Hi folks. I don’t know if you’ve tried this, but I’ve FINALLY managed to get round the problem.
I’m using my 2nd pair of these earphones, due to me swapping my first pair that I thought had an issue. But it’s going to be the same on virtually EVERY pair of these headphones for ALL of us.
The design is terrible, and it’s all because the connection points are so small. What I do now after using them, is slide the main screen of my iPhone or iPad to the right to display the battery levels of all of my linked devices, and then open my Powerbeats Pro charging case. The case should be displayed on the screen and also show the headphones individually. As they are placed into the charging case, they should individually show a ‘bolt of lightning’ image next to each of them if they are charging. If not, then slowly and VERY carefully apply tiny movements to the individual headphone until it displays the ‘bolt of lightning’ image on the screen. Once both of them have that image, carefully close the lid, and be careful as you move the charging box around.
It’s a terrible design, but at least the headphones are great when I’m out running or in the gym.
***I hope I’m helping someone, because I’m finally happy now that I’ve figured out this terrible design error.***
Exactly, the contacts are not mate out of iron either or any form of carbon steel, they are an alloy that does not oxidise with water (or sweat) otherwise they wouldn't be rated for sweat and splash resistance.
I sweat way more than she does in the gym and my replacement pair are perfectly fine.
This is SO NOT RIGHT!
and Apple was so arrogant with me say nothing they can do the engineers looked at it and their word is it. Ridiculous, $275 out the door headphones having this problem. Yep, I was told these Beat headphones wud b great in a workout environment.
class action is the only way Apple is gonna take any action on this and DO WHATS RIGHT!
Something needs to b done because this is a blatant rip off!!!!!!!!!!!!
This does look like an issue with design or software. They are on all the time yes?? No off on button. Mine have discharged a few times now. I always wear them together and bought specifically for gym work out and running. It’s not great when you get to gym and find one flat and discharged before workout. That’s a massive fail. Either the connection isn’t solid enough to handle being in a bag.. cos you cannot put this case in your pocket.. or the magnetic attaching isn’t strong enough and secure. Also I don’t have any red light to say they are charging or any status on the earphone or case to say it’s charging still. Maybe a red amber green led would be good. Anyway it appears less secure in the case than AirPods. ( which are brilliant all round apart from i cannot run or workout in them) seems Apple can and do make great gear but this is an issue and simply giving out another replacement only for the issue to be the same seems a waste on all parties time and expense. I’m U.K. based.
heya- I am having the same issue- it looks like they told you to contact apple support- did you have any luck getting a solution?

Same issue for me, did you fix it? It works sometimes but I have to wait a while
Agree.
I just found my left earpiece didn't charge as well. it's only 3 weeks old.
This shouldn't be happening for such a premium product.
Same issues.
earphones won’t sync
earphones won’t charge
No pop up box to tell me the status
Same here. Sigh. They are useless.
Truly surprised as Beats has been bought by Apple & it seems like they are not keepin check on quality control as they are with Apple products
Same issue here but now the case is not even charging.
hoping Apple acknowledges this problem and is working on a replacement solution.
Did the new replacements work any better. Is it just an issue with some of them?
They said it was fixed but no replaced at the time.
Same here - and they wasted my time by giving me the incorrect information and sending me to best buy, who were quite concerned that that apple support people didn't know better
Same issue for me too. Hope they fix this issue ASAP
