How do I reset my Beats?

Resetting your Beats headphones can help resolve a number of issues you may encounter, such as connectivity problems or unwanted settings. Resetting returns the headphones to their factory settings, clearing any paired devices, customized settings, and updates. There are a few different ways to reset Beats headphones, depending on the model. In this article, we’ll go through the steps to reset common Beats models, as well as some troubleshooting tips.

Why Reset Beats Headphones?

There are a few common reasons you may want to reset your Beats:

• Trouble pairing – If your Beats won’t connect or pair with your device, resetting can clear out any problematic pairings.
• Connectivity issues – Resetting may help if your Beats are experiencing choppy/dropped connections, interference, or other wireless issues.
• Fix software/settings issues – If you’re having a problem caused by a software bug or incorrect settings, a reset often resolves it.
• Before selling/gifting – Reset to clear personal data and pairings before selling or gifting Beats to someone else.
• Improve battery life – Over time, resets can help keep battery life optimized on wireless Beats models.
