1. All five white charging lights and the power button light would pulse following a single red light with the power button light, this sequence would happen three times.
2. Next, a red light would flash three times.
3. After that, a single white light from the charging lights would fade in and out as long as the beats are connected to a power source.

If I try to turn the beats on while connected to the original charging cable the red light would flash three times before the white light continues to fade in and out.

Below is a list of things that I have already attempted.

1. Resetting the beats. The website said to hold down the power button and the volume buttons for 10 seconds. I’ve tried it without the power plugged in and there is no response from the lights. When I try it plugged in the beats would repeat the light sequence in the order on the list above.
2. Updating the firmware. I have downloaded the beats software thing from the site. and plugged the beats in. The beats would show up with the correct name I’ve assigned to it, and the battery percentage would show 0%. It would tell me that the beats are up to date, and give me the option of changing the name of the beats.
3. Letting it charge. I’ve left the beats on my countertop for about four days to charge. the only thing that would happen is the pulsating white light.
4. Plugging in the aux and connecting to a phone. There would be no response from this action whatsoever.

What do you guys think? I guess would be water damage from me sweating, but other than that I don’t know how to go about this situation. Is this possible to fix? (Before anyone says take it to apple that option will be my last resort, probably to buy a new one.) But these beats means a lot to me for personal reasons and I do not want to give up on them.

These are the black and gold beats studio 3 wireless headphones. There is no option for this electronic so I chose Beats studio 2 as the electronic option.

That said, my “Beats won’t charge anymore” situation can’t be a strange one. Could be your issue too.

SYMPTOMS and DIAGNOSIS: I can connect the USB charging cable (connected to the Wall-wart in “charge mode”) and jiggle/move it around and frequently it will make the (normal) charging lights come on. When I let go of the pressure, charging stops and the RED slow blinking single light starts up. It fades out after a while. Never charges.

To test the connector without disassembly, I used one of those colorful giant rubber band style “wrist bands” folks use for advertising promotions to physically hold the Male USB connecter FIRMLY INTO the USB port on my Beats Studio 2 Wireless headset. The pressure from the rubber band firmly pushing the cable head at a slight angle from perpendicular into the USB connector on the headset actually worked. The unit finally fully charged in 2 hours, but I cannot figure out HOW to get into the unit to repair/re-secure the Female USB connector on my Beats Headset without destroying it. I am an amateur and won’t risk them becoming landfill material just yet. They work great when they work.

Could I perhaps take this unit to a “Repair Shop” like UBreak-iFix and get it repaired for a reasonable price (like $30-$50)? This has to be a pretty simple repair to the case structure holding the female USB connector component to the main board or possibly a simple re-solder to the connector with a “Superglue” repair story. I just dont know how to get in there to judge the situation without doing more damage to the case or connector or worse, breaking something else I can’t fix at all.

CONFESSION: I believe this headset was accidently knocked to the floor with the charging cable inserted into the USB port. Bet that’s how the “damage” occurred. Something around that cable head probably “gave” on impact.

LASTLY: Would I need to get new ear pad(s)/cup(s) if a repair person has to “go in” for an “internal” repair/replace of the the Female USB connector to make it properly charge again?

Love to get this headset repaired . Been unable to use for like 2 years now… well, except for the time I used the rubber band thingy to make the charging cable finally work… Thanks in advance for any ideas or help offered. Love my Beats…

The string of charging lights on my Beats Studio3 headphones never indicates that charging is complete, the final light in the sequence will continue to flash perpetually (I tested by leaving them charging for 24 hours). Also, when connect to my phone after an extremely long charging sequence, the battery will indicate that it is 97-99% full, and never reaches 100%. I have gone through 2 pairs with the same issue in the past 2 weeks. I have performed a reset on both headphones numerous times to no avail. Any ideas?

So if I plug in the charger and keep it plugged in and then plug in the Audio cable, the headphones will work as long as both the charger and audio cable remain plugged in.

Another weird thing is if I instead plug in the audio cable first and then the charger, the LED battery indicator light (first light only) will flash quickly and then the LED lights will not flash at all. On top of that the audio will not work either so I have to plug in the charger (keep it plugged in) and then plug in the audio cable, thought that was weird.

Anyhow do you guys know of a possible fix? I'd like to let you know that I have two pairs of Beats Studio 2.0 headphones. One of them has a broken headband and bracket but the audio works fine and then there's this one which has no broken parts besides the battery (idk where the battery would be in the Studio 2.0) I guess? Anyhow any help is appreciated.

The light indicator shows that they are charging but it is taking forever.

I have tried 2 cables and charging from 2 different computers, 2 different 5W iPhone chargers and a 15W iPad charger with the same result.

has anyone experienced something like this and have any advice?

Thanks!!

Can somebody please help me?
