Beats Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earbuds - Apple H1 Headphone Chip, Class 1 Bluetooth Headphones, 9 Hours of Listening Time, Sweat Resistant, Built-in Microphone - Black

I have had my Powerbeats Pro for about a week now and after a bit of a rocky start and an adjustment period, I find them to be almost perfect headphones. When I first put them on, I was wildly disappointed. They were uncomfortable and sounded tinny with no bass at all. I genuinely believed I would be returning them and getting second gen Air Pods instead. But, given how excited I was for the Powerebeats Pro to come out and the cost, I decided to put in a little effort and give them a chance. It wasn't until about 3 or 4 days in that I decided to keep them. So, if you are like me and think your new Powerbeats Pro sound like garbage when you first put them on and you wonder if all the positive reviewers are high, experiment with all the tips before dismissing the headphones as crap. In-ear buds need a good seal to sound good. I have freakishly small ears so I always start with the smallest tip available when trying out new headphones which usually works for me. Not this time. It sounded awful and I was briefly outraged that I had paid $250 for garbage. It was counter-intuitive, but I finally tried the biggest tips instead which gave me a good seal and let me wear the headphones without having to go as deep into my ears which made them more comfortable too. Once I found the right fit with a good seal, I discovered that yes, in fact, these things do actually have some nice ear-thumping bass. I think the bass is better than original Air Pods but also not overwhelming as Beats products have a reputation for being. It's satisfyingly skull shaking without being distorted and is balanced out nicely by clear highs. I'm not an audiophile by any means, but I won't listen to any old crap either. I like a little bass and good clarity and the Powerbeats Pro deliver. My biggest issue with these is comfort. As I mentioned, I have freakishly small ears and while I have been using Air Pods for a couple years, I was doing so with discomfort. I put up with a little paind because of the convenience of function. I love the automatic connection, the ability to use one bud at a time and charging on the go in the case. So, when I first read about the Powerbeats Pro, I was expecting something that would have the convenience of Air Pods with better comfort and something that wouldn't fall out of my ears all the time. Generally, I do okay with headphones that have different sizes of silicone tips so I was expecting the Powerbeats Pro to be a comfort upgrade. Initially, they actually hurt my ears more than Air Pods, especially my right ear. I fully blame this on my freakishly small ears. I'm one of those people who often finds "one size fits all" to be laughably ridiculous. Again, I was determined to love these things so I tinkered a bit to find an acceptable level of discomfort. The largest tip allows me to get a good seal without having to put them in so deep, relieving some pressure and cutting down on pain. When I first tried them, I could only last about 20 minutes before the pain forced me to take them out. After adjusting to find a good angle and replacing the silicone tips with Comply Sport tips, I'm a lot more comfortable and can last 2 or 3 hours before I feel discomfort. Even then, I would call it discomfort and not outright pain. It's discomfort I can live with and not any worse than what I experience with Air Pods. Also, my discomfort is only in my right ear instead of both like I get with Air Pods. Since I go with one bud a lot of the time, I'll just use the left one. No biggie. I can't blame the manufacturer for my tiny ears which is why I'm not taking away a star. On the plus side, the fit is very secure. I have worked out in them several times and they don't budge. I never could work out in Air Pods because they fell out all the time. I can also wear these while laying down which I couldn't do in Air Pods without them falling out periodically. Also, the connection is great. Original Air Pods used to randomly lose connection or not connect when they were supposed to. The chip upgrade in the Powerbeats Pro seems to have resolved this little annoyance. They connect faster and after a week, I haven't experienced a drop or glitch once. The Powerbeats Pro do come with a tradeoff when it comes to the size of the case. If you are used to carrying around Air Pods in your pocket in their tiny case, forget about it with Powerbeats Pro. The case is significantly larger. It goes in a bag or purse without taking up a ton of room but it's too big to fit comfortably in a pocket. The extra battery life for Powerbeats is nice though. I frequently use one bud at a time and used to drain an Air Pod and have to switch ears regularly. I'm using the Powerbeats Pro the same way and haven't drained a bud yet. I'm okay with the bigger case since the better battery life makes me feel secure about leaving the case at home when I need to go bagless. So in summary, these are the best sounding buds I have used. They are super convenient, easy to connect and won't fall out of your ears. If you have normal human sized ears, they will probably be comfortable and the battery life is great. You have to deal with a bigger case but the positive improvements over Air Pods make the size trade-off worth it. If you don't hear the bass, try different tips and twist them around a bit before you give up. Hopefully you won't have to work as hard at it as I did to find your happy place with Powerbeats Pro but the effort has been worth it. These are really great headphones and worth the price.

These are probably the best Bluetooth earbuds I have ever bought. There is one bug, but it is very easy to fix and it rarely happens. Occasionally (I am saying like once every 3 months), the earbuds will disconnect from my device and stop playing sound. The easy fix is to turn off Bluetooth and turn it back on. I have read reviews of similar occurrences and people are thinking it is Bluetooth interference. I do not think that is what it is. Just happens randomly. I use them every day and sometimes I lose connection with no other Bluetooth devices around. But other than one small bug, these earbuds rock! I will use one earbud at a time and rotate them when one earbud is low. Each earbud lasts about 9 hours and the base charges an additional 24 hours, which means I make my earbuds last about 42 hours. Bluetooth range is excellent. Sound quality is excellent. Does get loud but it does not completely cancel out sound (like a vacuum running). Earbuds are very relaxing on the ears and I wear them all day. Works with my 2 computers, Windows and Chromebook. Works with my Samsung S8 and my Samsung tablet. I do have an old iPod touch (gen 2) and it did not support it. But these are made for apple so you will get the most of it using an iPhone. Did some research and with the iPhone, you can use Siri by holding down the button on the earbud and you can get a battery status of the powerbeats on the phone. Android, Windows, and Chromebook do not support these features. Unless there was an update recently and they fixed it. I tested all of this out months ago when I first got my powerbeats. What I love the most about these powerbeats is the security of the earbuds. To sync to new devices, the user must hold down the sync button, then connect. Once connected, the user can connect to the earbuds when they are not connected to another device. Let me give you an example. I have these connected to my laptop, phone, tablet, etc. I can take one earbud with me and put in my pocket. The charging base is at home and I am out doing errands. I can turn on my Bluetooth on my phone, find the powerbeats under Paired Devices, and it connects. I then can disconnect from my phone and connect to my tablet. Once they are connected, they remain connected. It will never switch devices. The earbuds are never in discoverable mode unless you sync them. So, someone else that has Bluetooth on and is searching for a device will not even see it, even though it is not connected to anything. With most Bluetooth devices, if it is on and disconnected, people can see the device. The last thing I will talk about is the sensor in the earbud. So far it works with all my devices. If I take out my earbud, the music or movie that is playing will stop and once I put the earbud back on, it resumes on its own. I guess one thing I do not like is that there is no battery indicator on the charging base. I will use them every day and forget to check the battery life on the charging base. Usually every 2 or 3 days I will charge the base to make sure it is always charged. Whenever the Powerbeats Pro 2 come out, hopefully they add this feature. Like 4 lights on the bottom, indicating 25, 50, 75, and 100%. The 25 should blink when almost dead. But other than that, I love my powerbeats pro!

First let me start by saying I’m not an expert nor an audiophile. I was on the hunt for true wireless earbuds that I could use at work. They had to have good quality sound, excellent battery life, the ability to use one at a time, and be comfortable to wear hours at a time. Excluding budget earphones there are not many options available at what I’d call a premium level. So here is what helped me choose this particular set. Both the right and left ear bud have identical controls allowing you to use one alone or both together. Each earbud can control volume, play /pause, next track and previous track. They have an estimated 9h batter life and easily recharge within their case. Setup is super easy and I’m currently using them with an Android phone. Sound quality is good but please keep in mind sound is subjective. What I like you might not like. Volume levels seem high enough for me. Any louder and honestly you are asking for hearing problems in the future. They are very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. You have a better chance of your head falling off before these would fall out of your ears. So if you are looking for ear buds to use while working out these would be perfect. If you are a four eyed freak like me Yes you can use your glasses with these. I don’t find it difficult to wear at all. I haven’t had any issues with Bluetooth connections. These have the Apple H1 chip so you will have the same connection experience you would have with AirPods. I’ve connected these with my iPhone 7+, iPad, Huawei P30 Pro, and Nvidia Shield. You will only be able to connect these to one device at a time. I’m very pleased with these and other than the higher price tag compared to similar options I think they are among the best available at the moment. They might not be for you and they might not be for others. That in no way makes them junk or not worth buying.

The earphones are not charging after 3 months of use. The case charges fine but the right side earphones are losing charge/ not charging when placed in the case... very disappointing.

I bought these because I had ear buds that kept falling out. I have had not any issues with these at all falling out of my ear. I’ve seen reviews where people have written they give their ears a hard time. The easy fix is rotate them backwards so they’re not deep in your ear. I have had issues where music stops on Spotify while using Nike Run Club but the button on the ear piece starts the music playing again. I would recommend these for a runner. It’s not noise cancelling but I don’t want that while running. It lets enough ambient noise in without distracting from your run.

First Review (21-05-2021): 4-Stars There is nothing wrong with the product as a lot of reviews say, I am using it for a few days now, it is working well. There are a lot of videos showing the difference between the original and the fake ones, following a few of them, the product is original and nothing like the fake ones, the low price is probably due to the absence of warranty, so checking the serial number on Apple website confirms that it is an original, however, there are no warranty plans or even purchase date available. My recommendation is to go through with the product purchase, and purchase an additional AMAZON UAE warranty plan (extra 25-50 AED/year). So for that warranty issue I take of a star, giving the product and overall 4/5 rating. New Update (23-05-2021): 5-Stars I e-mailed Amazon.ae inquiring about the warranty, they confirmed that warranty is 1-year covered by Amazon directly -not by APPLE-, which can be claimed but needs the presence of both, original box and invoice, thus the Warranty issued is resolved, considering of course the reputation of Amazon.
