Quick Answer
Yes. The Braun 7880cc replacement head is 70S replacement cassette. Before ordering, match the full model or type number and check the marking on your old cassette or manual. Do not substitute a 73S or 74S head simply because the shaver is also labeled Series 7.

Does the 70S Head Fit the Braun 7880cc?
The 70S replacement cassette is the correct replacement-head family for the Braun 7880cc. The model number identifies the shaver, while 70S identifies the removable foil-and-cutter cassette that fits it.
Braun uses the Series 7 name across more than one shaver generation, so the words “Series 7” alone do not identify the right cassette. Braun’s Series 7 support page lists the 7880cc among its supported Series 7 models. The safest purchase check is still the complete model or type number plus the code on the cassette you are replacing.
How to Confirm Your Braun 7880cc Before Ordering
Use these checks before selecting a replacement head:
- Read the full model number. Look on the shaver handle, rating label, original manual, or a previous order. Confirm that it says 7880cc rather than a similar-looking Series 7 reference.
- Inspect the old cassette. A visible 70S marking is a direct like-for-like match. If the marking is worn away, keep the cassette for a shape and connector comparison.
- Check the manual or parts record. The manual or a verified replacement-parts record can confirm the head family when the label is difficult to read.
- Compare the underside. Check the side tabs, latch points, lower frame, and way the cassette sits on the shaver mount. Do not choose by color alone.
If your model label and old cassette point to different head families, pause before ordering. Resolve the model or part-number conflict instead of forcing a close-looking cassette.
Braun 7880cc Compatibility Check
| What you can verify | Fit decision | Buying action |
|---|---|---|
| The shaver is a Braun 7880cc | 70S is the compatible replacement family | Choose a 70S replacement cassette |
| The old cassette is marked 70S | Direct match | Replace it with a 70S cassette |
| The model is 7880cc but the old code is missing | Use the 70S path and verify the full model or type number | Compare the old and new cassette connectors before use |
| The old cassette is marked 73S or 74S | This conflicts with the 7880cc-to-70S fit | Stop and verify the model, manual, and replacement listing |
| You only know that the shaver is “Series 7” | Not enough information | Identify the full model or old cassette code first |
| The shaver is Series 3, Series 5, Series 6, Series 8, or Series 9 | Not a 7880cc/70S fit | Use the replacement-head family for that shaver series |
The 70S path is for the 7880cc fit confirmed above. It should not be used as a general replacement for every Braun Series 7 shaver.
70S vs. 73S: Why the Numbers Matter
70S and 73S are different Series 7 cassette families. A newer Series 7 shaver can use a 73S or 74S-style head, while the Braun 7880cc uses the 70S path confirmed in this guide.
Do not substitute one family because the cassette looks close, the shaver is the same color, or both listings mention Series 7. For a broader side-by-side explanation, see Braun 70S vs 73S.
Final Fit Check Before You Shave
A 70S cassette replaces the removable foil-and-cutter assembly on top of the shaver. It does not repair a weak battery, slow motor, charging fault, or damaged head mount.
After ordering, use this short check:
- Turn the 7880cc off and remove it from the charger.
- Compare the old and new cassette tabs, underside shape, and printed code.
- Align the 70S cassette squarely and press both sides evenly.
- Stop if it sits crooked, remains loose, blocks the floating head, or needs excessive force.

The replacement head sold through ShaversHead should be described as a compatible replacement unless the product listing specifically states genuine Braun status. Braun is a trademark of its respective owner; compatibility wording does not imply that the replacement head is made by Braun.
Once the model and cassette code are confirmed, use the Braun Series 7 replacement head page and select the 70S option that matches your 7880cc.
FAQ
Does a 70S replacement head fit the Braun 7880cc?
Yes. The Braun 7880cc uses the 70S replacement-head family. Confirm the full model or type number and compare the old cassette before ordering.
Is the Braun 7880cc a Series 7 shaver?
Yes. Braun’s support selector lists the 7880cc among its Series 7 models. The Series 7 label is not enough to identify every replacement cassette, so use the full model and old head code.
Can I use a 73S head on a Braun 7880cc?
Do not substitute a 73S or 74S cassette for the 70S path confirmed for the 7880cc. These are different Series 7 head families. Check your manual or the old cassette if the markings disagree.
How do I find the model number if the label is worn?
Check the handle, rating label, cleaning-station label, original manual, previous order, or saved product receipt. If the model is still unclear, identify the code on the old cassette before buying.
Is a compatible 70S head a genuine Braun part?
Not unless the product listing specifically says it is a genuine Braun original part. A compatible replacement head is made to fit supported shaver models and should not be presented as official Braun equipment.
What should I do if the replacement head will not click on?
Do not force it. Remove the cassette, confirm the 7880cc and 70S match, inspect the connector tabs, clean the mount, and reinstall it evenly. If the old cassette also will not lock, inspect the shaver mount for damage.
