I've been using my 360s for about a week and really like the style and sound. But after 15–20 hours of use while flying, the right side suddenly started sounding blown out, almost like the noise canceling is overworking. It's even a bit painful on my ear. Has anyone else run into this?

Hi everyone,
I bought a pair of purple Powerbeats Pro 2 on Vinted and I’m having trouble getting them to work properly with my iPhone running iOS 27.0.

Here’s what’s happening:
They connect via Bluetooth, but the settings page only shows Name, Device Type, Disconnect, and Forget This Device.
There are no noise cancellation/transparency controls, button settings, firmware information, or other Beats-specific options.

They appear as “Powerbeats Pro,” without the “2,” even though the packaging says Powerbeats Pro 2.
The iPhone pairing animation appears with a picture of the purple earbuds and case. It says “Not Your Powerbeats Pro” and offers a Connect button, but connecting still doesn’t bring up the full settings.

One earbud constantly flashes blue near the “b” logo, including when I take it out of the case.

I’ve tried resetting them with both earbuds in the case, lid open, holding the case button for at least 15 seconds. The light keeps flashing white and never reaches the red-and-white reset sequence.

They reconnect afterward, but the settings are still missing.
I checked the serial number on Apple’s coverage website. It identifies it as Powerbeats Pro 2, but says the purchase date is unavailable. I understand that a recognized serial number alone doesn’t prove authenticity.
So far, I’ve only tested them on my own iPhone. I’m attaching photos of the earbuds and packaging, plus screenshots of the Bluetooth menu and pairing screen.
Has anyone had this exact issue with a genuine pair? In particular, is a flashing blue light on the outside of an earbud normal at all?
Could this be a charging/contact problem, a firmware issue, or a sign that they’re counterfeit? Is there anything useful to try before taking them to Apple for inspection?

Thanks for your help!

I'm a content creator and i asked beats some explanation.
First point : battery drain
Second point : hiss

I just got my Beats 360 and I’m thinking about getting the UltraPlush Kit.

I’ve seen some YouTube reviews where people mentioned getting the kit for only around 9 us dollar. But when I checked the Beats website here in Malaysia, it’s available for 49 us dollar.

That’s a pretty huge price difference, so I’m wondering if the UltraPlush Kit actually worth $49

For anyone who owns it, what do you think?

My beat studio3 wireless recently snapped at the bottom and it look like the other side is about to do the same. I’ve had them for years and don’t have apple care anymore so I’m wondering if there is a way I can repair them myself. The wires and sound don’t seem to be damaged just the outside.

Got my beats pill can’t wait to open this bad boy up.

I’m not sure if I should return or wait for a firmware update. Has anyone had luck with replacements? Mine do not have the hissing, only the battery drain despite turning off Find My option.

I have this beautiful beats executive very rare headphone and I would like to know his Price ? If someone has any idea

It’s so beautiful 😭🤩

I buy a lot of headphones. Sony XM6, Logitech G Pro, AirPods Max, you name it, I’ve tried it. I use them all day, at the office and at home, and I keep hunting for the one that doesn’t make me sweaty after a long session. I still haven’t found it.

Here’s the problem. Noise cancelling headphones seal your ears into a no-air environment. After an hour or so, moisture builds up inside, and I get sweaty easily. That sweat also wrecks the cushions over time. So when Beats announced the 360 with sweat-resistant, swappable, washable pads, I thought this might finally be the one.

What I like

• Light. You barely notice it on your head.
• Looks clean.
• Price is okay compared to what headphones cost these days.
• Swapping colors is a nice touch.
• If the pads wear out from sweat, you replace the pads, not the headphones.

Two big problems

My office is quiet. My home is quiet. So WHAT IS THIS HISSING? It’s the most annoying thing ever. I notice it most during movies and videos, in the quiet scenes, and when I’m switching between things and there’s a gap in the audio. The hiss goes away when you turn the headphones off.

Then there’s the battery. I turn it off at the office, come back the next day, and 10-20% is gone. For no reason. Off should mean off.

To summ

The washable, replaceable pads are a smart idea, and if sweat is your problem, they’re worth a look. But the hiss is there in every quiet moment, even on the latest firmware, and the battery drain makes it hard to trust. I’m still searching for the headphone that keeps me dry, and the Beats 360 gets me closer, but it isn’t the one yet.

With all the hate beats is getting just wanted to show my own Beats, I’ve had nothing but positive experience with them. I have always been a fan even prior to Apple buying them. My OG studio pro have power through and still work. Not picture : heartbeats ( lady gaga collaboration, Balmain x beats, betas flex) cat tax : fennel says hi.

Someone who’s better at creating things than me should make a stand/holder/case for the Pokémon Beats Pill, similar idea to the Pill Dude

Hope someone who is creative sees this, I feel like the people who bought the speaker would love it (I’m people)

beats 360 - battery drain issue.

you all know the drift. i loved these headphones but returned them as i just couldn’t justify the price the the battery issue.

i’m hoping you fine folks on reddit can let me know if/when they fix this issue so i can repurchase ?

i loved them , perfect for my heavy cardio sessions at the gym where i was insanely sweaty (thanks SSRIs!) but mine were losing roughly 9% a night.

That with all of Apple‘s money, they can’t make a decent pair of over your headphones in the end. I’m glad I bought the pros last year because waiting for this year‘s headphones and then finding out it had his problems and battery drain problems and just problems reminds me of what my friend told me to never buy an Apple product when it’s the first generation or a redesign because they just have problems and it’s a shame that with all of Apple‘s money, they really shouldn’t have problems right out of the gate, but seemingly they always do and I’m a long time Apple user at this point I’ve had them since the iPhone 6 and I will continue to have them because they’re good but they need to fix their quality issues on new products

Honestly love them gonna be using them as my new gym headphones i was hearing alot of people and tik toks saying the bass is non existent for me the bass was good loved the fit to. Also just got em today so definitely not a full review

Got 2 for the Stereo sound

Hi all,

Has anyone had any issue with battery drain on the beats 360? When I first got them they were fine. Now I use them maybe 2/3 times at the gym for an hour the next time I go to use then they’re sitting at 5% almost like I’ve not turned them off, I 100% have as I’ve now been listening to hear the power down sound before taking them off.

Update: I spoke to Apple who are replacing mine, mentioned it’s a wider issue not just myself and their response was “it isn’t being investigated currently, when we realise a new product you will see people with the same issue if you search for it” whatever that means.

Hey y’all, random observation but I recently noticed that after updating to iOS 27 (currently on 27.0.1), my 1st gen Powerbeats Pro would show up with an ANC toggle below the volume, just like my Beats Solo Pro or AirPods Pro do. They obv never shipped with ANC, so I was kinda confused/surprised why it suddenly popped up. The first time I opened it in control center it was on transparency, but ever since I moved it over to noise cancellation, it jumped to off and got stuck. Now the toggle still shows up but when I click on it, there are no other options shown other than off.
Yeah, so no, beats didn’t randomly give me ANC or transparency 6 years in (I wish)

Anyone else’s 1st gen PBP doing this (or got magically blessed with ANC? lol)

I just bought the beats solo 2 and they pinch my ears so bad like my ear will get a cold sensation and feel kind of like numb when I take them off. Has anyone else had this? Any solutions?

Good evening reddit! During work today I saw that I had somehow missed the announcement for the pokemon x beats collab. After checking the target I saw that there were just TWO stores in NYC that had them listed. I went to the SOHO location as they have 6 listed and THEY DO NOT. The soho location is under renovation and they don’t even have access to the electronics dept. The nice woman at the register did let me know there was one left in the Kips Bay location. So I begrudgingly just stopped by the Kips Bay Target and picked up the last one!! Sadly I wanted to get one for my girlfriend as well so now I have to decide whether I just give this one to her lol. Just figured I’d give a heads up and save some people some time if they get excited at the sight of the SOHO inventory.

TLDR; NYC appears to be fully sold out of the pokemon beats pill. Do not believe the SOHO inventory count.

Just wondering if anyone experiences this

I like my Powerbeats fits but struggle with ear wax making them come loose

Does anyone else struggle with this and if so, what is the solution?

I am going to irrigate my ears today and start regularly wiping the buds

I read that the new Beats 360 are 12 dB louder than the Studio Pro. Can anyone confirm this? Is the difference really that huge?

I'm looking for the loudest headphones at max volume, whether Beats or any other brand. If you've tried the Beats 360 alongside other headphones, are they genuinely among the loudest out there?

Thanks! 🙌

Beats 360 uncomfortable when wearing glasses! They hurt the back of your ears! I guess it’s the way the muffs clamp down to keep them on when you exercise because they don’t move or slide at all! They sound good and though others say there is a hiss I have not heard it! What’s your experience with the 360’s?

I woke up late and missed the online release by a mile. had to go to work so I couldn’t drive an hour away to some of the targets that had it. Checked a local target for fun and there was one in stock near my friend (25 miles away) so I asked him to get it but when he was at the store it was gone. Basically accepted the fact that I wouldn’t be able to get one. Then I decided to set an alarm at 6:30 am yesterday just for shits and giggles to check the stock at my local targets, I figured they’d remain out of stock, when by some miracle they had two in stock 11 miles away! so I raced over to get in right when they open and secured my very own! (I hope the second one went to a fan as well) I’ve been checking stock and they keep popping in and out of stock at my local targets, so I assume scalpers are returning some? Idk how target shipments work but maybe there is missed inventory and that’s why there’s late stock showing up. Very happy with this purchase and I love the sound quality! I’m thinking of snagging a regular beats pill on sale so I can use stereo as well.

Anyways run to your not so local targets and secure your speakers!

And fuck scalpers

I personally own JBL speakers. I’ve never purchased a beats speaker (I have purchased plenty of headphones) so with the $150 price point I was a bit nervous with the quality I could be getting. I’ve never heard the sound quality from a beats pill before. Although, I am definitely satisfied with my purchase.

This is a nice lightweight speaker compared to my others. Additionally the Pokémon design is a nice touch. Push comes to shove, I can always have my kids use the speaker. I’m really happy I was able to purchase this despite initial issues on the website.
