“I got a pair and ended up returning them because it didn’t have on ear detection”— @crazzei on YouTube
“mine would also lose 10% battery per night while off. Some folks on Reddit said turning "Find My" off would fix it - not for me. Hopefully others don't have this problem. As for me, I returned it and I might take another swing in a year or so. But for now, it's just too much money for what feels like an oddly wonky product.”— @jasonwrites9186 on YouTube
“I actually ended up taking them back, I like beats. But the anc buzzing was terrible and I couldn’t handle it”— @chasecrallie2557 on YouTube
“Mine hiss like crazy. Especially during podcasts and audiobooks.”— @MyCaveDownUnder on YouTube
“I have never been more disappointed with a pair of headphones. They are loud with zero depth.”— @SuperAmazinglover on YouTube
“Had to return my first pair because at random times the right side would have this rattling sound (like a blown subwoofer)”— @juniorsegovia116 on YouTube
“I have the version 4A203 and I think they sound pretty terrible..”— @BeJayMiller on YouTube
“I love the look man with the hiss, the tuning, and the scratchy knit cushions it was a major disappointment.”— @captainchau on YouTube
“this hiss is really bad, very annoying, on top of this, HongKong apple DO NOT REFUND!! this is a terrible product”— @jeffw1082 on YouTube
“I fully charged mine, went to the gym, did a bit of shopping came back and they were on 56%.”— @blenlmao on YouTube
“The comfort, design, and customization are awesome, but the audio tuning and hiss just didn’t cut it; definitely not worth the price for me.”— @awesomekrk on YouTube
“Mine, the battery percentage goes down when not in use after being charged all night. So when I got to grab them after a couple of days they’re already at 50%”— @kinneyklan on YouTube
Not complaints — practical notes from owners that didn't affect the score.
“Great to hear! Hopefully the niggles can be solved with an update. I also find it strange that they only turn off after 7 hours and don’t give you an option to change that”— sillywhiteman on r/beatsbydre
“Also 4A262 didn’t improve anything imo. Maybe slightly different, I wouldn’t trust anyone without measurements. Things can sound different to the ear based on the time of day!”— Accurate_Case_3257 on r/beatsbydre
“I think that’s partly because the Beats 360 are all over the place QC wise and do all sound different. I found the 360 very tinny, narrow and just lacking.”— Ultimate_os on r/beatsbydre
“yes, this appears to be a firmware issue that can be fixed by turning bluetooth off and on again (or disconnecting and reconnecting). I'd like to think that the next firmware update will fix this, but we'll see”— barnacles95 on r/beatsbydre
“I had this issue as well and resets didn’t work…until I chose forget this device in the Bluetooth settings before doing the reset. Haven’t had an issue since and it actually holds its power percentage overnight with no issues.”— Responsible_Factor_2 on r/beatsbydre
“The ear cup size/shape is definitely a problem if you have big ears. Maybe after market will make larger cups but don’t count on it.”— Fxrdetes on r/beatsbydre
“Had the same thing. Needs a firmware update. Find my shouldn’t be doing that…at least it doesn’t on AirTags and other find my stuff.”— peanutbutteryummmm on r/beatsbydre
“Well That settles it, i will unfortunately skip on the 360s which sucks because they look great and looked like the perfect gym headphones but that hissing sound would annoy me.”— beardude5 on r/beatsbydre
