If you happen to be in that category of users, you\u2019re in luck.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article, we\u2019ll be giving some solutions on how to fix your Beats headphones if it\u2019s not charging, and also, possible causes so you avoid it happening again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-907\" src=\"https:\/\/audiojust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/beats-headphoens-not-charging.jpg\" alt=\"beats headphones not charging\" width=\"698\" height=\"475\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>Beats Headphones Not Charging: Possible Causes<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are not a lot of reasons that can cause your Beats headphones to stop charging. Being a high-end durable device, it\u2019s well-built to avoid issues like this. However, this also means that some of these issues are not correctable as most Beats headphones are sealed, instead of coming with knots.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Damaged Charger or Charging Cable<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the most common cause of Beats headphones not charging. Rather than having a damaged headphone port, it\u2019s usually a result of a faulty charger. In most cases, it\u2019s either there was a power surge when the charger was plugged in, or the charger is no longer putting enough power on your headphones when plugged in.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Dirt Blocking the Charging Port<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve been using your Beats headphones for a while, or have kept it idle for a long period without cleaning, chances are that there has been an accumulation of debris in the charging port of your device. If this is the case, a simple cleaning of the charging port with a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol can do the trick.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Faulty Battery\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most people typically damage the batteries of their rechargeable devices in the first 3years of usage. What usually happens is that the charge cycle of the battery is exhausted, as such, the battery fails to properly hold a subsequent charge or doesn\u2019t even hold a charge at all. Meanwhile, even though the charging light indication may be on while plugged in, the battery won\u2019t be able to hold a charge.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Software Issue<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In rare cases, a software bug\/glitch can prevent your Beats headphones from charging. Usually, a simple restart\/reset can get it working again, but the lasting solution is to update the firmware of the device.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While that\u2019s the case, Beats headphones are designed to automatically update when connected to a device with an iPhone, iPad, or Mac. If you\u2019re using an Android, you can manually update with the Beats app.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Beats Headphones Not Charging: How to Fix<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While several problems can occur, stopping your device from charging, it\u2019s surprising that there\u2019s only so much you can do on the device without voiding its warranty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For this article, we\u2019ve focused on the procedures that won\u2019t lead to warranty violation, in case it comes to you needing to make a warranty claim.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Try Charging with Another Power Source<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the first solution you want to explore; it doesn\u2019t only get the job done, but it\u2019s also relatively the easiest. If you\u2019ve been using a bus-powered USB hub for charging your Beats headphones or anything that\u2019s not a direct wall outlet, you may want to try using a wall socket for a change. Also, you want to consider changing the wall socket you\u2019re using just in case that has been the problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Change the Charger and\/or USB Cable<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If that doesn\u2019t solve your problem, your next step should be an alternate charger. In some cases, especially after a power surge, your charger becomes the problem and not the device itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve got a spare charger around or have access to one you can test for free, you may want to try it on your device. This is often to make sure that you\u2019ve got an issue with your charger so you don\u2019t waste money buying a new one, especially if you\u2019re not sure if there was a power surge or not.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Clean the Charging Port and\/or Case<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is often the solution when you only notice the device charging with you move the charging cable around a little.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleaning your charging port or charging case is necessary even if you don\u2019t physically spot dirt because in most cases, what\u2019s clogging the golden\/metal contacts of the ports isn\u2019t visible. You can clean with a soft brush and then gently blow, or use a cotton swab soaked in rubbing alcohol to do the job.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Reset Your Beats Headphones<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the above headphones don\u2019t work, your next best option is to perform a factory reset, just in case the charging error is from a software bug. There are currently seven lines of Beats headphones, each with different steps for performing a factory reset.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>How to Reset Beats Flex<\/b><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Put your Beats Flex in your ears.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Press and hold the volume up and volume down buttons for 15 seconds.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The LED indicator will blink red twice, then white twice.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your headphones have been reset.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4><b>How to Reset Beats Studio Buds<\/b><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Put your Beats Studio Buds in your ears.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Press and hold the force sensor on either earbud for 15 seconds.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The LED indicator will flash red twice, then white twice.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your headphones have been reset.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4><b>How to Reset Beats Fit Pro<\/b><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Put your Beats Fit Pro in your ears.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Press and hold the force sensor on either earbud for 15 seconds.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The LED indicator will flash red twice, then white twice.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your headphones have been reset.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4><b>How to Reset Beats Solo3 Wireless<\/b><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure your headphones are turned off.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The LED indicator will flash white twice, then red twice.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your headphones have been reset.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4><b>How to Reset Beats Studio3 Wireless<\/b><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure your headphones are turned off.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The LED indicator will flash white twice, then red twice.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your headphones have been reset.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4><b>How to Reset Powerbeats Pro<\/b><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure your headphones are turned off.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The LED indicator will flash white twice, then red twice.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your headphones have been reset.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4><b>How to Reset BeatsX<\/b><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure your headphones are turned off.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Press and hold the power button and the volume down button for 10 seconds.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The LED indicator will flash white twice, then red twice.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your headphones have been reset.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Contact Support<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you happen to be using a Beats headphone that\u2019s available for warranty, and none of the steps above solves the charging problem, your next step should be contacting customer support.
