Bluetooth and your device

Apple iOS

  1. Go to Settings > Bluetooth.
  2. Move the Bluetooth slider to On.
  3. A list of Bluetooth devices will appear.
  4. Tap your Beats product in the list to connect.

Bluetooth troubleshooting

Bluetooth works through a short-distance radio transmission, so it’s not uncommon for audio to get a little fuzzy at times. Here’s how to fix it:

To test or improve sound

  • Place both devices within 30 feet, or closer.
  • Move both devices away from other Bluetooth devices, microwaves, wireless routers and other electronics.
  • Ensure your Beats and Bluetooth device are charged and turned on.
  • Increase the volume on your Beats and the paired Bluetooth device.
  • Go to sound settings on your device and select your Beats as the input/output device (Mac) or as the playback/recording device (PC).
You can also try pairing your Beats with your Bluetooth device again.

Sound troubleshooting–headphones and earphones

1.

Snapping, crackling, popping, or no audio on one side

  1. Make sure the 3.5 mm audio jack is fully plugged in. The straight input connects to your headset, and the L-shaped input connects to your audio device.
  2. Check that your audio source is on and working.
  3. If your audio source is a computer or laptop, try adjusting the configuration settings.
  4. If you still hear distorted sound, try a different audio source and an alternate cable.

Volume too high

Turn the source volume down. 3.

Phone not responding to button presses

Make sure that the headset plug is securely connected. For multi-press functions, vary the speed of presses when you use the remote/mic. 4.

Compatibility issues

Remember to install the latest software updates on your device. The inline remote/mic may have limited functionality with devices that don’t run iOS. 5.

Microphone does not pick up sound

  • Make sure that the headset plug is securely connected and that the socket is clean and clear.
  • Check that the microphone—located on the back of the remote—isn’t blocked or covered.
  • Make sure the straight-end of the plug is connected to the headphones and the angled L-shaped plug is connected to the audio source.
  • If you’re using your Beats with a computer, make sure that your computer microphone is set to the correct input source.

Clean and store your Beats earphones or headphones

1.

Clean your Beats

  • Never wear in-ear headphones if they appear dirty. Keep your eartips clean.
  • Use a dry cleaning cloth to wipe away dust and oil. Don’t use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives.
2.

Take care of your Beats

  • Avoid exposing your Beats headphones or earphones to liquids or high humidity.
  • To disconnect headphones or earphones from your music player, grasp the plug and pull. Never pull on the cable itself.
3.

Store your Beats

  • Store your headphones or earphones in the protective case that’s provided.
  • Don’t store other items in the case.
  • Store your Beats in a clean, dry place. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or in extreme heat or cold
