Beats Studio Pro — manually choose an already-paired Mac source. Follow the stated exact-model and source scope.
Manufacturer-documented Reviewed 2026-11-09 · Revision 1
Follow these checks in Audio Fix →When this guide applies
Exact Beats Studio Pro over Bluetooth. The destination Mac already has this exact Beats paired. No call is active and you accept transferring the audio connection away from the first source. This is manual source selection. Confirm the first source has an active headphone connection; a saved pairing record alone is insufficient. No wired-audio procedure, factory reset or pairing-list clear is included.
Connection scope: Bluetooth. Symptom: Switching between devices isn’t working.
This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.
If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.
