If you’re not satisfied with the banging bass blasting out of your Beats headphones, you might soon be able to take them to the Genius Bar for a tune up.

Apple notified its service providers this morning that they will soon be responsible for offering post-sales support on all Beats headphones and speakers, according to an email obtained by TechInGreek, indicating Apple retail stores will be adding Beats support in the near future.

Here’s the note sent to official Apple Service Providers:

Apple acquired Beats earlier this year for $3 billion, and while there have been rumors that the Beats Music service will be rebranded soon, the move to provide support for Beats headphones and speakers in stores shows Apple plans to deeply integrate the popular headphone brand into its services.

The email doesn’t list a specific date for Beats support, but Apple has given the headphone lineup prime space in its retail stores. Apple also removed all of Bose’s competing products in an effort to increase sales, after Bose had the NFL ban Beats from making appearances at games.
