Connecting Beats to an iPhone is generally quick because they are designed to integrate seamlessly with Apple's ecosystem. You can usually connect them using the automatic pop-up method, or manually via Bluetooth settings if that fails.

Step 4. Tap "Connect."

If the automatic card doesn't show up, you likely need to force the Beats into "Pairing Mode."

Step 2. Go to the Settings app on your iPhone, and enter Bluetooth.

Step 3. Look under the "Other Devices" list at the bottom. Choose your Beats headphones from the list of available devices.

Part 4: FAQs about Beats Won't Connect to iPhone

• 1. What does the flashing Red and White light mean?

  This indicates the Beats are in a Factory Reset state or are attempting to reset. If they are stuck flashing this way, they haven't successfully re-paired yet. You should "Forget" the device on your iPhone and start the pairing process from scratch.

• 2. How do I check the battery percentage without the pop-up?

  You don't need the pop-up every time. You can add the "Batteries" widget to your iPhone Home Screen or Today View. It will show the exact % of the case and buds constantly. Or tap the AirPlay icon while music is playing; the battery % often appears there.

• 3. Why is only one earbud working/connecting?

  This is a common "sync" failure where the two buds stop talking to each other. You can put both buds in the case, leave the lid open, and perform a factory reset (hold the system button for 15 seconds). This forces them to re-sync with one another. Also, look inside the case. If one charging pin is dirty (earwax/dust), that earbud might be dead (0% battery) because it never charged. Clean the contact points with a Q-tip.
