Just bought these brand new and the cushion seems recessed and out of place. Is this a defect or is this normal? Should I return?

Gym Headphones

HI,

I recently broke my Beats Solo 3(they were good enough for me) I need to buy a new pair of headphones to use at the gym to connect to my Iphone 13. I'm undecided between the Beats Solo 4 and the Marshall Major V. Which are the best between the two? (I mainly listen to rap music) Does the Marshall perform less with the IOS operating system? Budget between 100-200€

Beats Studio Buds + red light

I bought a pair of Studio Buds + last week and the case is giving me a red light, does anyone know what this means? They’re about 90% charged so it’s not the battery.

Audio quality

If your looking for headphones that showcase musical quality. Every piano key, every guitar string, every vocal chord... these aren't it . I got the 350$ studio pro ones.

Really need some input here...

So I bought a pair of Fit Pros, had connectivity issues with just my right earbud. It is completely blank, no sound, registers with the app/charge box when I take it in and out of its charge port, but it won't play any sound. I tried all normal troubleshoots to no success. Then I spoke with a clerk at Best Buy, he said this happens maybe 3 times per 100 set of headphones. I get a new set, and the same thing is happening. So it is not the headphones, it is my phone or it's blue tooth I believe. I completely reset and unpair my earbuds, reconnect, no success. My firmware is completely up to date. I own a newer Samsung Galaxy s24 Ultra. Please help! Thank you kindly, desperate to make these work.

My Beats Solo 4 won’t work, please help.

I was watching a video when my beats randomly turned off, so I turned them back on to reconnect them it worked, but then the instantly turned off again and this kept happening three times so I finally reset them that didn’t fix the issue. They were still doing the same thing so I forgot the device in settings then turn them on again and it was doing the same issue again then I reset them again. And now they won’t even turn on what do I do?

Left ear bud won’t connect?

Hi everyone,

I bought my boyfriend a pair of beats fit pro but when he puts both of them in his ear, the left one won’t connect and disappears from the screen as if the left one isn’t there anymore.

When we put it in the charger it says 100% and then when we pick it up, it vanishes and only connects to the right ear.

Has anyone had this problem? We have tried to reset it but it only blinks white, we reset the phone, everything is updated.

If anyone has any tips? Thanks!

Are my headphones broken?

About an 2 or so hours ago my left earphone started making a static type of noise. It's not loud, as a matter of fact if I play my music loud enough I can't hear it, but it's annoying. Now about 5 minutes ago, they sounded like, what I could best equate it to, an empty record player: it has that ambient staticy sound, with rustling/popping sounds. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6vdw3yO4JBg this link helps the most with my description.

Has anybody else ran into this issue? Is there a solution?

A few things of note, 1). My headphones in specific are the studio pro bluetooth, and 2). I've had them for about a year (I can't see how that'd be an issue, my last pair lasted 5 years before I accidentally snapped them in half).

What model of beats should I purchase?

I purchased studio pro before, but they don’t work with SharePlay. Which ones should I purchase that would work with SharePlay and have noise cancellation?

Urgent Help Needed: Beats Solo 3 Won’t Turn On or Work Properly

A few days ago, I ran into a problem with my Beats Solo 3 headphones. They wouldn’t turn off no matter what I tried. I searched for quick fixes, but none worked. Specifically, these methods failed:

  1. Plugging the headphones into a charger and holding the power button for 20 seconds.
  2. Holding the power button and volume down for 10 seconds.

I then tried using an AUX cable I had lying around. It didn’t fit initially, so I trimmed it down. It worked for a few hours, but when I placed the headphones down and came back later, only one side was functioning. Adjusting the wire (very carefully and randomly) temporarily fixes it, but even the slightest movement causes them to either mute or stop working entirely.

Now, the headphones won’t turn on at all. They’re charged (around 80%), so I know that’s not the issue. Unfortunately, I can’t drain the battery to 0 and recharge because they won’t turn on in the first place.

These headphones were a gift from a family member a few months ago, and I can’t afford to tell them they’re broken—it would really disappoint them. I don’t have AppleCare+ and can’t take them to an Apple repair shop. Any solution you recommend should be something I can do at home. I’m offering a $20 Visa gift card as a thank-you to anyone who can provide a working solution (I’ll DM you if it works).

For reference:

  • I use Windows 10.
  • The headphones are Beats Solo 3.

Any help would be massively appreciated!

I do not have apple care+ and cannot take them to an apple repairshop, any solution you recommend should be able to be done at home

Beats Studio Buds - Left bud not working

Hi!

I just bought these yesterday on Black Friday and I am running into countless issues. First I took me a whole day to finally get them to pair. It was a real pain. Now I’ve finally paired them and the left bud won’t work. Is there a way to fix this? They’re brand new and I have not used them yet.

I’m considering the Solo Pro, Powerbeats Pro, or maybe the Beats Studio 3. Do you think Beats will have major discounts this year, or should I be looking at other times of the year? Any tips on where to get the best deals? 🎧🛍️

update - I've looked into the best Beats headphones Black Friday offers, and here’s a breakdown of the best deals available:

Beats Studio Pro lossless with iPhone 14 lightning?

I just bought studio pros under the impression that lossless would work with lightning to 3.5mm. Apparently it has to use the USB C? What’s the work around here? This is frustrating. What is the point of even having the 3.5mm jack? Using with otherwise incompatible devices?

Solo buds good?

Looking for new wireless buds and found Solo Buds.

For me I don't need much. And dont want to spend way too much on this one item either since I just use it while cleaning my place or while I'm on the plane and airport. Specs like transparency or noise cancellation aren't a big deal for me either. I'm using Samsung for mobile device.

Just want to make sure the battery last and the device is durable. Also I know the case doesn't have battery. But 18hours battery life for the buds should cover that right?

Thank you very much.

Dolby Atmos VS Losless - ON or OFF?

So recently I bought a pair of Beats Solo 4's, and I already know through Bluetooth I do not get Lossless, so on my iPhone I just default to Dolby, fine, whatever, I don't have enough storage on my iPhone for all of that anyways - however on my iPad (it has more storage) I downloaded my library in Hi-Res Lossless, but I was wondering, should I also turn Dolby Atmos off on my iPad since I am using the USB connection for Hi-Res Lossless?

[Beats FP] Right earbud not communicating

My left earbud has transparency and the right earbud is only receiving music, but it seems to be in the off mode. I try using the "Noise cancellation with one earbud" setting but the right earbud isn't using the noise cancellation or the transparency mode. The app thinks I'm not wearing the earbud but I am. My earbud has a good fit.

My microphone setting is on Automatic. I'm on the latest firmware. I've already tried resetting, restarting and cleaning the sensors on the malfunctioning earbud.

Is this a connectivity issue or a hardware issue? What do I do?

Beats Pill Stereo

I bought one of the new Beats Pills (red) months ago and I’ve been very happy with it. I was curious about the “stereo mode” that you can have with two PIlls. Amazon had Pills on Sale for $99 for Black Friday week. So I bought a second one (dark grey, Kim Kardashian version). Wow! I put them on stereo mode, then cranked up Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love”, and it was amazing! Definitely worth getting the second Pill.
