powerbeats3 microphone not working The microphone on my PowerBeats3 headphones are no longer working.

I can ear audio, but if I am on my iPhone, the caller cannot hear me. Anyone have a solution? memo app only records static noise.

iPhone 13 Pro

Hello mariclaud,


Thanks for joining us in Apple Support Communities.


Let’s start by trying a reset to see if that helps with your Powerbeats3 microphone not working. Hold down both the power button and volume down button for 10 seconds. You should see the indicator light flash. When you see that, release the buttons. This link provides more information:


Reset your Beats earphones


Also, have you tried cleaning the microphone on your Powerbeats to see if that helps? This link will show you how:


Clean and store your Beats earphones or headphones


If those steps don’t seem to help, let us know which iPhone you’re using with your Powerbeats3, and the software version that's listed in Settings > General > About. We’ll take a closer look if necessary.


Take care!

the reset and cleaning both were done to no avail. this problem exists regardless of the device ( iphone 13pro) /computer (pc) it is connected to. the mic is not picking up any sound. i can hear music and incoming calls fine. the voice memo on the iphone plays back static and i can hear when i pause the recording but nothing else. The same is true on the computer using voice recorder.
