PowerBeats Pro shutting down with battery
When using my Powerbeats Pro, the left earpiece shuts down randomly, even if it shows more than 80% battery on my iPhone. This only happens with the left one, the right one works normally.

Here's some tips to decrease your chances of either right or left Powerbeats Pro shutting down with battery issues. I had all the same problem in this thread, but haven't had one incident after I followed these steps.
PS! Small batteries like in these earpieces would obviously decrease its battery over time. So if its over 2 years old don't expect more than approx 4-6 hours of playing time. In some cases 3-4. (depending on the weather / temperature)
1 - Clean the case connector / earpiece - Make sure nothing is blocking your earpieces from charging.
2 - Make sure the "disfunctional" earpiece (right or left) is getting its charge in its case. If both pieces are charging together, it will show up as one unit (on iPhone). Open the case and pull out one earpiece from the charging case to check if the other one is really charging and repeat with other one. (It should show a lightning indicator above your earpiece if its charging)
3 - (In case of flickering) If you open the charging case and either right or left earpiece is "flickering" inside the iPhone connector, hold in the reset button on the case (with earpieces inside) for 20+ sec until you see a red light flashing and reset your earpieces. If it keeps flickering it means something wrong with the connector and eventually leads to disconnection.
4 - Last but not least, I used to wear my earpieces long before I would start my workout. I could drive with earpieces in for 30min - 1hour+ before even starting the actual workout. This obviously decreases your chances of obtaining battery through the whole workout.
So make sure you have charged each earpiece to max and bring your case (with the earpieces inside charging) to wherever your starting your workout, and only put in and use your earpieces when your starting the workout.
These steps should increase your chances of having battery throughout your whole workout :)
You really trust beats after everything we’re going through, you’re brave lets hope this time it pays off
I started a Twitter thread, I don’t have a lot of followers but go like and retweet. I’m ready to keep trying anything.
👌nice
True! Happens only when I'm working and using my PBP for calls and meetings. Not when listening to music.
Weird - mine are all the time. Mic on/off, windows or Mac. iPhone or iPad. Just can’t get the left to work. Really annoying
the apple forgot about us. headphones cannot be used. is it possible to roll back the firmware?
Apple should release firmware
no desire to use their products again
Apple at least just rolled back the firmware to stable
They did? What does that actually mean? I don’t know the technical aspects of this stuff.
How can we roll back the firmware on our individual devices?
will there be a solution and a new firmware?
The situation is disgusting. Apple's attitude is just disgusting. There are no words.
The question is how these headphones, just bought in the store, work. Are they working with the same problem?
the ones bought just now will probably work. But how they will behave after the upcoming update to the new firmware is a question. This happens automatically.
Did anyone had any luck by replacing the battery? I want to do it but I'm afraid I'll be throwing out another $50 to have this crap do the same issue.
This thread is marked as "solved"
Can anyone make a new thread and link it here please?
And don't mark it as solved by any means..
