Beats Wireless Headphones Don't Go Loud Enough

I just bought a pair or wireless Beats headphones to listen to music on my Ipod but I am disappointed that the maximum sound volume is nowhere near loud enough for me.
I got my friend to try them and he said they were too quiet as well so its not just me.
Has anyone else experienced the same thing or got any advice about a way to increase the volume?

Hey Imaginos7, Volume is your issue with Beats? Really... Quality of the sound reproduction, durability, overall quality of the product would be much higher on my list of issues. Imaginos, Instead of going for max. volume, and having to deal with some permanent hearing damage (tinnitus) for the last 20 years+/-, (that little ringing in my ears that never goes away-- sometimes I swear the people next to me should be able to hear it), let me give you some advice... "TURN IT DOWN!!!" The ringing never goes away, it is with you, everywhere you go, and it get's madding at times. The only thing I can find for beats headphones output is 115Db, that's just shy of jets taking off and rock concerts! Anything over 80Db, (about the noise of a lawn mower from 5 to 10 feet) for more than 30 minutes is causing you damage, anything over 120Db only takes a few seconds to a few minutes, 140Db+ and you go deaf in seconds! If the volume is more than speaking volume from your headphones-- your doing damage. Now, with that said, If your attempting to drown out the outside world, invest in a good set of noise canceling headphones, unless you like the idea of always having to list to a sharp high C. (And just incase your wondering most of my damage came from racing bikes, from the wind rushing pass my ears for hours on end, the rest of background noise where I work, a few concerts, wearing headphones and age, or so the doctors tell me. And there is nothing that can be done to stop that fool ringing, protect your hearing, OK). Cheers.

Unable to pair Apple Wireless Keyboard in OS X 10.5.8

Hello everyone,
This is my first post here so if I mess it up, pls don't dog me too much...
I'm currently running OS X Tiger on a Dual PowerMac G5 2GHz with 3GB of RAM and all is well with the world. However, in an attempt to upgrade and become familar (more so) with OS X10.5 I've found that I am unable to pair with my wireless keyboard. I'm running 10.5 on a seperate drive. It sees the dongle, just won't pair with it. The Bluetooth dongle I'm using works fine in OS X 10.4.11, has for years. Any clues, is there something I'm missing?
I've read about Bluetooth issues with Leopard so I thought I would see if i could find an answer here. The keyboard is the original Apple wireless keyboard that came out a few years ago, Model M9270LL/A.

I don't think you're following me very well Mr Williams. I appreciate your attempt to assist and hopefully I won't come across as an **** here but, you're not helping. I will agree you, it seems to be a software issue...and it's called Leopard!
Let me explain something. I have not migrated this system, as per se, and for obvious reasons. The system has 2 HDD's. One has 10.4.11 on it and the other HDD has 10.5.8 installed. I can go from one to the other and it's the way I will continue to work until this problem has been resoved, if ever. I can NOT be productive without the Mac running, regardless of which OS. I'm attempting this because I have apps that must have Leopard, so I'm trying to make it work.
Just to be clear, I gave-up running OS X 10.3 several years ago but did not do so without kicking and screaming the entire way. Now, I'm comfortable with Tiger and I'm very glad I upgraded, as it's a much more stable OS but at this rate I'm about ready to give-up. I don't need Leopard and I don't want it, nor do I like the look and feel of it, I just wanted to try and attempt to upgrade and see if I could run some newer apps that won't run on Tiger. I will probably NEVER upgrade to an Intel Mac, even if I could afford to do so. And I will NEVER run Micro$oft Windoze on a Macintosh...period - EVER! That to me is just sacrilege...so just call me a purist, I care not. If I want to run that OS I'll do it on a PeeCee.
Back to the dicussion.
I'm typing this reply on the PowerMac running 10.4.11 using the keyboard in question and my Bluetooth dongle. And YES, the keyboard is the older, white keyboard. Did I not share the model # in the original post, Apple Keyboard model M9270LL/A ? Did you not Google that if you're not familiar with these Model numbers?
You said, "...Another thought: did you "unpair" the keyboard from the old system before trying to pair it with the new one?..." What exactly does that mean? That's makes no sense at all. "Can you "see" the keyboard in the bluetooth setup window when trying to set it up or not?" What does my original post say?? YES, I can see the keyboard in OS X 10.5.8, I just can not pair with it.
As a last resort I have installed the Apple Aluminum Keyboard Update, as per your suggestion, even though I don't have an aluminium keyboard and this 'update' installed successfully but my keyboard, although seen will still not pair with the dongle. I will NOT go buy a Al Keyboard just to test this issue. The only thing I've thought about purchasing is the Bluetooth module so that I don't need to use a dongle, but those are expensive and often hard to find. I have also removed the prefs file from /user/Library with no effect.
I almost forgot. I also have another BT dingle from Kensington and although the system sees it as does the other, it does not pair with the keyboard either. That dongle works fine on my PeeCee laptop without any problems, so both dongles are functioning correctly. Do you have any other suggestions you would like to share?
Thank you for your time.

Beats wireless headphones

I have a MacBook Air from mid 2012. I wanted to know the Beats Studio HD wireless Headphones are compatible with my Mac? I have issues syncing my Phone6 through Bluetooth so I wasn't sure. Thanks

Can you hook up multiple pairs of wireless headphones to the MDR-DS6500 base unit

Can you hook up multiple pairs of wireless headphnes to the MDR-DS6500 base unit or do you need a base unit for every pair you would like to connect to your tv? if you can which models are compatible?
Thanks

Do I need an AirPort to attach to each set of speakers that I want to connect, or is there another kind of receiver I can hook up to the speakers that do not have any kind of WiFi or Bluetooth configuration?
You basically have two choices: 1) Place an AirPort Express base station at each of the speaker locations, or 2) Use an AirPlay-Ready receiver that offers whole-home audio support. The latter would require that all speakers be connected back to the receiver.
Also, if I am planning to set up the airplay by using the extended network configuration, then the Wifi base station does not need to be an AirPort station? I have Fios and had trouble last time I tried to hook up an AirPort in place of the router that they provided.
The AirPlay networking protocol requires either a wireless or wired connection between the AirPlay server (typically iTunes) and the AirPlay speaker (AirPort Express, Apple TV, or an AirPlay-Ready receiver or speaker). AirPlay will traverse over an extended Wi-Fi network regardless of which manufacturer hardware is used.

Can't pair my beats wireless headphones via bluetooth

My air "sees" the headphones, but can't connect.

Contactizer does not support dialling via Bluetooth for the iPhone (partly because the iPhone does not have this functionality).
See this forum post on their Support pages:

Bluetooth between an iPhone and computer is only for internet tethering - nothing else.

Poor connection between Iphone5 and Beats Wireless Over-Ear Headphones

It used to work without any problems between my Iphone4s and my beats wireless headphones.
But when im using my beats to my iphone5 it seems to drop the connectivity while listening to music even thoug im having my phone in my pocket!
Is there any fix for this or does the iphone4s has a better bluetooth adapter?

Hi guys, here's a list of the hardware that i have, iOS device, iOS version installed on the iDevices and the results of bluetooth connectivity.
- Dr Dre Wireless Headphones
- iPhone 3GS on iOS 6 --> This iDevice has bluetooth 2.1 + EDR Hardware (according to Apple SPECS)
- iPhone 4 on iOS 6 --> This iDevice has bluetooth 2.1 + EDR Hardware (according to Apple SPECS)
- iPhone 4S on iOS 6 --> This iDevice has bluetooth 4.0 Hardware (according to Apple SPECS)
- iPhone 5 on iOS 6 --> This iDevice has bluetooth 4.0 Hardware (according to Apple SPECS)
- iPad 2 on iOS 6 --> This iDevice has bluetooth 2.1 + EDR Hardware (according to Apple SPECS)
- iPad 3 on iOS 6 --> This iDevice has bluetooth 4.0 Hardware (according to Apple SPECS)
Now for the results:
- Every iDevices listed up there USED TO WORK perfectly on iOS 5 except iPhone 5 because this iDevice didn't exist.
- iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and the iPad 2 all WORK FLAWLESSLY with the Dr Dre Wireless Headphones even on iOS 6 ... my guess on that is because the hardware on those iDevices support bluetooth 2.1 + EDR only (Apple SPECS).
- iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 and iPad 3 all DON'T WORK with the Dr Dre Wireless Headphones on iOS 6 ... my guess on that is because the hardware on those iDevices support bluetooth 4.0 (Apple SPECS).
It would seem that Apple is not using the same HARDWARE DRIVER and this seems to the basis of the problems with bluetooth headphone (i can't confirm anything for you people with car problems but BLUETOOTH HEADPHONES i can confirm since i have several brands with all the same results).
The problem that i have and i'm pretty sure most of you have with bluetooth headphones is connectivity DROPS or sound THAT STOPS PLAYING although the iPhone STILL THINK that it's sending sound to your headphones BUT no sound can be heard.
I will send this BUG report to Apple and see what happens ... and if you have the same problems ... why don't you send my bug report as well unless you guys think it's not clear enough or not well documented.
If i turn the iPhone bluetooth off and then back on WITHOUT touching the headphones it works for a couple of minutes and then it stops again.

Wireless Headphones - Will they work with iPods

I am thinking about getting a pair of wireless headphones, but before I invest in them, I want to make sure that they will work with the iPod nano 2nd generation if I get a pair that is not bluetooth. The cord will tend to get in the way while I'm working, which is why I'm thinking about wireless. I asked this before but didn't get any responses.

No ipod has wireless technology built in so wireless headphones are only going to work if the ones you get have a device that connects directly with the ipod to transmit the signal.

Unable to pair studio beats to iPhone 6

I have the latest pair of Studio wireless beats and an iPhone 6 fully updated.
I am unable to pair the two together. Have followed instructions from: the dre beats website.
Any help would be useful!

Found this on another thread. Maybe resetting the Beats will help. http://www.beatsbydre.com/support/troubleshooting/wireless/reset-wireless.html
Make sure Bluetooth is turned on for the iPhone, then place the Beats into discovery/pairing mode and follow the directions on the screen.

Pairing Bravia KDL-50W829B with Wireless headphones (Sony BTN200)

Hi, Own the KDLW829 set and recently purchased a set of Sony wireless headphones. I am not sure if the bluetooth option is designed to work for headphones - I have tried pairing but haven't been successful and a google search did throw up the likelihood that the bluetooth support for this TV only works for mouse/keyboard devices. Can someone clarify? Thanks

Hello jacksuarez7,
Greetings and thank you for your message. Based on the model you have provided KDL-50W829B, the only device supported for use with the Television is a Bluetooth mouse, it will allow you to register up to two units only.
In order to use your set of headphones it will be necessary to connect them directly to the Headphone / Audio out port available on the right rear side of your television and proceed changing the audio out setting to headphone as shown below:

Unable to pair ipad 3 and apple wireless keyboard

I own an Ipad 3 but am unable to pair it with my apple wireless keyboard. I bought it in Sept 2012 same day with keyboard. Both paired without issues daily. Once I downloaded the recent ios 6 update i've been unable to connect my keyboard with my ipad. The apple keyboard still pairs with my macbook pro and my iphone 4.

Lrlandés-
I never tried my function keys before, but most are working under iOS 4.3.5. I get no response for F3, F4, F5 or F6. I suspect those may be App-specific.
What model keyboard is yours? Mine is MC184LL/A, according to the box it came in.

I'm using beats by dre wireless headphones

hi there i'm using beats by dre wireless headphones, but i have a delay on the audio when watching videos, can anyone help me solve this?

don't believe it's a beats issue but a general bluetooth headset issue nor is it a iphone or ios issue but all devices could suffer from computer to smartphone
it's impossible for the iphone to know what proccesing the bluetooth headset does to the music at what
delay that would cause
and the head set don't even know that there is any image it need to sync with
so apple could not fix it in their end
and the headset maker can't really fix it in their end
apart from not trying to improve and filter noise and the likes from the audio
because that is what takes the time that cause the delay
so maybe the solution is using the cheapests worst sounding bluetooth headset you can find
as it would not cause a delay by trying to proccess the audio
