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.

Hello,


Yes, I have tried resetting the Beats, also waited until the batteries, both the case and buds were completely drained, tried charging again and had the same problem: I had a low battery alert on the left bud, and then it shut off after a few seconds. I tried recharging that one bud by itself for 5 minutes, took it out of the case and it lasted around 5 mins more.

I'm also experiencing this same issue - my right earbud turns off at 80% and my left is usually shortly after that around 70%. I use my earbuds with a Windows 10 laptop for work and I experience the same issue whether I'm connected to my iPhone or Windows, so slightly different there. I've also tried resetting, updating all the firmware, iOS, etc. with no luck.

It all depends on what kind of research you want to do! Here are a few considerations for choosing this tool or a different one:

Some reasons to use SurveyMonkey:

  • Option to do longer surveys
  • Very large, panel-based audience. (While panelists have been known to have data quality issues related to bias, you know that panelists have opted-in to receive survey invitations and many points of targeting have been identified.


  • Since SurveyMonkey’s panel is so large, you get more diversity than smaller panels)
  • You can cut and paste the link directly into an email.

Thanks for all the updates - I've tried most of what you said and the issue always seems to end up persisting. I've found, my right ear bud either dies at 80% or if the battery somehow gets below 80% (if I've left them out of the case for a while) then they usually die right at 55%. The left earbud seems to be behaving more normally, but still dying quicker than I remember. My ear buds are a little under 2 years old at this point and outside of the warranty so I've been getting resistance from anyone at Apple, which is frustrating because this is clearly not a normal issue. If it was a true issue of an old product I would understand, but this seems to be a broader issue.
