Wondering how much battery life is left in your Beats by Dre earbuds or headphones? Whether you're using Beats Studio, Studio3, Powerbeats Pro, Solo3, Solo Pro, Fit Pro, it's super easy to check the battery level of your wireless headphones when you're using an iPhone. This wikiHow article will teach you 3 easy ways to check the battery status of any Beats wireless headphone or earbuds models on your iPhone.

How long does your Beats battery last when the light is red?

If the light is solid red, you have 1 hour or less of battery remaining. If the red light is blinking, you’ll have to charge your Beats as soon as possible. Check the battery of your Beats by looking at the power lights on the charging case or checking your Beats widget on your home screen.

      Tips

      • If you have Powerbeats Pro earbuds, you can also check the LED lights on the left earphone to see how much playback time you have left. A white LED means you have up to 15 hours of listening time remaining. If the LED is solid red, you have less than an hour—if the red light is blinking, you'll need to charge your earbuds as soon as possible. [7]
      • If you're using your Beats wireless earbuds or headphones with an Android, you can easily keep tabs on your battery levels using the Beats app. [8]
      • Do your Beats earbuds keep falling out of your ears? Try the Ear Tip Fit Test to make sure you're using the correct ear tip size. [9] Just go into Settings > Bluetooth , tap the small "i" in a circle next to your Beats earbuds, and select Ear Tip Fit Test to get started.
