7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Beats Studio Wired 2.0 headphones, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Problem	Possible Cause / Solution
No sound or low volume.	Ensure the audio cable is securely connected to both the headphones and the audio source. Check the volume level on your audio device. Verify the headphone battery is charged. The headphones require power for audio output and ANC. Try using the other 3.5mm audio cable if available.
Adaptive Noise Canceling (ANC) not working or "hissing" sound.	Ensure the headphones are powered on. A faint "hissing" sound is normal when ANC is active, especially in quiet environments, as it indicates the noise cancellation circuitry is working. If the hiss is excessive or there's no noise cancellation, ensure the ear cups are properly sealed around your ears.
Headphones not charging.	Check if the USB charging cable is properly connected to the headphones and the power adapter/USB port. Ensure the USB power adapter is securely plugged into a working wall outlet. Try a different USB port or power adapter.
RemoteTalk cable controls not responding.	Ensure the RemoteTalk cable is fully inserted into both the headphones and your audio device. Some functions may not be fully compatible with all non-Apple devices. Try restarting your audio device.
