Pairing with an Android Device

What to Do if Pairing Gets Stuck
Sometimes, despite following all the steps, your Beats earbuds just won't finish pairing. This can be frustrating, but there are usually simple fixes. It’s important to remember that technology can sometimes be a bit finicky, so a little troubleshooting often helps. Don't worry, you know, most issues have a solution.
Trouble with Apple Music Subscription Pop-Ups
One specific issue some people encounter is that the pairing process quits after an Apple Music subscription window pops up. This can definitely stop things cold. If this happens, it means your device is trying to link the Beats to an Apple Music trial or account, which isn't always needed for basic pairing. You might need to close that pop-up or dismiss it. Sometimes, just trying the pairing process again after closing the music app can help, you know, clear the path.
If the pop-up persists, try completing the pairing without the music app open in the background. Or, if it's asking you to sign in, just skip that step if you can. The core pairing of the earbuds to your device's Bluetooth should not depend on an Apple Music subscription. It’s a separate function, really. You might even try restarting your phone or tablet, then trying the pairing steps again. This often clears up temporary software glitches, so it's a good thing to try.
Earbuds Not Entering Pairing Mode
If your Beats headphones won't even go into pairing mode, it can feel like a dead end. People look at Google and YouTube videos, but sometimes the fix isn't obvious for models like the Studio Wireless. First, make sure your Beats have enough battery charge. A low battery can prevent them from entering pairing mode. Charge them for a bit, then try again. This is a very common reason for trouble.
Next, try a reset. The exact method for resetting Beats varies by model, but it often involves holding down a specific button or combination of buttons on the earbuds or case for several seconds. This clears their memory of previous connections and can force them into pairing mode. For example, some models require holding the system button on the charging case.

Pairing Replacement or Single Earbuds
What if you lost one earbud of your Powerbeats Pro, or need to pair a replacement ear piece for your Beats? This is a situation that comes up, as seen in questions posted on Apple Support Communities. If you only have one earbud, it might not come up on your list of "available" devices to pair. This is because, as we mentioned earlier, you usually need both Beats in your case to pair with a new device. This rule applies to replacement earbuds too, you see.
For replacement earbuds, you typically need to place both the new earbud and your existing earbud into the charging case. Then, close the case and leave them for a little while, perhaps 10-15 minutes. This allows them to sync up with each other and the case. After that, you should be able to follow the standard pairing steps as if they were a new pair. It’s a way to get them to recognize each other and work together, so.
