Why do my Powerbeats 3 keep turning off?

Answered by Jeremy Urbaniak

There can be several reasons why your Powerbeats3 earphones keep turning off unexpectedly. Here are some possible causes and solutions to help you troubleshoot the issue:

1. Low Battery: Ensure that your earphones are fully charged before use. If they are not charged properly, they may turn off unexpectedly. Connect them to a power source using the included charging cable and let them charge for at least an hour. Make sure the charging cable is securely connected to the earphones and the power source.

2. Poor Bluetooth Connection: If your Powerbeats3 keep disconnecting or turning off when connected to your device via Bluetooth, it could be due to a weak or unstable Bluetooth connection. Make sure your device is within the recommended range (usually up to 30 feet) and that there are no obstacles between your device and the earphones. You can also try resetting the Bluetooth connection on your device and reconnecting the earphones.

3. Software Issues: Sometimes, software glitches can cause your Powerbeats3 to turn off unexpectedly. Make sure that both your earphones and your device’s operating system are up to date. Check for any available firmware updates for your Powerbeats3 and install them if necessary. Additionally, you can try resetting your earphones by following the instructions provided in the Powerbeats3 user manual or on the Beats website.

4. Physical Damage: If your earphones have been subjected to physical damage, such as being dropped or exposed to water, it can affect their performance and cause them to turn off unexpectedly. Inspect your earphones for any visible damage, and if you notice any, contact the manufacturer for further assistance.

5. Automatic Power Off: The Powerbeats3 have a built-in feature that automatically turns them off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery life. If you are not actively using the earphones, they may turn off after a certain amount of time. To prevent this, make sure you are using the earphones actively or adjust the auto power off settings if available.

6. Hardware Fault: In some cases, there may be a hardware fault with your Powerbeats3 that is causing them to turn off unexpectedly. If you have tried all the above solutions and are still experiencing the issue, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer or authorized service center for further assistance or to inquire about warranty coverage.

Remember, these are just possible causes and solutions based on common issues. Your specific situation may vary, so it’s always a good idea to consult the user manual or reach out to the manufacturer for personalized support.
