Powerbeats pro ringing in one ear / not working

For some reason, my left earbud on my Powerbeats pro won't work and just emits a high pitched ringing sound. I've tried re-setting it, but didn't work. Any suggestions?

Hi. This helped me so I'm bothering to log in and help. There's a step not listed above.


  1. Forget the device in iPhone Bluetooth
  2. Download Beats Updater (I don't know if this is vital; I'm using Chrome on Mac)
  3. Plug in your Powerbeats Pro case with earbuds in them (it said I already had the newest firmware)
  4. Rename it (again, idk if vital; I ended up renaming it 2x - once to something new, once to back to what it was)


This is all the above said to do. When I got here, it gave me a "Not your Powerbeats Pro" message, and refused to pair. Called Beats department.


Step 5: Reset your Beats case with the earbuds in them. Not 3 or 5 seconds. 15 seconds. Should turn red briefly after the 15 sec, then to white, and then to slowly flashing white. Should give you the normal pair your new Apple headphones pop-up.

Yeah... all these common sense responses are kinda useless. Of course you should disconnect and forget the device... like what? Why bother logging in to post that?


Literally just had the same problem again, my solution was the only one that helped. I think people who come to this page have tried the common sense solutions.
