Questions & Answers for Beats Solo3 Wireless On-Ear Headphones - Gloss Black

I have problems connecting Beats solo 3 to iMac late 2012 and iPad Air 1, but not on iPod touch from 2011.
But after reading instructions I managed to do that:
- turn OFF Beats solo 3
- turn Bluetooth ON on your device
- now press AND HOLD button on Beats for 5 seconds (slowly count to 5)
- lights on Beats should slowly blink
- now there comes a tricky part: it takes at least 10 seconds (sometimes even 30 seconds) for Beats to appear in device's menu of Bluetooth devices

The new W1 chip from Apple is designed to facilitate a connection to Apple devices with just the tap of a on screen button on your iPhone. Simply turn on the headphones, make sure they’re near your phone, and follow the instructions that appear on your screen, assuming you have BlueTooth enabled. Once the headphones are connected, they’ll automatically show up on your other Apple devices signed into your iCloud account. Simply connect to them using the device you wish to use them with. The chip also helps achieve better BlueTooth range and battery life (up to 40 hours on the Solo 3’s,) so your headphones are ready to rock out wen you are. Plus, with the “Fast Fuel” feature, give them five minutes of charge time, and they’ll give you three hours of use. Hope that helps.

The connection is super solid, but the only downside is the initial pairing. Since windows doesn't have a w1 chip you'll have to pair it like a normal bluetooth device. But other than that it works amazing on windows.

They are not water-proof or water resistant.

I've used them for both working out and sweaty cardio sessions including running. The sweat will give the ear sponge area the aroma of a stinky teenager marinating in 100 degree gym sweat....ANDDDD it never goes away, so you get to wear your smell of shame for the entirety of your headphones unless by some miracle they make replacement pads. Please sweet baby Jesus!!!!
