Beats (Apple) - Powerbeats (2019)

I used to think like that too, totally with the idea of the small case small form factor for everyday use but the powerbears hit different, the first couple of days when i got the first powerbeats it wasn't fun to fiddle with the hook but then it became a second nature i don't even think about it and i got it for the gym nothing more because the buds that i had back then were falling out of my ears everytime. The second i got used to it i started using it daily not giving a shit about the case size cause they eere that good and loud, then i got the fit pro it was the same thing fiddle with the hook get used to it but now the ANC is an extra plus on top of all the good things about the powerbeats just the noise level is a bit quieter. Now the powerbeats 2is a different story i love it, it's almost the same thing as the powerbeats one but has ANC I don't really care about the heart rate monitor i have my watch to do that. I. Short the powerbeats 2 is in my opinion the best out of all of them eventho i hate the look of it but who cares once you put them on. You have to try it for couple of days to get used to it.

Same with my wife so she tried the powerbeats(?) that have the loop around the ear. The case is big and it doesn't have as good of audio but it stays in her ear no matter what. And sweat proof.

Get a pair of power beats for working out. I always struggled with headphones in the gym. You don’t even have to buy the latest version as long as they’re wireless. Trust me, just use your xm5s for everything else.

When I’m running, I love to use my power beats. They stay in my ear, and they are very comfortable.

Love my powerbeats for running. Best purchase I've made! They never budge.

Nice to see the beats fanboys down voting you. I'm literally here looking to replace my powerbeats because of the same issue you had. They are the most aggravating ear buds I have ever owned.

I disagree. They fit in the sense they didn’t fall out but they were a bit too big and I couldn’t wear more than an hour unlike my Powerbeats. Their fatal flaw was the wingtip cracking on just about every pair. And since it was integral. There was no fix for it

I wonder if they’ve solved the wing tip cracking issue

I’ve had the same issue for years, even the beats powerbeats that go over your ears wouldn’t stay in. I’ve been using Beats Fit Pro for a few years now and they have been the only headphone, out of dozens, to stay in perfectly.

I agree with the buds fit. I am a long distance runner and had a horrible time with these. I prefer snagging some beats pro vs beats powerbeats if you need something reliable and you are moving constantly and quickly. The wingtip or wrap around the ear for stability is a game changer for running with decent quality sound.

For your use, Powerbeats for sure. They’re great for track days and tempo workouts where you’ll need to lock in. I’d suggest getting some shockz open ear for your long runs. They’re less tiring on the ears and the awareness is unbeatable
