These wireless headphones are fantastic. I mainly got them for music while running but i use them just as much for phone calls and they nail both tasks. The powerbeats pro have very good audio quality and are bass heavy. They pair instantly with you Apple devices and switch between them seamlessly. Yes these also work with android phone as well, i just believe you need to download the app as the settings arent integrated into android like on Apple. I went with these over the Airpods and i am very happy I did. With a lot of wireless buds on the market there is the possibility they can fall out of your ear and get lost and i know this has happened to quite a few people but the powerbeats pro have nice hooks that go over and behind your ear ensuring that these will definitely not fall off. They are also extremely lightweight and sweat/water resistant (IPX4 i believe.) i highly recommend the Powerbeats Pro.

I am very happy with this upgrade. I have owned other Beats products so I have high expectations. These headphones are so far what I expected the comfort and quality of the material are perfect. The controls on each being Symmetrical makes things very nice only having one side as a main wasn’t fun with other units I’ve used. The quality of the sound is what I’ve come to expect from Beats. I hope the battery life doesn’t fall off with age like other products I’ve used we will see.

The bass, the immersion, and at the price point of Apple AirPods, I don’t see another better deal and bang for your buck. I sometimes don’t even notice they are in my ear while I’m walking, with music off that is. And I don’t think I need to tell you that these are not going to fall out of your ear no matter what. The case is a tad bit on the bigger side but you’re walking around with an extra 24 hours of juice for your beats on top of the 9 hours each earpiece.
TLDR: I enjoy these and will never look back to AirPods or Samsung buds.

The quality is much better than the AirPods but not as good as most quality over the head – headphones .
I have both AirPods and beats solo three over the head headphones . Initially I was comparing them to the solo 3 sound quality and was disappointed . However , after realizing the purpose of the headphones , and understanding how difficult it would be to achieve the same sound quality in such a small set of earbuds would be extremely hard and much more expensive. They look better than the AirPods but are not as casual/convenient .
The beats are perfect for their purpose . Great sound for the size and portability , and great functionality for working out .
Side note:This isn’t for females with little ears tho. I let a friend who is about 5 feet with small ears try them and they were much too big.

I got these paired with a Samsung Galaxy s9plus. Sound quality is fantastic. I love the independent functionality of these, I am a bus mechanic and my normal days are 10 hours (hopefully). I only wear one at work for safety reasons. I start at 3:30 am and I have been able to get through my entire day listening to music and talking on the phone by the time I get in my car I still have 30% or better depending on how loud I had them I normally keep the volume i would say a little over 25% in volume for me to hear the music or calls. When talking on them the call sound quality is awesome.

I received these about a week ago after pre-ordering them on May 3rd. Before this I owned a pair of the Bose Soundsport Free. I like listening to music and watching videos with these headphones. My Bose headphones had a noticeable lag when watching youtube videos. These headphones did not suffer the same fate. I also like how sturdy they feel on the ear and I believe the sound quality is the same or maybe slightly better than the Bose. I have an iphone so the Hey Siri function is nice too. The only thing that I may have liked better on my last Bose headphones was the way that the crescent shaped buds felt a bit less intrusive in my ears. Other than that these are a win!

I originally purchased the AirPods Pro but they kept falling out regardless of what combination of size adapters I put. So I changed to these since I primarily use headphones for the gym. These are so far the best wireless headphones, they don’t fall out when I do any workout, even cardio. They charge in the case and the case charges with an iPhone charger and the case holds a long charge. They pair the same as any AirPods and show up the same way. Worth the purchase.

I own the first gen AirPods and after using them for a while they were great but because it’s one size my ear would normally ache after a while i would have to constantly adjust. Now the Powerbeats fit sooo much better an since they have different sizes they are actually comfortable. Now the sound holy cow is night an day. The lows, mids, and highs are far better then that of the AirPods as well! I highly recommend these if your struggling over comfort and performance
Now i will say a con is the size of the case which if you look from the pictures its massive compared to the AirPods

I personally think they are the best earbuds on the market. Only $169, so $207 with protection (2 years) and tax. They sound like 10 inch dual subwoofers in your ears. They also have the ear holders to keep them from falling off while you work out, haven’t lost them yet. I absolutely hate Apple but I will buy this over and over again any day of the week.

I got these after researching which Bluetooth earphones to buy for running. Initially I was looking at AirPods, but I didn’t like that they weren’t sweat resistant and I was a little paranoid about them coming out of my ear, especially if I got sweaty working out. These ones had good reviews on running sites and I liked that they hook over the ear for some added security. I’ve had them almost 3 weeks now and have used them on runs varying 2-5 miles as well as weightlifting workouts. They have been perfect. The sound quality is great and when I’m running, I still feel like I can adequately hear sounds around me (i.e. cars driving by). They don’t slip and they sit comfortably in place the whole workout or run. I like the hard case they come with that also doubles as a charging case. So far, in 3 weeks, I’ve charged the case once (the day I got them) and the case still has a 15% charge after recharging the earphones to 100% after every workout/run. Pairing was also extremely easy and basically automatic with the iPhone XS and Apple Watch series 3. I also really like that you can get AppleCare with these for added security if there ends up being any issues with them. Highly recommend these earphones.

I like the beats earphones. The wireless is a bonus and I went with this design specifically because I’m very active and these do not move or fall out.
I really happy and would buy again.
(Yes I made a “function” cheat sheet because I couldn’t remember. You can laugh, my kids did too…LOL)
Moore –
Definitely worth the buy, battery last forever it’s not going to be an issue. They fit snug and won’t fall off. They also look amazing with a skin over them from SkinIt.

I honestly feel they should have supreme sound quality above anything else at this price point. That being said they do sound better than many other buds I have owned over the years.
The battery life is simply unrivaled when compared to all other high-end “true wireless” earbuds. I get a solid 8 hours continuous play at full blast. I haven’t seen any other quality buds get much more than 3-5 hours.
Be sure to invest some time in perfecting your fit. My ears were very sore the first few times I wore them. I tried every different size of silicone fittings with no luck and was on the verge of returning them. I really didn’t want to so I decided to mess with the hooks and positioning of them in different ways. After some creative testing I found the right position. The over-ear hooks have pliable wire under the rubber covering so can be fully adjusted. If you lack patience you may not find it worth the extra effort finding the right fit. It was worth the investment for me.
Placing back into the charging case can be tricky, so I suggest taking a visual note before removing them for the first time.
The case itself is rather large. If you’re adamant about having a case that you can pocket and forget these buds may not be right for you.
All in all I’m happy with my purchase, yet I must reiterate, sound quality should be nothing less than awe inducing for what you pay. After all isn’t that what the main use is for?

I actually liked this product, but gave it 4 stars because I had ear fatigue after 3-4 hrs. I had a difficult time at first trying to figure out how to put it on properly, but once I figured it out it sounds great! The built in volume buttons are great especially when working out. The red color isn’t really red. More like a dark orange. Not comfortable wearing in bed. Great when running! Returned it after about a week because of ear fatigue/pain.

I used my AirPods when I wanted to be left alone at work. The only problem is that they could and would fall out of my ears to be lost with too much movement. Dre Beats comfortably hook around your ears to prevent loss and they are quite comfortable!
Walker –
These buds are must have! I’ve rocked AirPods since the release and still love em but Powerbeats are much more dominating. Work just like AirPods with added benefit of volume rocker on each bud. Use comply ear tips for better comfort and noise cancellation. Unlike AirPods get gummed up with earwax and tend to fall out. Your not gonna have that problem. AirPods have to be constantly cleaned and it’s pretty disgusting to probably clean them right. Power beats have that sweat guard and screen with comply tips prevent sound loss. Only con is charging case size but battery life is so good that you don’t need to carry case every where you go.

bought these 2/7/2021 I used them they worked very well until 2/28/2021 they have a issue the left beat will not charge I will have to go to the apple store to get it repaired I did pay for apple plus but it being less than a year I can understand items being defective but I don’t understand why it would not charge I would give a 5/5 but the fact I paid for a product and it having a issue prior to a month of having them is not fun I really enjoy them but only using one is not as fun over all sound quality is 1000000/10 I would hands down say the sound is better than AirPods they don’t fall out of the ear but the are good quality!!!! I would recommend don’t get the with out apple care plus I would recommend it for sure not everyone will have the same experience I did but would be a 5 out o5 if I didn’t have the issue with left bud not charging in the case it may be the case or the ear bud it self I’m not to clear I wish the location I bought them from was more helpful in the process with product that was sold to me but after speaking to apple and apple recommended to either go to place of purchase or

I love my beats! I have the AirPods but I love my beats better! I love the way it hugs my ear and I don’t have to worry about them falling out and losing them. I’ve lost one of my AirPods and I’m not too happy about that. I can’t seem to go anywhere without my beats! I even forget that I’m wearing them at times. They are so comfortable.

Was very skeptical about purchasing beats and had been out looking and reviewing many different other brands. The price was somewhat expensive but I waited till it went on sale. After the purchase and just using this product on a day to day basis. My final overview of the beats is I truly like using them. They are clear when listening to music and very good to use when recieving calls. Call quality is clear no complaints about the product…If you enjoy quality over quantity then the Powerbeats pro is the way to go!!!

Been a fan of loud music since back in the days…. specially loud in my truck w/ 4 – 10’ woofers and 2 amps- I bought a Beats Pill XL and loved the sound a few years back, then been a fan of Beats. Didn’t buy a Beats Solo headset all these years wasn’t interested yet but these Powerbeats Pro seem universal to use to work out and been sweat proof and hooks around your ear so don’t come off like the New AirPods. Watched a lot of YouTube and was convinced I wanted the Powerbeats Pro. Some songs might sound louder and bass sounds good, but think everyone’s ears might be more sensitive then others due to my ears been listening to very loud music and shooting my firearms throughout the years damaging my ears!! But love these Powerbeats Pro for workouts or cleaning the yard in the mood listening to great sound!!

I used and loved older versions and wasn’t sure how I’d feel using this new completely wireless version. After using these for months now (this pair bought was the second pair so we didn’t have to share them while doing yard work) I found they stay put in my ears without issues, have much easier to controls, and they now charge with the same cord as our other Apple devices. We love being able to hear the same music using the pairing feature while we are on walks or traveling by plane. Excellent upgrade!

I’ve been using Dre beats for years & have always loved the sound quality ( via bass ) but now that apple owns them everything about Dre beats has changed so they’re like having air pods or any other headphones from apple just loud with no real feel when listening to music so I’ve kinda went back to using my Bose wireless headphones, now talking & working out wise they are great so yes I would recommend them I just hope if they make more totally wireless they listen to the customers and bring back the bass

The sound is definitely better than the AirPods 1 & 2 and is richer and clearer. I also like the water resistance and the 9 hr battery life which is perfect for rigorous uses. The only main concern for the Powerbeats Pro is comfortability as it can cause fatigue after wearing it for at least an hour. For casual users, they may want to check the AirPods Pro as it has mostly the same great sound quality and features in addition to the Active Noise Cancelling (although battery life is only rated for 4.5 hrs with ANC on and 5 hrs with ANC off). Overall, it just depends on user preference (fit, usage, comfortability).
