Beats Fit Pro use the physical “b” button on each earbud for playback, calls, and listening modes. Apple also lets supported devices customize the press-and-hold action, including volume control.
Default playback: press once to play/pause, double-press for next track, and triple-press for previous track. Press and hold switches between Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency unless you customize the action.
Playback controls
- Press once: play or pause.
- Double-press: next track.
- Triple-press: previous track.
- Press and hold: switch listening mode by default on supported setup.
Apple documents these controls in its Beats Fit Pro user guide.
How to use the buttons for volume
Volume can be adjusted from the connected device or voice assistant. Apple also supports assigning press-and-hold to volume up/down. When volume control is assigned to the buttons, that press-and-hold action is no longer available for another function on the same configuration.
ANC and Transparency
Press and hold the “b” button to switch between Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency when that action is assigned. Available modes and customization depend on the connected platform and settings.
If a control stops working
- Confirm both earbuds are charged and connected.
- Check the current press-and-hold assignments.
- Test the control in more than one app.
- Reconnect the earbuds before considering a reset.
- Use Apple’s model-specific reset procedure if needed.
Control Behavior Can Depend on the Connected Device
Physical button presses, press-and-hold actions, ANC or transparency switching, voice-assistant access, and volume control can vary with settings and the device being used. Check the current Beats or Apple instructions for the exact firmware and device combination when a shortcut behaves differently from expected.
Practical Setup Check
- Confirm each button action.
- Set the preferred listening-mode shortcut.
- Test calls and media separately.
- Verify volume behavior on the primary device.
