Do Beats turn on automatically?

Answered by Ricardo McCardle

The Powerbeats Pro have a feature called Auto Play that allows them to automatically turn on and connect to your device when you put them in your ears. This feature is quite convenient as it eliminates the need to manually turn on the earbuds and pair them with your device every time you want to use them.

When you remove the Powerbeats Pro from your ears, they will automatically pause the audio playback. This is a handy feature, especially if you need to quickly take out one or both earbuds to have a conversation or listen to something in your surroundings. The earbuds have sensors that detect when they are not in your ears, and this triggers the pause function.

If you remove just one earbud, the music or audio playback will pause, but it will automatically resume when you put the earbud back in your ear. This is useful for times when you quickly need to remove one earbud to listen to someone or hear an announcement, and then seamlessly continue listening when you put it back in.

However, if you remove both earbuds from your ears, the audio playback will stop completely and will not automatically resume when you put them back in. This is a safety feature that ensures you are fully aware of your surroundings when both earbuds are out of your ears. You will need to manually play the audio again when you put the earbuds back in.

It’s worth noting that the Auto Play feature can be customized in the settings of your device. Some people might prefer to turn off Auto Play if they want more control over when the earbuds connect and disconnect, or if they find that the automatic pause and resume function is not working as expected for their specific usage scenarios.

To turn off Auto Play, you can go to the Bluetooth settings on your device and look for the Powerbeats Pro in the list of paired devices. From there, you can disable the Auto Play feature.

The Powerbeats Pro have Auto Play functionality, which means they automatically turn on and connect to your device when you put them in your ears. They also have an automatic pause and resume feature when you remove one earbud, but the audio playback will completely stop if you remove both earbuds. You can customize these settings to your preference.
