Hi, Just opened up my beats flex and paired with my iPhone. Now on my mac, under Bluetooth I select Beats Flex and press connect. Beats Flex becomes bold. Sound still comes out of my laptop not the headphones. About two minutes later Beats Flex no longer bold.
Got a tip for us?

I have the same problem. Worked with the Apple techs for over an hour yesterday with no solution. They took a dump of my system and they'll get back to me this afternoon. I'll update here when that happens.
I see the same. Also, the web page states macOS 11 compatibility which is Big Sur,
"1 Compatible with iOS and iPadOS 14 or later, MacOS 11 or later, WatchOS 7 or later, and tvOS 14 or later; compatibility will vary on Android devices."

and I have read on Reddit that new Apple headphones typically need a follow up macOS update. So the question is will we see a 10.15.8 with Beats Flex support? I assume it is only a matter of time.

Reddit helped me out with this. Forget the beats flex on all your devices. turn off all bluetooth on phone, ipad, whatever. Hold the power button for 15 seconds on the beats to reset them, then connect on the mac. That worked for me, connected first time.
Good news! Just installed Big Sur, and the Beats Flex work just fine with my MacBook Pro. Seems like they got it fixed.
