Beats Solo HD: Using headphones in cold weather causes them to shutdown completely.

Tue, 30 Jan 2024 17:50:10 -0700

My Solo wireless have been working great. I use them while walking my dog for 2-3 hrs per day and the charge last about 2 weeks. This was true until now! Since the weather has cooled off (in the 20s) my headset shuts down about an hour into the walk. I get a chime then nothing, no lights , sound nothing, I cannot turn them back on they are just dead! When I get home and let them warm up for an hour or so, I can turn them on and they show full charge! Must be the cold because I can use them inside without them shutting down. Is this normal?

Beats Solo HD: Audio Channels not playing Correctly (Broken 3.5mm)

Mon, 30 Apr 2018 14:47:40 -0700

I think I may have a broken 3.5 mm port headphone-side. If the plug is fully inserted and twisted a bit, the audio plays quiet in both speakers, but one channel is significantly harder to hear. If the plug is pulled out just a bit, but still holding in tight, it works like new. Any help? Beats Support said $100 for replacement of these 6 year old headphones [BTW, these are green Beats Solo HDs (Serial Number J4112)].

Beats Solo HD: One side not working bluetooth beats solo 1st gen

Sat, 30 Apr 2022 04:47:52 -0700

Okay welp i started up my ole beats (solo wireless 1.0 (1st generation)) and one side (right) of my headphones dont work.

I tested it with wired (aux) both sides work, but not wirelessly.

“Reset” the device, no change.

Connected to another device, no change.

Opened it up and i dont see any wires being loose nor dirt. I think i know what cables i’ll need to look at (red and white) but i am not that experienced with headphones (first time for headphones), or soldering, but we gotta start somewhere. Not sure what to look for. included photos, blue star is left, red star is right. Green circle is where i think the problem is.

as of now the only thing ive done is taken the plate off to get photos

Beats Solo HD: My headphone is fading songs

Thu, 02 Nov 2017 03:42:24 -0700

Hello,

So I connected my headphone today with an aux cable to my pc but I noticed that the headphone is fading songs and making an electronic voice, So I tried to connect it to my phone via Bluetooth but it worked normally, So I decided to take a look inside the headphone to see if any wire is out of its place but I found that all wires connected to its place, I tried to reconnect my headphone to my phone via an aux cable but the same thing is happening, I don't know if the port in the headphone is broken or the aux cable how do I differentiate?
