Integrating Beats headphones or earbuds into an iPhone should be straightforward, yet sometimes, it can become frustrating if they do not appear in your Bluetooth list.
Ensure your Beats headphones are powered on and have a healthy battery charge; their power light should flash to indicate they are in pairing mode.
1. Turn on the headphones
If your Beats wireless headphones are no longer connecting with your iPhone, try these quick troubleshooting tips to restore them. They should get them up and running again as soon as possible.
First, ensure your Beats headphones are activated and in pairing mode – to do this, press the power button until the light flashes on and off – then turn on your iPhone within a few feet of them and open the Bluetooth menu on it to locate Beats headset and select it for pairing; make sure the headset is set and that Bluetooth status says “Connected.” You can quickly switch Bluetooth on by either swiping up from the bottom on an iPhone 8+ (for iPhone X+ devices only) or by swiping down from the top on an iPhone X+ to switch it on – both ways are quick & easy steps to get connected quickly & turned on!
Maintain a battery level above 20% for optimal Bluetooth connection between your Beats headphones and an iPhone to avoid audio stuttering or disconnections due to low batteries.
Checking your wireless headphones’ signal strength can also be done within the Settings app within Music. If the signal strength is weak, move your Beats closer to your iPhone or switch Wi-Fi networks.
Near Field Communication (NFC) is another excellent feature of Beats headphones that makes life more straightforward on the go! Place them near your iPhone, tap their power button, and watch as the headphones connect with music streaming to them in seconds!
2. Turn on your iPhone
If your Beats headphones aren’t connecting with your iPhone, there are a few steps you can try to ensure they do so. First, ensure they’re on and in pairing mode (by pressing and holding their power button until an indicator light flashes on and off). Next, head into Settings on your phone, enable Bluetooth, and see if Beats appear among devices listed there – or check back here with more suggestions if necessary!
If your Beats headphones or earbuds aren’t connecting, there could be an issue with your iPhone’s Bluetooth connection. This can happen if other electronic devices interfere with its signal. Restarting your phone could also help restore connectivity issues; another alternative would be forgetting and reconnecting them in Bluetooth settings. You can do this by going into Settings on your iPhone and finding them before selecting from a list of devices.
Last but not least, update your iPhone software. This can often help resolve problems with Beats headphones or other Bluetooth devices. To do this, navigate to your settings and tap “General,” followed by “Software Update,” before following the instructions to download and install iOS 12.2.
If you are still having difficulties, Apple offers excellent customer support that can assist in walking you through additional steps until your issue has been solved.
3. Go to Settings
Beats wireless earphones and headphones are designed to pair with your iPhone through an easy process seamlessly. Before beginning the pairing process, ensure both devices are powered on and in Bluetooth-pairing mode – the Bluetooth LED on your Beats should light up when they’re ready to be paired!
To start the pairing process on an iPhone, open the Settings app and navigate to Bluetooth & Other Devices. From here, locate and select Beats in the list of available devices; enter their four-digit passcode if prompted. Once connected, they will be listed under Connected in the Bluetooth devices list on iPhone.
Your Beats may not be connecting to your iPhone for several reasons. First, ensure both devices are powered on and within range (usually less than 30 feet). Second, reset your Beats to remove any previous connections; third, restart your iPhone and Beats to eliminate any lingering issues.
An often-overlooked cause of Beats not syncing with your iPhone could be that the Bluetooth signal is too far away, such as being in another room or near other electronics, such as wireless routers and microwaves. To remedy this, move your Beats closer to your iPhone; or if this still does not work, try your phone’s Forget This Device feature to temporarily forget any connections with previous Beats connections and pair again later.
4. Select Bluetooth
If your Beats Studio, Solo, or Pro headphones won’t connect with your iPhone, you can try a few steps to help them work again. First of all, make sure they are powered on and in pairing mode; Powerbeats Wireless headphones have an LED light for this purpose on either their left earcup (Powerbeats Pro have one in its charging case) that flashes when pressed until its light flashes, then follow onscreen prompts to pair your headphones with your phone.
If your Beats headphones are still having difficulty connecting with your iPhone, they could be too far away from it. Bluetooth has an approximate 30-foot range, so keeping them within this distance may help; similarly, avoid placing them near any other Bluetooth devices like microwaves and wireless routers, as these may also interfere with connectivity issues.
Resetting your Beats may help remove any saved settings or pairings and return them to pairing mode. To reset, press and hold the power and volume-down buttons simultaneously until your iPhone displays “reset your device.” If none of these solutions work, hardware issues could be to blame; should this be the case, please get in touch with Beats customer support for assistance.
If your Beats headphones are still having difficulty connecting with your iPhone, it could be because they haven’t fully charged. To determine this status, tap on the power button, go into “Settings” or Bluetooth, and navigate to a list of paired devices where you will see your Beats listed as one of them – Turn On the Bluetooth switch, then select them from that list!
5. Select your headphones
Alternatively, if you want to listen to music with your Beats headphones without Bluetooth, one method that provides higher-quality sound than Bluetooth is directly connecting them to an iPhone. This eliminates audio compression through Bluetooth while giving you seamless portability – you don’t need wires!
To pair your Beats headphones to your iPhone, first, ensure they are in pairing mode by pressing their power button until a flashing light illuminates. Next, select your Beats from the list of Bluetooth devices on your iPhone and follow any on-screen instructions until it completes the connection process.
So sit back, wear those Beats headphones, and listen to your music! If any queries or suggestions arise, feel free to post below with them – we are more than happy to assist!
