3. Charge Beats Solo 3

These headphones are wireless headphones which work from the power of the battery. 

However, when the battery is low the drivers do not receive enough power to produce sound as a result your headphones’ sound cuts out. 

Therefore to fix this issue you should fully charge your headphones. These headphones will take 2 hours to fully charge. 

4. Change Battery

If your headphones sound keeps cutting out after full charge. Then your headphone’s battery is faulty that’s why it doesn’t hold a charge for a long time and the sound starts cutting out after a few minutes. 

Mostly headphones battery damage if you will expose them to heat, steam and water. Also, headphones’ batteries get damaged with time. 

So, if you have these headphones for a few years or are exposed to heat or sunlight then probably your headphones battery is damaged. 

Therefore you should replace their battery to fix problem.

You can buy a new battery for your headphones from central sound.

5. Update Firmware

In rare cases you will have this problem because of outdated firmware. So, you should update your headphone’s firmware.

If you are using your headphones with iPhone, iPad, or MacBook you don’t need to update the firmware because Apple devices will automatically update the firmware. However, it will only work if your Apple device’s iOS version is updated.

If you use your headphones with an Android phone then you need to download the Beats app.

First, install the Beats app and navigate to the notification tab.

There will be firmware update information if the update is available then follow the on-screen guide to complete the process.

6. Devices Interference

Then pair with one device that you want to use now. After that, your Beats Solo 3 sound will not cut out.
