Can you track Beats headphones on iPhone?

Answered by Douglas Hiatt

You can track Beats headphones on iPhone using Apple’s Find My app. This feature is available for Beats headphones that have either the H1 or W1 chip, such as Powerbeats Pro, Studio 3 Wireless, or Beats Flex. To use this feature, you need to have iOS 14.5 or later installed on your iPhone or iPadOS 14.5 or later on your iPad.

The Find My app is a powerful tool that allows you to locate your Apple devices, including your Beats headphones, on a map. This can be incredibly useful if you’ve misplaced your headphones or if they’ve been lost or stolen. Here’s how you can track your Beats headphones using the Find My app:

1. Ensure that your Beats headphones are connected to your iPhone or iPad. This can be done by pairing them via Bluetooth.

2. Open the Find My app on your iPhone or iPad. If you don’t have it installed, you can download it from the App Store.

3. Sign in with your Apple ID. Make sure you use the same Apple ID that is associated with your Beats headphones.

4. Once you’re signed in, you should see a list of your devices, including your Beats headphones. If your headphones are nearby and connected, they should appear as “Connected” on the list.

5. If your Beats headphones are not nearby or connected, you can tap on them in the list to access additional options.

6. From here, you have a few options to choose from. You can tap on “Play Sound” to play a sound on your headphones, making it easier to locate them if they’re nearby. This can be especially helpful if you’ve misplaced your headphones in your home or office.

7. If your Beats headphones are not within Bluetooth range or are in a different location, you can tap on “Directions” to get directions to their last known location. This can be useful if you believe your headphones were lost or stolen.

8. Additionally, if someone finds your Beats headphones and attempts to connect them to their own device, you will receive a notification on your iPhone or iPad. This can help you track down your headphones if they’ve been taken by someone else.

It’s important to note that the accuracy of the location information provided by the Find My app may vary depending on various factors, such as the availability of GPS signals and the proximity of your headphones to your device. However, this feature can still be incredibly helpful in locating your Beats headphones in most cases.

If you have Beats headphones with the H1 or W1 chip and you’re running iOS 14.5 or later on your iPhone or iPadOS 14.5 or later on your iPad, you can use Apple’s Find My app to track and locate your headphones. This feature can be a lifesaver if you’ve misplaced your headphones or if they’ve been lost or stolen.
