Beats by Dr. Dre is a brand of headphones that are very popular in the audio-listening world. They are known for their stylish looks, bass enhancing features, and their tendency to break easily.
Many users have complained about the plastic cracking near the plug and on the back of the headphones. This is due to the way they are designed and manufactured, unfortunately.
Since the cables tend to break or fray, it is a good idea to know how to reset your Beats so that you can use them again. You can delete and reinstall the app or download another music app to use your headphones without any electronic components!
Beats offers two types of wireless headsets: Bluetooth and Wireless Direct.
Hold down the pause/play button for 10 seconds
If your Beats headphones are not working after a software update, you can try to reset the device. This will restore your headphones to their factory settings, so you will need to re-pair them with your device and re-download the app if necessary.
To do this, first make sure your phone is connected to Bluetooth and is set as the default audio source. Then, hold down the pause/play button for about ten seconds until you see a flashing red and blue light.
At this point, you can let go of the button and it will reset. It may take a few seconds for it to reset, so be patient! Once it flashes white twice, it is ready to use again.
This process works for all models of Beats headphones except for PowerBeats3 Wireless Earphones which need to be turned off and on again using the power button.
Hold down the volume up button for 10 seconds
If your headphones are acting up and you think it may be a problem with the Bluetooth connection, you can try to reset the connection.
To do this, hold down the volume up button for about ten seconds. While holding down the volume up button, connect your headphones to your phone or device and then disconnect them. You can also do it vice versa.
It can take a few tries to get it right, but when you do, the audio will come back on. This works because you are re-establishing the connection to the Bluetooth module in the headphones.
If this does not work, try doing a full reset of the headphones. To do this, you will need to take out some screws and then re-set some programming codes within the headphones.
Hold down the volume down button for 10 seconds
If your headphones are not responding to taps or the volume is not changing, you can try a quick reset. You will need to hold down the volume down button for about 10 seconds.
While holding down the volume down button, also hold down the power button for a few seconds until you hear a beep. Your headphones should respond immediately as it resets.
If this does not work, try restarting your phone and then trying the hold time for the volume down button again. If that still does not work, your headphones may need to be replaced.
It is important to note that this reset only resets internal software settings. It does not delete music or alter your settings like Noise cancellation or EQ settings.
Restart your device and reset your Beats headphones at the same time
If your phone and headphones are paired together, the issue may be with the phone or the connection to the headphones.
To test this, you can try to reset your headphones by holding the power button for a few seconds until you hear a beep and then pressing it again. If this does not work, try holding down the headphone button for a few seconds until you hear a beep and then pressing it again.
If this does not work, try restarting your phone and then re-pairing your phone with your Beats headphones. If that does not work, you may have to re-buy them or get new ones since there is something wrong with the hardware.
Make sure to check if your device is up to date and if there are any updates that might fix the issue.
Plug your Beats back into their charger and hold the power button for 5 seconds
If your Beats won’t turn on after trying the above steps, try resetting the device. You can do this by holding the power button for 5 seconds while they are plugged into the charger.
This will delete any stored memory and reset the device to its original state. Once it resets, it should turn on again.
It is possible to reset your Beats Solo3, Studio3, Pro3, and Mixr headphones using this method. Unfortunately, this does not work for Powerbeats 3 headphones. You must take them to an authorized service provider to have them reset.
If you’re having trouble with your Beats wired or wireless headphones, here’s how to restart them. First, make sure they’re charged and then press and hold down the power button for 5 seconds until you hear a quick beep followed by silence.
Take the battery out of your Beats headset
If you have a pair of Beats headphones and you’re having trouble with the Bluetooth or the audio quality, you can try resetting them.
To do this, you will need to remove the battery from the inside of the headset. This process takes a few minutes and is very easy to do.
You will need a small paper–clip like device to remove the battery and put it back in. Once removed, hold down the power button for about 30 seconds and then reinsert the battery.
Then, turn on your Bluetooth and pair your device to your headset. If your headset is still not working properly, try doing this process again. It may fix any issues you are having!
Make sure to keep your battery in a safe place so that you can re-insert it when turning your Beats back on.
Put the battery back in and set it up again
If you have lost the battery or have a battery that will no longer hold a charge, there is still a way to use your headphones.
You will need to purchase a new battery and follow the instructions to install it. Once it is in, you will need to set up your Beats again using the Bluetooth settings on your device and computer or phone.
This process may seem complicated, but it is very possible for anyone to do. You just need to be careful with the wires and the batter installation.
It may take you a few tries to get it right, but once it is connected, your headphones are good to go!
Resetting Beats Headphones is an easy way to get back into using them if you have lost the Bluetooth connection between them and devices.
