Troubleshooting Connection Issues
Common Problems & Solutions
The LED indicator should flash white in pairing mode. If it's solid (not flashing), your Beats Studio Pro are already connected to another device. Disconnect from the previous device first, or perform a reset.
Press and hold the system button and volume down button simultaneously for 10 seconds. The LED will flash red and white, then restart. This clears all previous pairings. More details in our Beats Studio Pro guide.
If previously paired, remove the old connection: Go to your device's Bluetooth settings, find "Beats Studio Pro," tap the "i" icon (iOS) or settings gear (Android), and select "Forget This Device" or "Unpair."
Low battery can prevent pairing. Connect your Beats Studio Pro to power using the included USB-C cable for at least 10 minutes. The LED shows charging status: red = charging, white = fully charged.
Outdated firmware can cause connectivity issues. On iOS: Pair with iPhone/iPad and updates install automatically. On Android: Use the Beats app to check for and install firmware updates.
Simple but effective: Restart your phone, tablet, or computer. This clears temporary Bluetooth cache and resolves many connection conflicts.

Beats Studio Pro with Gaming Consoles
PlayStation 5 (PS5)
✅ Native Support: PS5 supports Bluetooth audio directly! Beats Studio Pro pairs just like any other Bluetooth headphones. However, note that game chat audio may have limitations.
On your PS5, go to Settings > Accessories > Bluetooth Accessories.
Press and hold the system button for 3 seconds on your Beats Studio Pro until the LED flashes white.
Select "Beats Studio Pro" when it appears in the PS5's Bluetooth devices list. Connection typically takes 5-7 seconds.
Xbox Series X|S
Xbox consoles do not support standard Bluetooth audio connections. You cannot pair Beats Studio Pro directly to Xbox.
Workaround Options: 1) Connect Beats Studio Pro to your TV via Bluetooth if your TV supports it, then route Xbox audio through TV. 2) Use the 3.5mm wired connection from your Xbox controller to the headphones using a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter. 3) Stream Xbox games to your phone via Xbox Cloud Gaming and connect Beats wirelessly to your phone.
Nintendo Switch
✅ Supported (Firmware 13.0+): Nintendo Switch added Bluetooth audio support in System Update 13.0. Pairing works similarly to other devices.
Ensure your Switch is running firmware 13.0 or later: System Settings > System > System Update.
Go to System Settings > Bluetooth Audio > Add Device.
Put your Beats Studio Pro in pairing mode (hold system button for 3 seconds) and select them from the Switch's device list.
Bluetooth audio introduces slight latency (30-50ms delay). For competitive gaming where split-second timing matters, consider using a wired connection or dedicated gaming headphones with low-latency wireless technology.
