Powerbeats 3 blinking white light

Thanks, I brought them to the Apple Store today and they verified purchase and took them to send off and said they would call me back in 2-3 days. I imagine they will give me a new pair if they can't fix them.

This happened to me a couple months ago. Went to the Apple Store and they swapped them out with another pair. Today, a couple months since the switch, this pair is now doing the same thing. Making an appointment to take them in this afternoon. 😐

I was having a similar problem. I would get three blinking white lights then nothing after I pressed the power button. Power button - three white lights - nothing. Never got red lights. Turns out the battery was dead? I did the reset, Hooked them up to the charger for about 10min and was able to re-pair to my phone. Simple but something i didnt think of for a little while. Hope this helps some of y'all.

This has happened to me 4 times now in less than 6 months, first time the PW3 stopped working so Apple replaced them, second time I spoke with apple support, they told me to reset them but didn´t work so they wanted to replace my PW3 a second time, I waited 30 minutes or so and they started working again, third time it happened I didn´t even bother to contact Apple, I connected them to my Mac, unplugged them and powered them on, it worked, went to the gym and for the 4th time it happened I reset them, waited 30 minutes, shook them a bit and then tried to powered them on and it worked.

I still don´t know what is causing this but this is my second pair and it looks like all of them are failing, asked for a refund but Apple didn´t want to give me the money back.

Have you found a better solution to this? This is an old thread.

I was doing my running exercise and then they just turn off and didn't turn back on I tried restarting them again but they won't so I went home and just charge them again but the weird part is that they were at 94% then drop at 86% before I even hit my half way mark of my running exercise so I just went home and starting to charge them if they won't then I'll just call apple

I'm on the fourth pair now and *knock on wood* no fail yet. The only difference this time was instead of shipping them and returning back a brown box replacement, they just gave me a new retail box off the shelf. I am using the new charger.

These have lasted I think longer than the previous two pairs.

So today I figured it out some thing happened with my power beats the three blinks and then I held it down for a while and it went to red and white I turned my iPhone off and the turned it back on went to settings and pushed "turn bluetooth back on" my device showed up and I paired it. My beats 3 still was blinking three time so I started playing music and then I held down the power button on them and they turned right off and now they work fine :)

Yeah they lose connection due to sweat, because they will run all day if I'm not sweating but as soon as the my get humid/wet exit sound and three white blinks. So I wear a Nike heatband and whipe with towel throughout all workouts though when working out very hard you just can't avoid them losing connection which is ********. Going to buy regular non Bluetooth beats eventually.

This is pathetic. I purchased my PB3 yesterday and they are doing this. It sits on the charger with a red light illuminated for about 10 minutes before the light turns off. When I pick up the headset I get a flashing red/white/red/white. I try to turn the headset on, 3 flashing red lights. I expected more from this product, especially since it happens to a lot of people. What a shame apple, what a shame

thanks. but these are sold as headphones for working out, and are supposed to be "sweat resistant." This issue is a defect, which in typical Beats and Apple fashion, the company refuses to admit to. Beats headphones are complete garbage. I have 2 different beats and both have failed multiple times in the first year and the only correct solution is to continue complaining to apple and pressing them to replace your headset, which they will do within the first year of ownership. When they are forced to replace enough of these, they might actually correct their awful production process at Beats.

too bad the headphones are garbage but I am glad to find out I am not the only one having this problem. My first pair quit completely and my second pair is doing exactly what you describe- quits 20-30 minutes into a workout and then I get the 3 blinking white lights. So far I have been able to reboot them and pair with my phone, but they conk out every time.

Have also developed this fault, very unimpressed, going on a fortnight's holiday tomorrow. This is Beats response on Twitter....(not really helpful, and obviously there's no home solution)

Thanks for clarifying this for us. We can set up a mail in repair for you if you'd like. We'll need a few more details from you first. Would you send us photos of your Beats? We'd like to see the left and right sides and any labels that identify the model.

We'll also need your Beats serial number. This article will help you locate it: beats.is/2eztkcV

Please send us a copy of your receipt as well. We'll use this to determine the status of your limited warranty. If you don't have it, most retailers are great about printing you a copy.

Finally, we’ll need your shipping information.

Also it doesn't matter how many times they repair or replace these are the most NON sweat proof headphones I have ever had which is false advertising considering they are sold as sweat proof. A lawsuit needs to be filed for these garbage headphones. Cutting off in the middle of a workout is the worst.

Forget your device in the Bluetooth settings if it is in there. Then hold down the pause button and the power button at the same time for about 10 seconds and try powering your beats back on. It worked for me and mine weren't connecting and were charged and brand new. They would blink white three times and when held down for more than 10 seconds would blink white and red.

It means powerbeats suck. Have had continuous problems with powerlessbeat2 and 3. Have done the return/replace thing until warranty runs out. Was told beats3 were better. NOPE. You would think Apple would care more
