I love my PowerBeats Pros when they work.. Unfortunately, that's now only about 40 minutes before one of them disconnects and then suddenly drains 30% battery charge. I have no idea what caused this, but it's been a problem for a few weeks now. This is beyond frustrating with a product that costs hundreds of dollars. I'm lucky to get 50 mins of activity out these things now; please fix it!
Constantly disconnecting. No other BT devices around. Powerbeats Pro. Have to close the app, take out, put in case, close, wait, open case, wait to connect, then put in I use these for work and working out. Disconnections seem random. Happening for several months now. For the price they should be staying connected without issue.
Norton says that there is an issue with the app and every once in awhile the head set cuts out when I am talking to someone so I miss part of the conversation and I haven't seen any updates since I had the set. I like the length of the talk time that it gives you but apple does need to do something about the cutting out issue and if they don't that shows me they don't care about their quality of their products
The pretty great, no major or minor problems with the app. Suggestions would be to add bass, dynamics, treble adjustments, etc. I never had a problem with the headphones or app at this time of writing, therefore they deserve this 5 stars rating for working seamlessly.
I've had my beat pro for well over 6 months. It started off great, I would pull it out the case, and it would connect automatically with either or both earbuds. Over the last 2 months I now have to manually connect them each time, sometimes it says unable, and I will retry. Then if I had my right ear bud in, the left won't connect unless I push the button to respond. The sound quality isn't the same on both. I've uninstalled the app, unpaired and still no avail. Should've stuck to Sony.
After reading other complaints here, I realized I was not doing anything wrong. Earbuds constantly disconnect. App doesn't recognize my buds and won't let me reconnect. After deleting and reinstalling the app, I'm still having the same issue. I'm using the Earbuds on a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. When they do work, the sound quality is great.
Why is the default transparency??? Would you like a tinny slightly delayed audio piped in? No? Too bad, every time buds have a connection interruption or nothing is playing, it goes to the worst mode it has. Meaning you have to open the app to get back to noise canceling. Please let me select my own default mode. One has to open the app to get to noise canceling mode but you can get between the other modes just by holding the button. So in summary, the hardware works fine.
I'm not sure if it's just my phone (OnePlus 8T), or possibly Android in general, but once I pair my Beats Studio Buds, the app works with my device normally for a few hours, and then stops detecting my beats. My Bluetooth lists shows them fine, and I can still check the battery life there, but in app, nothing appears under "My Beats". The only fix I've noticed so far, is to unpair them, and repair, and even then, it doesn't always work. Otherwise, the products are good and work well.
My beats pro have been working ok for a while since I last had them replaced by Apple for other issues, but the past few months I've been having the same pairing issue as I'm seeing reported in the other reviews. They struggle to connect when first taking them out of the case and even if I can get them to connect ok they will just randomly unpair during use. Nothing changes on the bluetooth or with my phones signal, and the buds and case are fully charged, but the headphones just cut out for no reason. Then trying to unpair and re-pair them becomes a struggle as well as they fail or are "undetectable" over and over. Eventually they will pair again and work just fine for a little until they decide to randomly disconnect again. A patch for this issue is needed, my Samsung earbuds have none of these issues, I just unfortunately ended up having to get Beats due to the battery life for long hikes. I can't wait for someone else to put out an earphone that will rival the battery life of these POS Beats so I can get rid of the only Apple product I have ever, and will ever buy. Straight up garbage.
I'm not sure what the issue is, but now my beat pros automatically disconnects, never auto connects anymore, etc. I never had this issue before when I had my previous pair that I gave my son. Now I have a new pair that is not even a month old and it is just beyond horrible.
My Beats Fit Pro earbuds are great. The app is terrible. It crashes most times when opened. Sometimes I'll get to click on a setting before it crashes. I've reinstalled the app and even reset the earbuds with no change.
Had a lot of difficulty to update and seemed to straight up refuse to almost as if there was infact no update pending. Also a really limited customization Would love to have more control over the quick binds for the buttons especially involving some divergence between left and right ear
Terrible. I am not forsure if it has to do with having an Android but constantly force closes and the ear phones are absolutely ridiculous with the amount of issues I have. Its even more upsetting because for the price I shouldn't have this many problems. Really let down.
beats fit pro are great in a lot of ways, they also have a few short falls. i enjoy the sound and the way they stay in my ears. the app for android is straight garbage. The android connection is terrrible the samsung buds mimics the experience i expect the fit pro work with apple. if i could an alternative that was in a happy relationship with the android envirenment with the same fit and sound, I would have made another decision. Hopefully, updates will continue for improvements. Hope so
Doesn't connect and show the beats status even though the phone audio is connected and actively using the beats for audio. Beats headset is also not compatible with many apps for controlling using the headset buttons.
Absolute trash, since I go to the gym 5 to 6 days a week I can talk from experience I have such a hard time connecting my studio and power beats these to my cell phone which is a Samsung. Plus it doesn't show me the battery percentages on the powerbeats which make it interesting every time I go to use them making me always got to have the backup pair. For how pricey headphones are there's definitely way better value elsewhere
Just purchased a few weeks ago and wasn't able to get them working. Picked up today to try and getting them paired and working and it intermittently connects, but mostly couldn't connect. Returning!!!
They are very good nice. They work good for a little bit then start messing up and disconnect from the Bluetooth. You just got to get better at using them get more experience with the beats.
Beats Fit Pro: First time with the beats app. It's not bad, few improvements needed. The noise cancellation in general is decent but regardless of having it on or on full transparency, I'd expect it automatically to kick in when on a call (like Samsung buds from years ago). The buds are a little glitchy not recognising when you put in another bud from time to time so only one bud continues to work. Besides that, the bass is perfect for me and the fit is comfortable - the reason I bought them!
Trash software on android, calling this android compatible is like saying a size 12 shoe fits me when I'm size 6. Sure I can wiggle my toes, maybe lift my foot up, but my foot will keep slipping out. Same as with the connection on my powerbeats pro. I just want to watch a YouTube video man without having it pause from time to time because it's adjusting the audio connection. Or for some reason switching audio to the right ear bud only and then back to both...
I recently got the Studio Buds as a gift and downloaded the app to connect them. I already had the PowerBeats2, so I wanted to connect them to the app as well but it won't recognize them at all. I've disconnected the headphones from my phone, I've reset the headphones, I've upgraded the app, I've turned the phone off, and nothing seems to work.
I own 2 pairs of the PowerBeats3 and I tried updating using the beats updater but that was discontinued. The headphones constantly disconnect immediately after connecting with my PC. I tried to update firmware with this app but after closing the lid nothing happens.... Big bummer, the updater app worked, this app doesn't do anything when trying to update. Now I can only use these with my phone!
Great Software - Milage Varies depending on Product I'm using a pair of Beats Flex's paired up with a Samsung S21 Ultra. Zero issues from day one, including post firmware update. The software does exactly what it says it'll do. It's unobtrusive and seems to just work for me; I really can't ask for more given that Apple has invested so much into their sound quality relative to the Beats line. The Flex's in particular leverage the same IC's as their Airpod Pro's. Top marks on implementation.
Constantly disconnects my headphones from other devices with a "notification" and says I need to update it, but the update for the beats won't work at all, not even an attempt. Very annoying.
These are the worst buds I have ever had I can leave the buds on the charger all night & connect & disconnect to make sure the buds are properly in the case for charging and as soon as I start to use the buds the next day the left bud is always already at 10% this happens every time with no fail. The app also reads a different charge level for the case it'll start off at 100% then suddenly down to 0% then back up to 90%-93%. I won't buy anymore beats buds can't trust them anymore...
App is so unstable, it frequently stops responding and just crashes. Powerboats pro product is actually phenomenal, but I have the original version, beats by Dre. Now that they have been bought out, I saw an immediate change in functionality. The "autodetect" stopped working, I have tried factory reseting, and it's hit or miss. The auto mic detection never works, it's stuck on whichever side I use first after a factory reset, even though the app is set "automatically switch"
