Now before we get to that, let\u2019s discuss the probable causes of this issue so you may avoid them going forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-669\" src=\"https:\/\/audiojust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/beat-headphones-blinking-white.jpg\" alt=\"beat headphones blinking white\" width=\"698\" height=\"469\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>Beats Headphones Blinking White: Possible Causes<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are not a lot of reasons why your Beats headphones will start blinking its white light indicator \u2013 reasons are often related to power. The major downside is that most of these can\u2019t be remedied as most of the devices in the Beats series are portable and don\u2019t support parts replacement.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Damaged Battery<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you got one of the early models, chances are that your device is now very old and the battery\u2019s capacity has been extensively depleted. This is often the case if you\u2019re a heavy user who\u2019s likely to exhaust the charge cycle (which is typically 500 charges) of their device.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most times, you will find the device blinking a white and red light and despite being plugged in, it will fail to charge. If you\u2019re using a model with an irreplaceable battery then you may need to get another Beats headphone.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Firmware Bug<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the firmware of your Beats headphone is outdated, or bugged, you will start having the white light indicator flashing. While this may not necessarily stop your usage immediately it can cause your device to cut off unexpectedly while you\u2019re playing.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Beats Headphone is Due for Rest<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This issue occurs most times when you\u2019ve been pairing it with multiple devices, or when its components go out of sync because of a power surge. You can simply perform a rest to get it working again.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Presence of Physical Damage<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you find your device flashing its white or red light indicator and you\u2019ve already covered the options above, then you may want to check the hardware itself for any possible damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most times you may find that the buttons are stiff or wires\/bands (depending on the model) looking damaged. In this case, you may decide to fix it if you\u2019ve got the technical knowledge or get a new one altogether.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Beats Headphones Blinking White Light: How to Fix<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Admittedly, most of the things that can cause a blinking white light on a Beats headphone are irreversible and you just need to get a new one. However, these are some of the fixes you can try, before opting for a replacement.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Charge for an Extended Period<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There have been multiple cases where clients solve this issue by simply leaving the charging device for an extended period. Doing this can solve your battery issue if it\u2019s always drained or seems to have exceeded the number of charge cycles. While this can be a nice solution, it may not be sustainable as the issue may arise again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While that\u2019s the case, you also want to consider changing the charger and charging cable while at it because it could be that your charger is faulty and doesn\u2019t supply enough voltage to the device.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Update the Headphone Software<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re using an Android device, you\u2019ll want to install Beats Updater, connect your phone to the headphone, and then check for firmware updates. In cases where there are none, you\u2019ll want to try out any of our other options especially if the issue still persists.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Hard Rest your Beats Headphone<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To reset Beats headphones are quite easy. Aside from the Powerbeats Pro which involves long-pressing the system button for about 10 seconds while the case is open, the other models can be reset simply by long-pressing the power button and volume down buttons together.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Contact Apple Support<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before giving up or taking your device apart you may want to consider this solution. Apple attaches a one-year limited warranty offer to their Beats headphones. If your device is fresh out of the box, then chances are that the problem you\u2019re facing is a direct fault of the manufacturer. When problems like this happen it\u2019s best to contact them to see if they have a lasting solution. More so, if you purchased from a certified Apple dealer, you may be eligible for a replacement if you haven\u2019t yet voided the terms of service within the warranty package.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Change the Battery<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If any of the above issues don\u2019t do the trick, then you may need to get yourself a new battery before \u2013 that\u2019s if you\u2019re capable of performing a replacement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple\u2019s Beat series is one of the high-end headphone lines by any manufacturing company.
