the plastic shell or damaging internal components. To answer your question, I very carefully opened mine with two flat tip jewelers screwdrivers. I think I cracked a small piece of plastic near the volume button, but that's OK. It's not my primary device. Once I had the back partially open, I could see that the battery is essentially hardwired into the unit, including what appears to be glue or special tape holding it in place. I also noticed a couple thin wires connecting from the inside of the unit to the speaker that sits in the back plate. Should you decide to open it, be aware that the wires might get pulled off the internal circuit board. Bottom line, I wouldn't recommend "messing" (technical term) with the internal "guts" (another technical term) of the device unless absolutely necessary.

Interesting.... how did you find me? I bought that same tray for my Fiat 500S with the Beats audio last year. It did not fit, the Beats speaker takes up a good portion of the driver's side trunk. I had to cut the tray myself with a heavy duty scissors knife which worked fine; I am the only one that would ever know. I recommend making a simple template out of cardboard to help ensure you cut your tray to fit well. If you can find a tray that is customized for the Beats speaker go for it, otherwise cut it yourself as the tray is great. I have no complaints.

You can't, so I returned it. They offered to hand cut a hole in the case, for the rear port, but I thought that would be too crude. I also didn't like the mesh they used over the front ports, and they couldn't even get it installed straight. If you just need something to carry the SoundLink, there are better options, at a lower price.

As far as I know, this cover and back are connected. I have not figured out how to disconnect.

mine works fine. I did have to switch the product once with Amazon due to the loose elastic strap. But the replacement came in just two days. I'll say keeping enjoy the music and call Amazon to send you a new one.

The speaker is in the back of the device and gets muffled by the case. I jam a pen behind mine to help prevent the speaker being muffled.

No it can not be removed and i have been having problems connecting to the device.. Bluetooth volume is low an when directly attached it takes a few time to get it to play. When it does play it sounds great

There is an output jack hole that says "speaker out". I've tried to connect another speaker through there as well as another preamp and my attempts were unsuccesful. Maybe I was doing it wrong, but it could also be a cheap amplifier. The bluetooth rocks, though.

There is no area to attach a neck strap or any strap that I can see. The clip is quite large & it holds on quite firmly to your pocket making sure the mp3 is inside the pocket so you can't lose it but you can get to it easily. So I guess you can utilize the clip by attaching it to a neck strap as long as the strap wasn't to thick. I hope this was helpful.
