Issues with Beats Studio Wireless headphones on Macbook Pro

Hi all,


I am having issues with Beats Studio Wireless headphones on my Macbook pro.

When connected via bluetooth, the audio will sometimes be distorted and quiet.

If i go into settings and change the output from internal speakers and back to the beats, it generally fixes the issue.

However, sometimes i have to disconnect and reconnect to fix the issue.

The issue does not occur when connected via the cable or when connected via bluetooth on my iPhone.

I have the latest software/firmware on both my Mac and Beats


Any suggestions on how to fix this issue

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

Hello there, deanomac23.


It sounds like you're having some output issues with your Beats Studio Wireless Headphones. Great job so far with the troubleshooting steps you have done. One step to try would be to unpair your headphones and then pair them again with your MacBook Pro. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some step-by-step instructions:

MAC ISSUES WITH BLUETOOTH

Having trouble connecting your Apple products to Beats via Bluetooth? Follow these steps:

  1. Disable Bluetooth on any devices linked to your Beats
  2. Open the Bluetooth menu from System Preferences on your Mac
  3. Select your Beats from the list of found devices and remove it
  4. Activate pairing on your Beats
  5. Check the LED lights to ensure it’s in pairing mode
  6. Go back to the Mac Bluetooth menu and select your Beats device

    On OS X 10.8, you'll need to select your Beats as your audio device under Bluetooth Preferences

  7. You’re paired! But you may need to reconnect. Select your Beats in the Bluetooth menu and choose Use as Audio Device (stereo).

Audio will now stream properly through your Beats. If you’re still stuck, try restarting your Mac.
