Beats Wireless Headphones Don't Go Loud Enough

I had the same issue, likewise I was very disappointed. Instead of giving you a lecture on decibels and other things I have no idea about I'll give you my fix. I changed out the buds to the larger supplied ones and these now rock. I think the ones they ship with are to small and don't create the seal you need to fully enjoy the headphones. I love them, hope this helps.

Took me a second to figure this out too. You adjust the volume by pressing up on the same B logo button on the left earpiece that pauses the music. Except you have to press on the top of the button to raise the volume, as normally pressing the center just pauses again of course.

I can not believe how simple it was to turn up to volume. to be more specific, it is the outer circle on the left ear above the beats logo. Worked liked it was designed to. Believe me they get really loud.

I believe this is a software bug. I've had mine for about 2 months with no issues on volume. In fact, they usually have tons of head room on volume. However recently they'll randomly not be loud enough, even though my phone and beats are turned up all the way.

Think I figured out how to fix it. Make sure it is disconnected from all other devices... computers, iphones, ipads. etc.

I just went on to my computer and hit disconnect device under bluetooth, then went back on my phone and reconnected it. Bam super loud again.

To the people who responded to your post in a way that I personally found a bit condescending and dismissive....Yeah I agree with the fact that we do not need lectures about decibels. Please create your own blog if you are a frustrated writer looking for an audience. This is a forum meant to be helpful. We are not morons.

About the volume from the headphones....I have the same issue. I own the Beats 2 "top of the line" Bluetooth over the ear version. When I plug them in with the sound cable, no problem. However, when I use them wirelessly - the whole reason I paid the extra money for this model - the volume is at about 50% of what it would be with the cord plugged in. Definitely a design/function issue.

I installed iVolume but it only seems to work with songs cataloged on iTunes, not with VLC Player or even with Quicktime.

I will probably end up contacting Beats directly, but seeing that Apple is a representative of Beats, it would be nice - from a customer care point of view - to have Apple initiate a fix for this. I think this is reasonable, especially considering that when I had an issue with my previous set of headphones from Beats, I simply made an appointment at the Genius bar and Apple took care of the rest. They are filling the role as stewards to this product. I don't see why it should be any different when it comes to working up a patch to fix a volume issue.

Just my opinion...

In any case, let me know if you find a solution.

Thanks,

Check Settings. Go to Music and check if there is a volume limit on. If not you should contact Beats

My car does 145DB in the sound system. I listen to it at full blast for the enjoyment daily. Your examples are illogical.

I am also having the disappointing feeling with the dead beats solo headphones. I know I am not deaf and don't have tinnitus but the volume is surly lacking. I also dont see that I need to change all my music files to suit. Its worse when listening to my iPhone. But defiantly louder on the Mac. And yes both volumes are up. I am just glad I didn't pay for them.

despite the price you may have paid Beats are notoriously inferior headphones even when compared to the bargain brand devices. When you're ready for a new set of cans try Sony, or Koss or Sennhiser or Audio Technica. You will never see Beats in any review of good or even decent headphones, they are a name brand for those who care about looks, not quality.

In the words of Henry Rollins, I wanted my face to melt but the power beats 3 are lacking in munch, I have tried sound booster apps but the mofos are flackey as ****. Do I send them back or give them a chance. #@morefakinpowerbiatch

Like your style son, for me I will decide when my hearing is at risk and some tunes are not the same in health and safety mode. Kick out the jams mother *******. Apologies for naughty words my American friends x

where the microphone is on the left side below the ear piece there is an up and down to be pressed for the volume on the headset itself. i just discovered it yesterday. i was all set to return them too.

they sound good, not as great as over the ear to me but still good.

Hey Imaginos,

Recently, I've been experiencing the same problem. I contacted Apple, they did a few procedures, then finally told me that the only solution was to send it to them. I didn't believe them. Then suddenly I thought: what if the problem wasn't in the beats, but in the device I was using (iMac). I then connected it to my iPhone and it worked perfectly! I then decided to restart my iMac and it worked normally after that!

Hope This Helps!

Have you tried to turn up the actual headphones? Left ear cup where you would plug the aux cord in to go wired mode. On the outer part you can click in the B and there is a circle ring around it that is the volume controls up for loud and down for quiet. My GF didn't know this for a year of owning them.

I've had a previous beats wireless and they packed up two and a half years later 2 weeks ago I bought the beats 3 and two days ago they started not being loud enough. I find the product inferior and i doubt I'll be buying beats again

Volume not loud.....I fixed mine! So I've sent 4 pair back because of this volume issue. AND they would cut out when I turned my head to look behind me.

I have fixed the low volume problem. Go into settings, music, then scroll down to see if the soundcheck is on.

Turn it off!!! The volume will come right up!

For the second problem, my latest pair hasn't cut out ......yet. So we'll see how it goes.
