BeatsX blinks red and white erratically

My Beats X won't turn on, and when charging they blink red, white, red-red, white, red, white, red-red, white. I've tried resets with the power + mute and power + vol down. Nothing.

Hello sushimagpie,

Thanks for that info and choosing the Apple Support Communities. If I understand correctly, you are unable to get your BeatsX headphones to turn on and it flashes red and white lights. Since you have already tried some good troubleshooting steps, your next step is to contact Apple for further help with your situation.

Contact Apple Support

Cheers!

No, iOS 10.3.3. Am updating now to see what happens, but I hadn't changed anything between when the BeatsX worked and when they didn't. Plus, it isn't a pairing issue - it's the headphones themselves.
