How To Pair Beats Earbuds (Android, iOS, macOS, Windows)

• Ensure the buds are adequately charged before pairing them to any device.
• Also, ensure you turn on Bluetooth on the source device before powering on the earbuds.
• Once you power them on for the first time, they automatically go into pairing mode.
• You will see the LED on the case (or the buds for some models) flash white to show that the buds are in pairing mode.
• Once in pairing mode, you will likely find a pairing prompt on the unlocked screen of the iPhone. Following that prompt will finish the pairing process.
• If the earbuds power on and the LED on the case or the buds remain white without blinking, then the buds are probably already connected to a different device.
• You can get them back into pairing mode by pressing the system button on the case for 5 seconds, and the LED starts blinking white.
• If the buds do not come with a case, press the power button for five seconds, and you should see the LED blinking white to indicate pairing mode.
• Pressing the System button on the case for fifteen seconds for models that come with a case will reset the earbuds.

• Ensure the buds are charged by more than fifty percent if they are new and you are pairing them for the first time.
• Open the charging case, and while leaving the buds inside, place the case next to the device you want to connect them to.
• You should see the LED on the earbuds charging case blinking white rapidly.
• This indicates that they are in pairing mode.
• If the LED on the case is not blinking, you can force the buds into pairing mode.
• Do this by pressing and holding the System button in the case for five seconds until the LED starts blinking. 

While the earbuds are in the case, press the System button and hold it until the LED starts flashing white. The LED is on the front side of the case. This white flashing LED indicates that the earbuds are in pairing mode. If you’re using an iPhone, you should also see a pairing prompt on the screen.

• At this point, the buds are in pairing mode, and you can complete the pairing process on the device you want to connect to the earbuds.

• Place the buds close to the device you want them connected to.
• Hold the power button on the control module on the right for three to five seconds until the LED starts flashing.

Press the POWER button on your Beats Flex to manually initiate pairing. The LED should start flashing white rapidly.

• That indicates that the buds are in pairing mode, and you can continue the pairing process on the source device (the device you want to connect to your earbuds).

• Ensure the Beats earbuds are in the case and that the case is left open.
• Press the System button in the case for five seconds until the LED on the case starts blinking.

To initiate pairing mode on Powerbeats Pro, press the system button (inside the case) until the LED on the front starts flashing white. The earbuds have to be inside the case.

• Proceed to finish the pairing process on the source device.
• The above steps also apply to the Beats Fit Pro earbuds.

• Power on these earbuds by pressing the power button for a second. This also turns them off if they are turned on.
• The button is on the left end next to the LED.
• Once powered on, the earbuds go into pairing mode, and you will see the LED flashing.
• To force pairing mode manually, you should press and hold the power button until you see the LED flashing.
• Just remember to switch off Bluetooth on other nearby devices you do not want to be connected to your Powerbeats. 
• If that doesn’t work or other issues come up with the buds, consider resetting them.

• Open the Settings app, then Connected devices.
• Next, select + Pair new device.
• This will prompt the phone to scan for available Bluetooth devices.
• Select the buds from the list of Available devices.
• The earbuds will be indicated by the model’s name, like Beats Studio Buds +.

• Once you open the case or power on the buds and place them next to your iPhone while it is unlocked, a pairing pop-up will appear on the screen.
• The pop-up will contain the earbud’s name and a representation of what they look like.
• You can select ‘Connect’ from there and follow the upcoming prompts to complete the pairing process.

When the pairing popup appears, select Connect and you can start using your Beats earbuds.

• The prompts will also ask whether you want to modify some settings; however, this is optional and can be done later, so it is safe to skip them.
• Once successfully paired, the phone will display the earbuds and charging case’s battery percentage.

• Open the Settings app and select Bluetooth.
• Ensure Bluetooth is turned on and wait for the phone to scan for available devices.
• The earbuds will appear under ‘Other devices,’ you can identify them via the model’s name.
• Select them, and you will successfully pair your iPhone/iPad to the earbuds.

• Open the Apple menu and select System Settings > Bluetooth.
• The Beats earbuds will be in the list of Bluetooth available devices.
• Hover the mouse cursor on the earbuds name and select the Connect option, which will reveal itself.

• Open the Start menu and navigate Settings > Bluetooth & devices.
• Confirm that Bluetooth is active, then go to + Add device > Bluetooth.
• Select the Beats buds from the available devices and wait for the devices to connect.
