Connecting Beats Fit Pro to Windows Laptop
Connecting your Beats Fit Pro to a Windows laptop is usually a quick and easy process using Bluetooth. Here’s how:
Step 1: Put your Beats Fit Pro in Pairing Mode
First, you need to ensure your Beats Fit Pro earbuds are ready to connect. This usually involves putting them into pairing mode. Here's how to typically do it:
- Open the charging case: Take your Beats Fit Pro earbuds out of their charging case.
- Power on: Make sure both earbuds are powered on. You'll usually see an indicator light.
- Enter pairing mode: Press and hold the button on the charging case. The light on the case should start flashing, indicating it’s in pairing mode. (Consult your Beats Fit Pro manual for specific instructions if the light doesn't flash, as the exact process can vary slightly based on the Beats Fit Pro version).
Step 2: Enable Bluetooth on your Windows Laptop
Next, you’ll need to make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your Windows laptop:
- Open Settings: Click the Start button, then select “Settings”.
- Go to Bluetooth & devices: Click on "Bluetooth & devices".
- Turn on Bluetooth: Ensure the Bluetooth toggle is switched to the "On" position.
Step 3: Pair your Beats Fit Pro
Your Windows laptop should now automatically search for nearby Bluetooth devices. Your Beats Fit Pro should appear in the list as "Beats Fit Pro" (or a similar name). Select it to pair the devices. You might be prompted to enter a PIN (usually "0000"), so be ready for that.
Step 4: Enjoy your Audio!
Once paired, your Beats Fit Pro should be connected, and you can start enjoying your audio. Your laptop should automatically connect to your Beats Fit Pro the next time you power them on.
Connecting Beats Fit Pro to macOS Laptop
Connecting your Beats Fit Pro to your macOS laptop is very similar to the Windows process.

Follow the same steps as outlined above for putting your Beats Fit Pro earbuds into pairing mode. Remember to check your Beats Fit Pro manual for precise instructions if you encounter any difficulties.
Step 2: Enable Bluetooth on your macOS Laptop
Next, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your macOS system:
- Click the Bluetooth icon: Look for the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar at the top of your screen (it looks like a small “B”). If you don't see it, you may need to add it to the menu bar in System Preferences.
- Turn Bluetooth On: Ensure Bluetooth is turned on.
Step 3: Pair your Beats Fit Pro
Your Mac will automatically scan for nearby Bluetooth devices. Select "Beats Fit Pro" (or a similar name) from the list of available devices to begin pairing. You may be asked to confirm the pairing.
Step 4: Enjoy your Audio!
After successfully pairing, you should be able to hear audio through your Beats Fit Pro. Your Mac should automatically reconnect to your earbuds upon subsequent use.
