BeatsX not charging

My new BeatsX 2017 won't charge and won't connect wireless anymore. They have been working fine in a few weeks, but now they won't charge and won't connect wireless to my iMac or iPhone.
They are blinking red when connected to charging cable. Not charging.

I have tried to turn them off and on again.

I have tried to reset them.

I have tried to install beats Updater. They can find my BeatsX when connected via USB to my iMac. It tells me that its up to date and have 0% battery. Still not charging.


What to do ?

Greetings fynbo60,

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.

I see that you are having an issue charging your BeatsX and connecting to wireless. I'm happy to help you try and find a solution to this issue.

It looks like you've done some good troubleshooting steps so far by power cycling, resetting, and trying to install any available updates. Since you're still having an issue, I would like you to contact Apple Support. You can contact Apple Support here: Contact Apple Support .

Exact same problem here. Very annoying. I also tried the holding mute + power button trick and got the same results in regard to flashing lights. I also tried the hold lower volume + power and that did not work either. I have tried both multiple times. My BeatsX are less than a month old.

This situation is especially off-putting because I've already been through two pairs of AirPods and now this is happening, and I've treated all three pairs of ear buds perfectly. I don't think Apple's wireless headphones are ready for prime time yet.

I write this with extreme frustration with both the product and Apple. I have had to replace my 1st generation Powerbeats 4 times with the exact same problem! There is obviously a problem with the product and instead of replacing the product with the newer version they continue to send me more headphones (which are not sold anymore) which eventually have the same problem! Its become a joke.

i'm having the same problem suddenly after about 2 months of use. they won't hold a charge and won't turn on either. i tried everything listed above. this is a 150 dollar mistake. we switched to wireless and spend money to do so and now i have to deal with this again. and worse...i looked at my account online, to try to get the serial number because my blue beats barely have a readable number and i thru out all the paperwork figuring i could access the receipt anytime i need it online at the apple.com store and it the purchase doesn't show up. what a freaking pain
