How to Check Battery on Beats

Beats headphones and earbuds offer multiple ways to monitor your battery life, whether you're using an iPhone, Apple Watch, or just checking the device itself. Knowing your battery status helps you avoid interruptions during workouts, commutes, or listening sessions.

Check Battery on iPhone

Your iPhone provides several convenient ways to check your Beats battery levels.

Using the Batteries Widget

The fastest way to check your Beats battery is through the Today View on your iPhone:

1. 1.Swipe right on your Home Screen or Lock Screen to access Today View
2. 2.Scroll to the bottom and tap "Edit"
3. 3.Tap the plus sign next to "Batteries" to add the widget
4. 4.Tap "Done" in the top right corner

Now you can see your Beats battery percentage alongside other connected devices in Today View. If you're wearing Powerbeats Pro earbuds, the widget shows a single percentage rounded down to the earpiece with the lowest battery. Place one earbud in its charging case to see individual percentages for both earbuds and the case.

Using Control Center

Another quick method is through Control Center:

1. 1.Swipe down from the top right of your iPhone screen
2. 2.Look for your Beats device in the battery section

Pop-up Window Method

For wireless Beats earbuds like Powerbeats Pro:

1. 1.Open the charging case with earbuds inside
2. 2.Hold the case close to your unlocked iPhone
3. 3.A pop-up window appears showing battery levels for both earbuds and the case

Check Battery on Apple Watch

If you own an Apple Watch, you can check your Beats battery from your wrist:

1. 1.Swipe up on your watch face to open Control Center
2. 2.Tap the battery percentage icon
3. 3.Your Beats battery level appears as a ring below the watch battery percentage

This works whether your Beats are paired with your iPhone or directly with your Apple Watch. Place one earbud in its charging case to see individual battery levels.

Check Battery Using Siri

For Powerbeats Pro users, Siri offers a hands-free way to check battery levels:

1. 1.Say "Hey Siri" or press the voice activation button
2. 2.Ask "What is the battery level on my Powerbeats Pro?"
3. 3.Siri responds with charge levels for both earbuds and the charging case

You can ask this question while wearing your earbuds or through your iPhone.

Check Battery Using Indicator Lights

Powerbeats Pro Earbuds

Look at the left earbud (marked with "L") for battery status:

• White LED: Up to 15 hours of listening time remaining
• Solid Red LED: Less than one hour of battery left
• Blinking Red LED: Earbuds need immediate charging

Charging Case Indicator

When charging Powerbeats Pro earbuds:

• White light: Case has sufficient charge
• Red light: Case battery is at 40% or below and cannot fully charge both earbuds

Battery Life Expectations

Powerbeats Pro earbuds typically provide:

• Up to 9 hours of listening time
• Up to 6 hours of talk time
• Up to 24 hours total with the charging case

During use, you'll hear a tone when batteries are low and another tone just before they run out completely.

Check Battery on Android Devices

While Android devices don't offer the same integrated battery monitoring as Apple devices, you can still check your Beats battery:

1. 1.Connect your Beats to your Android device via Bluetooth
2. 2.Go to Settings > Bluetooth
3. 3.Tap the gear icon or "i" next to your connected Beats
4. 4.Look for battery level information in the device details

Some Android devices may show battery levels directly in the Bluetooth settings or status bar when Beats are connected.

Tips for Better Battery Management

• Charge your Beats regularly to maintain optimal battery health
• Store earbuds in their charging case when not in use
• Keep the charging case charged to ensure your earbuds are always ready
• Update your Beats firmware through the Beats app for optimal performance

By using these methods, you can always stay informed about your Beats battery status and avoid unexpected power loss during use.
