Bluetooth Headphones Beep Between Songs

I don't remember where I saw this but it works. If you change the volume on the bluetooth headset (raise and then lower) the beeping between songs goes away. I have an iPhone 7 and IOS 12.0. Hope it works for you.

• Do you hear the beep between songs while listening to music with different apps? Or, is the beep between songs isolated to the Music app?
• Does the behavior continue with a different set of Bluetooth headphones?
• Does the behavior persist if you use wired headphones?

I had the same problem with my TaoTronics Bluetooth headphones but I resolved it by forgetting the device in Bluetooth on IPhone then turning phone off. I then reset headphones, turned phone on and repaired them. The beep was then gone between songs.

I was having the same issue (beeping when the track changed), but neteng1’s fix just worked. A quick volume change at the headset and the beep is gone, for now at least.

For what its worth, I got the beep on my new MPOW Flame headset, but my old EarPods knockoffs never beeped between tracks. :shrug:

This may be obvious, but if you then use the phone to change volume or skip songs, the problem will return until you raise/lower the volume using the phones. It would be nice if Apple would fix this once and for all. And yes I know they don't read these.

The raise/lower volume trick worked...a few times. Now it doesn’t. Ran the latest update, still doesn’t work.

Any ideas why it would stop working when there weren’t any changes in the phone?

I’ve also noticed that it beeps any time there’s any change that MIGHT involve audio. What I mean by that is that I’ll get a beep when I’m listening to the music app and open, say, the Imgur app. The music won’t be interrupted unless I specifically choose to play something, of course. But just opening/closing the app causes a beep.

I believe the "beeps" are being caused by the file type being used for your music files when you synch your device.

When you attach your device to your computer to synch it, in the left side panel under "Settings" there is an option at the top called "Summary". When you click "Summary", a page opens up. There is a pane for "Backups", and under that there is a pane for "Options" In the options pane, you can check a box that says "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC. (I believe AAC is an Apple audio format.) I checked that box, and that is when I started hearing the beeps between tracks on my blue-tooth headphones. So I went back in and unchecked the box and re-synched my device, and the beeps stopped.

OK. Don’t know if this will work for anyone else, but it’s fixed it for me (so far, at least.)

1) Start with the iPhone/iPad turned ON, but with the screen OFF. Don’t touch it again until you’ve done the following:

2) Power up the headphones and wait for the beep/whatever to let you know it’s connected.

3) Push play on the headphones and wait for the music (or whatever) to start.

4) I usually push the forward button to skip to the next song just to be safe, but that might not be necessary.

5) That’s it. Turn on the screen and do whatever.

....and now it doesn’t beep.

I think that when the headphones pair with the phone, they wait to see who makes the first move, to see who’s “boss.” If the headphones are boss, no beep. If the phone is boss, it sends a beep to the headphones to give it a “heads up” (ha ha ha) to say “hey, FYI, something’s happening.”

...which is weird. And maybe that’s not an accurate metaphor for what’s happening, but thinking of it that way has kept me beep-free whenever I remember to do it (if I forget and start from the phone, it starts beeping again.)

YMMV. Good luck.

This worked for me, thanks!

Same problem with LG wireless headphones and iPhone Xs using 12.1.3. Started months ago. Tried neteng1's fix, but unfortunately it didn't work for me. :(

I have not and would never check that box, but I have beeps.

you’re a hero
