Beats Earbuds Have No Sound (How to Fix)

Beats make some fantastic earbuds but they are sometimes going to stop producing sound. When that occurs, what can you do to fix the problem?

Beats earbuds might stop producing sound due to issues like magnetic interference, affecting audio and connectivity, or damage to the internal wiring, which could occur with time and extensive use. Both scenarios can have distinct impacts on the audio quality and functionality of the earbuds, offering challenges to the user experience.

Interference

This is a problem with many different earbuds, including Beats. Since they use tiny magnets inside of the earbuds to operate the sound and connectivity, any heavy magnetic force in the area can have an impact on the audio.

The easiest way to check this is to move away from any potential interference and try using the earbuds again. Some of the most common problems that can lead to this issue include microwaves, medical equipment, or even a magnetic phone case.

Otherwise, you may need to check the Bluetooth connectivity to ensure that it is not experiencing interference. You should be within 30 feet of the device you are using and avoid any large objects that may be blocking the past.

If you feel that Bluetooth interference is the problem and you can’t get it working properly, try removing the earbuds from the Bluetooth settings on the device. Turn everything off and on and then put things in discovery mode again. Repairing the earbuds will often do the trick.

Internal Wiring

Unfortunately, one of the reasons why your Beats earbuds may stop playing sound is because of damage to the internal wiring. This can occur over time and with heavy use.

You have a couple of options if you suspect that the wiring is no longer working properly. One thing you can try is opening up the earbud to look for any disconnected wires or damage to the small internal circuitry.

This should be done with caution. If you have a warranty on your Beats earbuds and you open them up to work internally, you are likely going to void the warranty and will not be able to use it.

Earbuds are an incredible piece of technology. They may be small, but they have a big impact on our lives and our enjoyment of music or anything else we listen to. What can be done when the earbuds are no longer producing sound?

When you are not getting any sound out of your earbuds, the first thing to check is the power. Many earbuds, especially those that utilize Bluetooth can be turned on and off with the push of a button. Make sure that the earbuds are turned on.

Of course, this is really only a superficial fix and there are many other options to consider that could cause your earbuds to stop producing sound.

Physical Damage

Physical wear and tear, like damaged wiring or internal components, can interrupt the audio signal. This may occur due to repeated bending, pulling, or other physical stresses on the earbuds. Checking for visible wear or wire exposure can help identify this issue.

Blockage or Obstruction

Accumulation of debris, earwax, or dust in the earbud, especially on the speaker mesh, can block sound output. Regular cleaning and ensuring that the earbuds are stored in a clean environment help in minimizing this problem.

Connection or Compatibility Issues

Problems with connecting the earbuds to the audio device, either through wired or wireless means, can result in no sound. This might involve issues like a poor Bluetooth connection, outdated software, or incompatibility with the device. Checking and updating the software, re-pairing, and testing with different devices can be useful steps to troubleshoot this issue.

For wired earbuds, make sure that the plug is fully seated into the device. If necessary, unplug it and plug it in again fully.

Bluetooth earbuds may need to be repaired with the device on occasion. After turning off the earbud or putting it back into its case, remove it and put the device on discovery mode. After reconnecting, make sure that you stay within range (30 feet).

Common Reason Earbuds Have No Sound

It’s one thing to know the issue that is causing your earbuds not to produce sound. It is quite another to understand how to fix the problem. After all, we can’t enjoy using them until the problem is repaired.

Here are 3 different things you can do to get your earbuds back up and running properly again.

Addressing Physical Damage

If the earbuds have visible physical damage, like exposed wires or evident wear, a temporary fix might involve carefully using electrical tape to secure the damaged area. For a more permanent solution, consider professional repair or ultimately replacing the earbuds if they are beyond repair.

Cleaning the Earbuds

If debris or earwax is blocking the speaker mesh, use a small, gentle brush (like a clean toothbrush) to delicately remove any visible blockages. Alternatively, use a dry, soft cloth to clean around the earbuds and ensure that the speaker mesh is clear of obstructions to allow sound to pass through freely.

Troubleshooting Connection Issues

For connectivity problems, ensure your device’s software is updated and try disconnecting and reconnecting the earbuds. If using Bluetooth, unpair the earbuds, restart the device, and then re-pair them. For wired earbuds, ensure that the jack is fully inserted into the audio device and test them with another device to rule out issues with the original audio source.
