How Do I Turn Off Noise Cancellation on Beats?

Published in Audio Devices 2 mins read

To turn off noise cancellation on your Beats earbuds (Beats Studio Buds, Beats Studio Buds +, or Beats Fit Pro), simply press and hold the Beats logo button located on either earbud. This action will cycle through the available listening modes.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Understanding Listening Modes

Your Beats earbuds offer several listening modes:

  • Active Noise Cancellation (ANC): Blocks external sounds, allowing you to focus on your audio.
  • Transparency Mode: Lets you hear your surroundings while still listening to your audio.
  • Off (Noise Cancellation Off): Disables both ANC and Transparency mode.

Switching Between Modes

The default setting allows you to switch between Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode by pressing and holding the Beats logo button. However, you can customize this behavior to include the "Off" mode.

Customizing Listening Mode Options (using iOS/iPadOS):

  1. Open Settings: On your iPhone or iPad, go to the Settings app.
  2. Access Bluetooth: Tap on "Bluetooth."
  3. Find Your Beats: Locate your Beats earbuds in the list of connected devices.
  4. Tap the Info Button: Tap the "i" icon next to your Beats.
  5. Customize Press and Hold: Under "Press and Hold," you can choose what happens when you press and hold either the left or right earbud. Select either the left or right earbud to configure.
  6. Choose Your Modes: You can select which two modes you want to switch between with the press and hold action (e.g., Noise Cancellation & Transparency, or Transparency & Off, or Noise Cancellation & Off). By including "Off" in your selection, pressing and holding will eventually turn off noise cancellation.

Note: If you are using an Android device, you can often adjust these settings via the Beats app, which you can download from the Google Play Store. The process is similar: connect your Beats to the app, navigate to device settings, and look for options to customize the earbud controls.

By customizing these settings, you can configure your Beats earbuds to quickly turn off noise cancellation with a simple press and hold.
