Beats Flex Volume

hey everyone

I recently bought the beats flex to replace my AirPods. But the volume on them are so low that even normal conversation can impede on my music listening. I’ve reset them and I am on firmware 3.7.2.

Any Suggestions ???

iPhone 11, iOS 15

Hello chachiiii,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We can understand the concern with the volume of your Beats Flex, and we're happy to help. Since you've already reset those Beats and checked the firmware, let's see if there is an issue or setting with your iPhone that might be impacting the low volume. See if Reduce Loud Sounds might be enabled: Use headphone audio level features on iPhone


"Reduce loud headphone sounds in Settings

  1. Go to Settings , then tap Sounds & Haptics (iPhone 7 and later) or Sounds (earlier models).
  2. Tap Headphone Safety.
  3. Turn on Reduce Loud Sounds, then drag the slider.
  4. iPhone analyzes your headphone audio and reduces any sound above the level you set.
  5. The Headphone Safety screen, showing the number of headphone notifications sent in the last 6 months, the button for turning on or off the Reduce Loud Sounds setting, a slider for changing the maximum decibel level, and the selected decibel limit of 85 decibels.
  6. Note: If you set up Screen Time for family members, you can prevent them from changing the Reduce Loud Sounds level. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Reduce Loud Sounds, then select Don’t Allow."


Another way to check to see if your iPhone is part of the issue would be to pair the Beats with another device and see if you experience the lower levels
