Is the auto on/off defeatable? I would like to use in a noisy environment without necessarily plugging them into a audio source.

Yes you can turn on the noise cancelling just by pressing the power button for about 3 seconds

If you have just the cord plugged into the headset it will turn on. You don't necessarily have to have it plugged into an audio source. You will hear a subtle white noise sound, very, very subtle. But only when you arent playing music do you hear it. Often times I will just have the headphones not plugged into my phone just to block noise while I study and its amazing.

It turns on automatically when you plug the aux in. If you don't want to plug your aux to the beats, then just press and hold the button on the left side of the beats until the battery shows up. That should turn the Noise Cancelling on

I use mine without audio source all the time, use them for when I go to shooting range, and they are great for that.

I would avoid using it that way. I did & the unit died in a few months. Pyle repaired it. I don't use auto-offv & haven't had a problem since.

You don't ever turn them off (there is only an ON button, no off button). They automatically turn off when there is no signal for a few minutes.

You sure can. You can turn off any of the audio alerts by navigating to Settings > Audio Feedback. More details here: https://community.automatic.com/automatic/topics/why_does_it_beep_sometimes_can_i_turn_it_off

Yes, they can be turned off manually via a button on the bottom of the unit.

I can't get them to turn off unless I inplug it. If there's a button I do not know where

You can either unplug them from the box or you can put it on the "music mode" as I call it and just unplug the microphone

No trick. Room just needs to be dark enough for them to turn on. It works off a light sensor. They don't just turn on when you plug them in. If the room is dark but they won't turn on then they're defective and you should return them.

No. These are passive monitors and the power is turned on and off by your amplifier.

I'm really satisfied with the noise isolation, even though these don't have any switch to enable it. I think they isolate about 70% - 80% of external noise by themselves. Hope this helps!

Same question , but there are conflicting answers so I'm going to ask again with a disclaimer...Will the headphones work AT ALL if the battery is dead? I do understand that the noise cancelling functionality, and other advanced acoustics require power - but isn't it programmed to play basic audio if there is no charge? It's kinda crazy that a $10 pair of earphones can work without power buy a $350 device is useless without any power. Again, I'm not asking about full functionality - I need to know whether "bare-bones" audio functionality will work without a charge???

the speakers are powered by plugging the USB cable into your computer. I turn my computer off at night, so they turn off as well. If you leave your computer on 24/7, You would have to unplug them when not in use.

I haven't experienced that but like you said if there is no audio they do turn off sorry I couldn't answer your question

You can have them plugged in, but you will not be able to use them at the same time unless a program let's you select the output.

They have a switch on the bottom that you can set to on, off, or auto. Set it to auto and it will stay on for 5 hours. I have some that I turned on at 5pm so they stay on till 10, some that I turned on at 6 that stay on till 11pm. Easy! We've had them since xmas and still LOVE them! :)

There is no "on/off" button. They must be plugged into the wall to turn on, unplugged to turn off.
