How to Mute with Powerbeats Pro?

Published in Powerbeats Pro Mute 2 mins read

You can mute the microphone on your Powerbeats Pro by configuring the Multi-Function Button (MFB) within the Beats app for Android, and then pressing the MFB according to your chosen setting.

Configuring the Mute/Unmute Function

To enable the microphone mute/unmute capability on your Powerbeats Pro, you first need to set up how the Multi-Function Button (MFB) on your earbuds will control this feature. This configuration is done through the Beats app on an Android device.

Follow these steps to configure the mute/unmute setting:

  1. Open the Beats App: Launch the Beats app on your Android smartphone or tablet.
  2. Access Device Settings: Tap the menu icon (often represented by three horizontal lines or dots), then select My Beats to display the specific settings screen for your Powerbeats Pro.
  3. Navigate to Mute Controls: Scroll down the device screen until you find and tap on Mute & Unmute.
  4. Select Your Action: You will be presented with options to choose how you want to toggle the microphone:
    • Press Once: If you select this, pressing the MFB on your Powerbeats Pro one time will mute or unmute the microphone.
    • Press Twice: If you select this option, pressing the MFB two times in quick succession will mute or unmute the microphone.

Muting Your Microphone During Use

Once you have successfully configured the Mute & Unmute setting in the Beats app, using the mute function is straightforward during calls or when using the microphone for other audio input.

  • Using the Multi-Function Button (MFB):
    • If you configured the "Press Once" action, simply press the Multi-Function Button (the "b" button on the outside of your earbud) a single time to toggle between muted and unmuted states.
    • If you configured the "Press Twice" action, quickly press the Multi-Function Button two times to toggle the microphone's mute status.

The MFB is typically located on the outer casing of both Powerbeats Pro earbuds, allowing for convenient access during use.
