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.

Apple, what is petty is you not acknowledging that there is a problem with this product and offering a viable replacement. We spend good money and are loyal customers. It’s not as if you don’t have the money.


Its ok to make mistakes, but please for your ESG compliance purposes at least, treat your customers with respect and stop forcing them to launch lawsuits…

Well ladies and gentlemen, since Apple is hot garbage and essentially robbed us, has anybody tried Raycons? I hear good things about them, but bad too.


It’s a shame the Powerbeats Pro have collectively **** their beds all around the world… they sounded and fit amazing, but don’t work as they should anymore.


Got these as a Christmas gift from my parents, and it’s a big bummer that something I loved so much has become such an annoyance.

Yea, exactly the same thing for me for the past 10 days or so. The right earbud drops out after 23 minutes of use every time regardless of battery level.


Absolutely disgusting that an Apple representative hasn't replied to anyone or tried to help anyone on here.


This happened very coincidentally with the announcement of the new beats fit pro releasing internationally.... Shame on Apple ripping their consumers off with a known defect and no product recall.

The fact that this thread is updated once a week, serves as a enough proof to me that this issue is with the product and not the user. Normally apple products are treated with care and product owners are respected. Seems like Apple could not care less about this, evident by them closing the chain and marking it resolved.


Beats products do not even have their own feedback section. https://www.apple.com/feedback/


Bonkers

Here’s what’s going on with mine now:

if I use both for phone calls, it dies after about 15-20 minutes.


if I use it at the gym strictly playing music from my library, I can get exactly an hour out of it. Shuts off at exactly an hour.


This leads me to believe this has to be a software issue and not battery related.


Come on Apple! Troubleshoot this issue!!! It really makes using this product a very disappointing experience!


I found myself giving Dr. Dre the evil eye during the halftime show just because his name is still on the product!🤪😳😞🤬

Not really brave, I still have doubts but I am sick and tired of my right side powerbeats pro dying after an hour of working out, it messes with my motivation to keep on working out. So far the beats fit pros have been great so far, better sound quality and can last up to 6 hours, and really comfortable compared to powerbeats pros. Im a satisfied customer for sure, just hope that they don’t exhibit the same things the powerbeats pro are doing after 2 years of use.
