Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Sometimes, if the Beats earbuds can’t connect to other devices, it may be because dirt or tiny things have collected on the metal spots that touch each other. These metal spots are inside the charging case and on the earbuds. They’re like little bridges that help the earbuds talk to the charging case and get charged up.

When the battery is empty, it usually takes about 2 hours to charge fully using the AC adapter. If you’re using a USB connection from a laptop or another device, it takes a bit longer to charge.

If the Beats Studio Buds or Beats Studio Buds + aren’t charging properly, there are a few things we can try. First, we must confirm that we put the earbuds correctly in their charging case. We can also try using a different plug to charge them or a new charging cable. If those steps don’t work, we can reset the Beats Studio Buds or Beats Studio Buds + to see if that helps fix the problem.
