How To Fix Powerbeats Pro Charging Issue?

You can fix the charging problem of your earbuds and case yourself. Here are a few easy tips to fix the Powerbeats Pro earbuds charging problem.

1. Place Your Earbuds Properly

The design of the Powerbeats Pro case is a bit different than other earbuds. The most common reason Powerbeats Pro is not charging is because of improper placement of earbuds in the charging case.

If one of your Powerbeats Pro is not charging, then remove both earbuds from the case and put them back. Ensure the metal contacts are aligned, then gently push them to make proper contact with the current flow.

A small LED light is present on each earbud, which turns white when placed correctly in the case. If the LED light doesn’t turn white, remove the earbuds from the case and head to the next solution.

2. Clean the Metal Contacts

Powerbeats Pro are IPX4 rated, which means earbuds are water resistant, but dust particles can accumulate near the metal contact and insulate the current flow.

So, it’s important to regularly clean Powerbeats Pro earbuds and charging case. Use a microfibre cloth or Q-tip dipped into isopropyl alcohol to clean the wax buildup around the metal contacts.

3. Turn OFF Automatic Ear Detection

Automatic Ear detection is a great feature to automatically play and pause music when earbuds are removed or placed back in your ears.

But sometimes, this feature creates charging issues. So, it’s better to turn OFF the ear detection and check whether the charging problem is fixed.

To do that, go to your iPhone’s Bluetooth settings and tap on the “(i)” icon next to Powerbeats Pro.

Now, toggle OFF the “Automatic Ear Detection” feature and then try to charge Powerbeats Pro. Hopefully, this time Powerbeats Pro will start charging.

4. Reset Your Powerbeats

There might be a minor software glitch due to which Powerbeats Pro won’t charge. It can be resolved by resetting the buds.

To reset Powerbeats Pro, place both earbuds in the case and keep the lid open.

Now press and hold the System button for 10 seconds until you see the LED light flashes red and white alternately.

Afterward, pair your smartphone with Powerbeats Pro again to check the battery percentage.

5. Update Firmware

If Powerbeats Pro is not charging, ensure you use the latest version of the earbud’s firmware.

Apple regularly releases new firmware updates with bug fixes and performance improvements. So, it’s important to keep Powerbeats Pro up-to-date.

To update Powerbeats Pro, connect your earbuds to the iPhone and then go to Settings.

Open Settings> General> About and scroll down to check Powerbeats firmware.
