Features that need a specific device
ABeats Powerbeats Pro
| Feature | Needs |
|---|---|
| Original Apple one-tap setup and account pairing | Original release requires iCloud and macOS 10.14.4, iOS 12.2 or watchOS 5.2 or later. Account pairing is distinct from automatic audio routing and simultaneous Bluetooth multipoint. |
| Siri | Compatible Apple device, internet connection and supported language/region. Hey Siri voice activation or hold the multifunction button. |
| Audio Sharing | Apple December 2020 release explicitly supports two Powerbeats Pro pairs receiving one Apple TV 4K stream through Control Center. This is a later host software feature. |
| Dolby Atmos music | Apple Music on a compatible updated iPhone, supported Atmos tracks and Dolby Atmos enabled. Static music rendering is not proof of dynamic head tracking. |
| Automatic switching between Apple devices | Later 2020 host software. Same iCloud account and compatible Apple devices using iOS 14, iPadOS 14, macOS Big Sur or corresponding latest host software. Automatic source switching is distinct from simultaneous Bluetooth multipoint. |
| Beats Android app and firmware updates | Current Beats app supports the original Powerbeats Pro. Bluetooth permission is required for pairing and firmware updates. Location permission is optional and enables finding at the last connection or disconnection location. |
| Last location in the Beats Android app | Location access must be enabled to record the last connection or disconnection location. This is phone/app location history, not a crowdsourced finding network or UWB precision finding. |
| Headphone Accommodations | Compatible iPhone or iPad using iOS or iPadOS 14 or later. Host accessibility settings amplify soft sounds and tune audio for calls or media. This is not a clinical hearing-aid claim or an onboard hearing test. |

| 360 Audio and head tracking | Compatible Galaxy Android One UI 3.1+ phone/tablet or listed Samsung TV. Direct multi-channel requires One UI 4.1.1+. App/content support varies. |
| Auto Switch | Supported Galaxy devices signed into same Samsung Account. Galaxy Book One UI 6.0+, phones/tablets One UI 4.1.1+, Watch 4 or later. Samsung TV 2022 or later after required firmware. This is device switching. |
| Live translation and Interpreter | Compatible Galaxy AI phone and latest required software. Samsung Account and supported language package can be required. Translation is performed on phone. |
| Gaming Mode | Samsung Android mobile device only. |
| Voice commands and Bixby | Bixby-compatible phone for assistant. Fixed voice commands are limited to supported languages and installed matching language package. |
| Windows audio | Use compatible Windows Bluetooth adapter. Exact Buds3 Pro maker pairing guide uses case-bottom connect button held for 3 seconds, then Windows Bluetooth device pairing. Microphone operation is not inferred from the music-pairing guide. |
| Windows firmware updates | Samsung Galaxy Buds PC app from Microsoft Store explicitly supports Buds3 Pro. Fully charge buds, put them in case and open lid for connection, then Earbuds software update. This is distinct from legacy Galaxy Buds Manager for older models, so no Mac app support is inferred. |
