    What is going on with Beats?

    The leaks about new Beats are unusual. Beats Studio Buds Plus are in between 2 products. Beats Studio Buds, and Beats Fit Pro. The idea of some new Beats Studio Pro headphones makes sense. I think there will be multiple new headphones in the next 2 years. (This is not a leak.) However, most of...

    Issues with bluetooth

    Hi, I am having a weird issue with my wireless beats headphones. On my MacBook pro I have two accounts set up, one is synced to my headphones, the other is not. If I have logged into the second account and switch back to the main account, the account no longer recognizes the headphones...

    Beats Solo 3 Won't Power On With Audio Cable Plugged In

    Am I missing something, or are these Beats Solo 3's defective? When I plug in a 3.5mm audio cable (tried two) the Beats will not turn on. If they are already on, they turn off upon inserting the plug. They are brand new. (They don't come with their own cable.) This happens whether or not the...

    All Devices PSA: Do NOT Use Live Listen w/ Beats Solo Pro

    I just got my Beats Solo Pro two hours ago and I LOVE them so far. However, I came across a major issue that I suspect is software related. I wanted to test out the Live Listen feature (which you can enable from the Control Center) with the Beats Solo Pro. I’ve only tested this feature out with...

    Powerbeats Pro battery drain

    Is anyone else experiencing this? I turn off the music, put the earphones on my work desk, came back 1 hour later, the battery drained 10%. Tested this multiple times, it appears 10% battery loss about every hour even in sleep mode. Feels like it's draining a lot during sleep mode.

    Powerbeats Pro - In Store Colors?

    I know that the buds will only be sold in black today / at release, but... will stores have other colors on display, and/or available to be worn? This goes out to those who’ve been to an Apple Store today, or otherwise checked... I’m near Apple’s SF Union Square Store btw

    Beats Warranty Repair

    I took my Beats Solo 3 in for repair last week as the glue to hold the rubber piece to the rest of the headband was coming loose. My headphones still had a 1-year warranty. I returned to the store today to collect my headphones and found that they had been replaced instead. Just curious, would...

    Beats by Dre replacement cable alternatives?

    I'm just wondering if you can use any audio cable to replace the one I had, even if it wasn't manufactured by the same company - just as long as the dimensions are the same (I hope I'm right in assuming both ends are 3.5 mm) and they work as well quality-wise.

    BeatsX battery life

    Fully charged my BeatsX on Friday evening, and shut off them right away. Picked them up this morning and they were at 97%. So they lost 3% while shut over a 28-30-hour period. This morning I used them for my gym session and here's what I got out of them. 8:52 AM - 94% 9:12 AM - 90% (4% in 10...

    Has anyone been able to pair their W1-equipped Beats to non-Apple devices?

    I recently picked up a pair of Beats Solo 3 wireless headphones and I love them. They sound great and it's super convenient switching them out with all my apple products. But I also have a Samsung 4K TV that has the option to output sound via Bluetooth that I'd like to pair them with, but when...

    Beats X Not Coming Until February 2017?

    I registered for updates on Beats Product Availability, and just received an email update from Beats with the subject line: "BeatsX — Coming this February" Februrary? Seriously? What a joke at this point.

    Black Friday / Cyber Monday Deals?

    Hello Fellow Apple Fans, I am about to purchase a new 15" MBP and get rid of my Uni-body Late 2008 MBP. I will be purchasing the computer using an education discount. I was wondering if historically apple has offered discounts around Black Friday / Cyber Monday or even Christmas, as they do...
