Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earphones - Apple H1 Headphone Chip, Class 1 Bluetooth, 9 Hours Of Listening Time, Sweat Resistant Earbuds, Built-in Microphone - Black (previous version)

I bought these earphones impulsively right before school because the pair of Bluetooth earphones I had broke on the bus. I knew Beats were a reputable brand and I had seen the Powerbeats Pro in tech reviews on YouTube so I decided to take a punt on them. I chose the Powerbeats over the likes of Airpods and Airpod Pros was due to the ear hook and secure fit. I am a runner therefore the hooks give added confidence to them staying on. When I first got them, the inclusion of the Apple H1 Chip makes the earphones incredible if you have an iPhone. They connected seamlessly and it shows the device on your iPhone which is a small feature however it's the small details for me. The fit was super snug and compact. A little heads up I would give before buying is that when putting them on for the first time, they might be a little painful for you. Your ear canal may be in a little bit of pain however this pain goes away after a week or so when your ear and earphones get used to each other. Wearing them properly also helps ease the pain (I know that sounds stupid however it is really easy to not slide them in correctly the first few times). I have had mine for a little over 4 months now and when I put them on, they are so comfortable sometimes I forget I have them on. As for the sound quality, I am not a sound genius that goes proper in-depth about the highs and lows, the frequency, etc. however I can keep it simple and say they are one of the best out there. I have tried many earphones from Apple's Airpods to JLab to Bose, and I can confidently say the Beats were my favourite. Sound is down to preference and opinions however the Beats had the crispest sound. They could handle all of my banging playlists without any issue. I like to listen to music very loud and my older self will hate me for it however I can say that the sound doesn't distort or muffle. They don't say they have active noise cancellation however the fit does a great job at blocking out around 90% of the sound (if listening above 50% volume). The case is fairly big but does its job. Fits into jacket pockets or bags easily however if you're a person that lives in skinny jeans... have fun trying to put them in your front pockets. In conclusion to my essay, if you're thinking of getting these, go for it. Why not? They are one of the best options out there. If you love your exercise, no brainer with these. Good build, solid sound, fantastic product.

So, I’ve been using these daily for about 2 months now and think I can write a fair review. All in all I rate these very highly especially paired with my iPhone 11 as the apple chip makes using these so much better. The pairing process is seamless and I really like the automatic connection and disconnection! So so easy to just throw these on your ears and start listening without the need to press any buttons. The earphones fit extremely well on my ears and are comfortable to wear for long periods of time. I’m also confident in their ability to stay put and not fall out no matter what I’m doing. One downfall would be that they’re not comfortable wearing lying down on your sides at all. But this makes sense since they’re designed as sports earphones so take that as you will. I also really like the design and how it looks on. In my opinion it looks a lot better than most earphones and AirPods. The navy blue colour is a really wonderful colour irl. The sound quality is pretty good. Defiantly on the higher tier as expected with beats. The bass is strong and volume gets high enough. Do not expect insane sound though, because it will not provide if you are an audiophile. For the regular joes, it will sound very good. The charging case is fine. Seems to be study and charges up very quick, as does the earphones itself. The battery lasts a long time on a full charge as well. At least a week for me before I have to charge which I was impressed with. Some downsides to consider: 1) The case is extremely large and bulky. I am unable to have it in my trouser pocket because of how bulky it is. 2) It’s a shame there is no active noise cancelling 3) Imo, it is definitely overpriced - but I suppose you are paying to wear the brand as well.

I bought these for my daughter as a birthday gift, and after more than a year of regular use, they’re still working perfectly. They arrived well-packaged and felt like a premium product right from the start. Pros: Excellent sound quality with strong bass Secure, comfortable fit — great for workouts or everyday use Still holding charge well after a year Sweat-resistant and durable — built to last Great value considering the performance and lifespan Cons: No issues at all so far — very reliable You really can’t go wrong with these. If you’re looking for long-lasting, high-quality wireless earphones, this pair is definitely worth the price.

As a set of headphones these are good. Sound quality is very good. They are comfortable enough & I can't really find a fault with them in that regard. I prefer earbuds that have loops that go round the ears & these are the best of that range. However do yourself a favour & buy a cheaper set with an actual on/off switch. Without any doubt these are one of the most frustrating devices I have ever had the displeasure of using. You can not turn these off without putting them in the case. A mind-numbingly stupid & bizarre decision. And they don't switch off after a period without use. They sit idle & the battery life drains away. So they have to go in the case which isn't all that compact. An awkward enough situation. Doubly awkward when the case & headphone connection is about as stable as the old internet dial up. I've spent what seems like a good hour at times frustratingly opening & closing the case and removing & reinserting earbuds all the while watching one (or sometimes both) earbuds remain connected to my phone through the Beats app. Meaning they are not off, not charging & losing battery life. What should be a 5 second exercise ends up pushing me to brink of breakdown. It's ridiculous. Now this could be a problem with a faulty case or some other nonsense but these earbuds aren't cheap. For the price you pay for a product with the financial backing of Apple & Beats it really is not acceptable. And it all could be avoided by simply being able to press that button on the side of the earbuds to turn them off. A feature of every other set of earbuds I've ever owned. Some people are just to smart for their own good. But perhaps I own some of the blame for not sticking to my rule of never buying anything Apple related. This will be the first and last time.

I really wanted some wireless earbuds for a) Exercise (running) b) Being on conference calls Whilst they may get some use for listening to music, that's not my primary goal and as such I'm not overly concerned with the "tightness of the bass" or "brightness of the treble". In any event, they seem better than the other earbuds I own - mainly various varieties of iPhone items of various generations. Turns out, my ears are problematic. The best running solution that I had was gen1 iPhone headphones, with a foam cover on one of them. And still it's far from perfect. Airpods wouldn't work (the current gen wired iPhone pods fall out too easily). And, in general, I don't seem to get on terribly well with in-ear canal units. I tried Jabra's 'active' earbuds - review elsewhere. Whilst I think they're great, they're not for me - they just fall out when I walk, no matter which size tip I use. This is largely because if the tip works it's way out of your ear, it's game over. They also weren't so comfortable - the eartip is forced to be both strong enough to 'hold', yet weak enough to be 'comfortable'. No such problem with the powerbeats. In all the activities I've tried (running, rowing, indoor cycling) I have never been in fear of losing them. That's because the over-ear stay helps and it isn't relying on your ear 'gripping' the tip as the sole mechanism. However - they don't "perfectly seal", and do work their way out a bit. This doesn't worry me - there's different size tips that I could use in the pack, and probably 3rd party foam tips if I really cared which (unlike the Jabras) could probably remain on the pods whilst charging. The plus side of that is that they're comfortable. The day I got them I was on a conference call for 4+ hours, and they were comfortable to the end. Other plus points: The iOS pairing is ridiculously easy. You can show the battery status on your iPhone home screen, and the bluetooth menu on Mac OS also shows the power level. The range seems really good - and even if it starts breaking up, it recovers once you get closer to the source again. Battery life is very good. Even the case - which I had expected to be gigantor, is actually no bigger than palm-sized. Nice audio 'bur-bing' when it successfully pairs. ++ I can use them for sports without fear of loss! + Good for conference calls + Good battery life and performance; better quality than many earbuds 0 Seal eventually breaks for my ears (but YMMV and 4 sets of tips to try) - Spendy

nice quality but the case is quite big and heavy

Did a ridiculous amount of research before purchasing and they are certainly not cheap, but I was so tired of fiddling and adjusting and securing EarPods when working out, with a constant fear of one or both falling out and getting crushed or lost forever, these seemed the only logical choice. Absolutely no chance they are falling out of your ears. None! They hold their charge superbly and popping them back into their case at the end of a session boosts them right back up and quickly too. Been too lazy to swap back to EarPods for regular calls sometimes and these handle them seamlessly too. Different tips so you can adjust the fit to your ears and absolutely no issue linking to or swapping between iOS and PC devices either. Totally worth the money, great on long runs and no more anxiety about losing them. Important point - these aren’t noise cancelling, but I like to be aware of outside sounds, especially when outside alone or crossing the road - not helpful for those stealth Prius’s that just appear from nowhere - silently, but gives me a sense of still being present whilst being in my own world. Slight issue with the case not fulling charging both earpieces, but easily resolved by Amazon and no issues since.

There are so many earphones out there, it’s really overwhelming to choose. I’ve had lesser known brands which have proved okay, but their long term durability lacks, so when my Cambridge audio Melenias gave up, I took a plunge on these. Being an iOS user, these ‘just work’ so effortlessly with your iPhone or even your Mac. Everything about these earphones scream quality. The plastic used feels very high end, the hinge for the case closes and opens beautifully, the ear tips are soft and pliable and all the accessories feel expensive. The sound quality surprised me. They are incredibly well balanced. The detail is really good, on a par with wired headphones. Not sure if this is the do with the H1 chip which may have an extra layer of audio streaming on top of Bluetooth 5? Either way they are brilliant. I can wear these for hours without any discomfort and for those of us who gym or run, these are amazing. You don’t want noise cancellation isn’t hear environments, especially outside running as it is often dangerous. Having said that, these go up to a decent volume of you do want to block the outside off more. The seal on these are very good. Probably not as tight as some others I’ve had, but I don’t find myself having to take them out because of a build up of pressure so I’m guessing this was by design. Volume rockers on both earphones are really handy for when you’re out of breath at the gym and can’t remember if it’s the left or right bud which has the button like on other earphones. Voice call audio is really nice as well on both ends. Only downside of the charging case isn’t very portable, but they do a good job of protecting these, and it doesn’t scratch anywhere near as easily as some other brands.

Sin lugar a dudas, son mis auriculares favoritos. Después de varios años de uso intensivo, quiero compartir tanto sus puntos fuertes como algunos detalles a tener en cuenta para que tengas una idea clara antes de comprarlos. ⸻ Pros: • Calidad de sonido excelente, especialmente en Apple Music. • Ultra cómodos: ideales si los AirPods o auriculares grandes te molestan. • Sujeción perfecta gracias al gancho: no se caen hagas lo que hagas. • Integración impecable en el ecosistema Apple con cambio rápido entre dispositivos. • Localizables mediante la app Buscar. • Carga sorprendentemente muy muy rápida. • Micrófono de buena calidad para llamadas y videollamadas. • Activación por voz de Siri con “Oye Siri” o pulsando el botón central unos segundos. • Botones físicos de volumen y botón central con funciones personalizables (varios toques para distintas acciones). • Aviso de notificaciones configurable. • Resistentes al sudor y al agua. • Incluyen diferentes tamaños de almohadillas para un ajuste perfecto. ⸻ 💡 Consejo práctico El estuche de carga tiene espacio suficiente para colocar un AirTag en el centro con un poco de celo. Así, aunque los auriculares estén apagados dentro de la caja y no puedan localizarse por la app Buscar, siempre podrás encontrarlos gracias al AirTag. ⸻ • Experiencia real tras 3 años de uso: Estos son pequeños fallos que me han ocurrido en contadas ocasiones y que tienen fácil solución: 1. Un auricular no se conecta al sacarlos: muy raro que ocurra. Basta con meterlos de nuevo en el estuche, cerrar, esperar unos segundos y volver a sacarlos. 2. Un auricular no ha estado cargando: comprueba en el widget de batería del iPhone que ambos estén cargando. También puedes asegurarte presionando suavemente al colocarlos para que encajen en los pines. La luz de la caja también te indicará rápidamente si se ha puesto a cargar bien cada auricular al ponerlos. Mantén limpios tanto los pines del estuche como los contactos de los auriculares de tanto en tanto. 3. Breve corte de sonido (unos segundos): me pasó en raras ocasiones hace años, probablemente por actualizaciones de iOS o del firmware. No ha vuelto a ocurrir desde hace más de 2 años. Si te pasa, reinicia el iPhone y suele solucionarse. 4. Pitido extraño al mover un auricular: me ha pasado también en poquísimas ocasiones. Si alguna vez un auricular no se activa y emite un sonido raro, guárdalo en el estuche un minuto y vuelve a ponértelo. Si persiste, déjalo cargando un rato y se soluciona. En todos los casos han sido incidencias muy poco frecuentes y nunca me han supuesto un problema real. ⸻ Comparativa con PowerBeats Pro 2: He probado también los PowerBeats Pro 2 y sin duda son una evolución correcta del producto con varias mejoras, pero debo destacar mi problemática y por qué tuve que devolverlos nada más probarlos unos días. Por la forma de mi oreja, me resultaron realmente incómodos, igual que los AirPods / AirPods Pro y otros auriculares de cuerpo grande (normalmente los que tienen cancelación de ruido). Con los PowerBeats Pro 1 no tengo ese problema en absoluto, así que lo destaco por si la comodidad es importante para ti y tienes problemas similares al mío. ⸻ Conclusión: Para mí, son los mejores auriculares Bluetooth que he tenido. Comodidad sobresaliente, sonido espectacular y una experiencia Apple impecable. Perfectos para el día a día, para hacer deporte o para usarlos durante horas sin molestias. Los recomiendo al 100% 😊👍

Being an Audiophile I've tried a lot of wired and wireless earbuds. This is the best one I've come across. Though expensive, it's the best truly wireless earbuds out there in the market. I bought this only to wear while working out but found myself wearing it in casual home and office setting as well. The sound quality is good, it's a little bit heavy on the Bass, as you can expect from a pair of Beats. It's having controls on both the earbuds so you can use either of them to change track, lower the volume, take calls. Battery backup is simply mind-blowing. It puts all other truly wireless buds to shame in that aspect. Connection is very reliable and strong. Pairing process is easy. Only drawbacks are : No USB C (It still charges through lightning), The Case is pretty big and hefty. All in all, if you afford, definately go with this and you'll love it.
