The next step is to ensure your firmware is updated on both your Powerbeats pro & the device you’re trying to connect it to. This should solve the issue, but if this didn’t work for you, move on to the next step.


But they do add up to a better experience. These seeming incremental technology improvements don't lend themselves to a flashy new pair of headphones. (Beats will automatically connect to Apple products-no pairing necessary.) Those energy savings come from Apple’s proprietary silicon chip, the W1, which makes Bluetooth more efficient and easier to use. When you get down to two hours, the headphones automatically switch into power saving mode, which turns off ANC and extends battery life for another hour and 45 minutes. This kind of continuous processing power usually means a tradeoff in battery life, but Beats claims its Studio 3 will last 22 hours with ANC, or 40 if you turn it off. You'll notice the music in your headphones, and nada else. This monitoring happens 50,000 times a second-basically in real time-which makes the alterations barely perceptible. From there, Beats’ software strips out digital artifacts, like spikes in the low end from canceling out a bus or jet engine, and reverts the digital file back to its original sound. “We overlay the two in real time and see where there are artifacts and anomalies in the two waveforms,” Wood says. But it also has software that continually compares the ANC-altered music with the original sound file on your device. Similar to other ANC headphones, the Studio 3 uses two microphones to pick up ambient sound.
