Beats Studio pro 2023 static noice in left ear (with anc)

Exactly the same issue here. Bought the Beats Studio Pro two days ago at an Apple Store. Problem started with clicks in the left ear, than white noise left, then white noise both sides. Resetting did not improve this. Returned the Beats today for a refund and will wait for the Apple AirPod Max 2.

I have a solution to stop the noise: Go into settings, you should see your device near the top, tap that, then under noise control, set that to off.

I started having the same problem today so I came to this thread to find a solution. Seeing that none exists, I just smacked the side that was fuzzing and it stopped. 😂 I don’t know how long that’ll last but for now I’ve found peace.

UPDATE: Bad experience: Folks at the apple store mailed the Beats in for free, since they're still under warranty. Once the shop received my headphones they said they saw cracks in the speaker which aren't covered under warranty, so I could pay like $150 - $200 (can't remember exact amount) for repairs. I decided it wasn't worth it so they mailed the headphones back and now I can't use noice cancelling, which is one of the main reasons I bought them in the first place. In sum, this has been a bad experience and I will never buy Beats again.

Some users have found a workaround to the problem: Turning off noise control. You can do this by selecting the headphones (near the top of the settings menu), and turning off noise control.

Can confirm this statement as I have now had to send what’s now like my 3rd pair of Beats Studio Pros to Apple due to static noise.

Same here! Got them as a Christmas gift. Worked fine the first few days, but now anytime noise cancelling or transparency is on, get a static noise in the left ear. It’s not from interference either. Took them into the woods on our land a long way from the house without any other devices and still getting it. There is something wrong with them. I’m hoping a firmware update can fix them, because I like them outside of this annoying issue. I’ve seen too many people posting online about it for it to be some random issue.

This is crazy. I also got these at Christmas and have worn them exclusively while working at my desk and could not have/did not damage them in anyway. After 3 days of use and one charge the noise started. It sounds like there is a raging snowstorm in my left ear. I've rest them many times and am going to issue a return.

I sent my pair in to apple, I owned them for a month and they were a gift so I didn't have a receipt. They said if there wasn't any water or physical damage and it was a manufacture defect they would be able to replace. I wore them around my house and they have had a very gentle life. I will let you all know what happens.

Exactly what I’ve been telling the technicians. Sounds like subtle white noise, but it has to be at a very high frequency because my ear hurts ridiculously when I use it. One day I used it on zoom and IDK if is the way the zoom audio is, it was tapping in the ear like pulsating tinnitus, took the headphones out and was gone. It was only the left side. How is that we all have similar experience, all the left side and they still act clueless. If you check forums like this for the other products, the different types of AirPods and the beats earbuds, all of them have many clients saying the same thing and all are in the left. Is insane that Apple keeps ignoring it.

This was me as well, but I saw something on the internet saying about the paper on the very outside of the bud sitting on top of the sound system. if you take the rubber protector thing off and somehow remove the paper (probably without irreparably folding it in half like I did) and reattach it somehow, then, as it did for me, the problem should go away. the finer technical points and the overall how of this is somewhat missing, but as a baseline starter which no doubt somebody with more skill and professionalism than me can help with and enhance, it worked for me. 🙂

After reading through all these comments, it's clear that my Beats Studio Pro headphones, which I truly enjoy, have some significant issues. I love them, but the fact that I've had to send them in twice for static in the left ear within just 17 months is frustrating. It's reassuring to know I'm not alone in experiencing this. I've treated them well and never dropped them. Thankfully, I invested in a two-year warranty at Target when I bought them. However, once that warranty expires, I'm going to move on from this model, unless I hear that Apple has successfully addressed and improved this problem in a newer version.

I had the same hissing static sound in one of my previous cheaper ANC headphones.I suspect Apple used cheap stuff to achieve the ANC on Beats Studio pro .There is probably no solution in sight because this is quite normal for the ANC implementation on these headphones.You won't hear the hiss on the Sony XM5/6 or Sonos ace.

Same problem. I hear hissing in the left ear when playing music at low volume, via Bluetooth. When I use the wire, the hissing is gone.

Omg that actually worked. I just had the same problem and I smacked it on the left ear and that actually worked. Lol
