Beats (Apple) - Powerbeats Pro 1

I’ve been using the Powerbeats for a long time and I like them a lot. They have a loop over the ear and they’re comfortable to wear.

Got them today. I had the PBP1 for about 3 years. I tried swapping them back & forth during the same songs & PBP1 sounds fuller, deeper. I used the xl tips to make sure it was a tight seal. The PBP2 sound tinnier, the midrange/treble sounding slightly lower quality, probably due to the new smaller driver size. I’m torn on returning them because I was really looking forward to these. But my old ones sound just fine/possibly better : /

After comparing them some more, there’s no question about it; the old ones just sound fuller/better. As much as I like the new design I’m gonna return them this weekend.

Power beats pro. Got them like 2 years ago or something. Not for audible but shortly after getting them I started using audible and they worked amazing. Great battery, pretty good range away from phone even though I rarely have them in use whole away from phone. I mean really great battery though. If I'm only using 1 earbud, usually at work, I wouldn't have to charge it (and the case) for multiple days at a time despite at least 4 hours of use a day. And amazing quality of sound. I mainly got them because I wanted some good wireless earbuds for music, YouTube, and anime without bothering other people, especially at lunch at work and back then I was working closing shift so I had more free time at work, but I wanted the hook around the ear too. The sound quality is so much better than I was expecting. In some audiobooks I can even hear when the narrator pauses their recording between chapters LOL Controls are pretty simple. 1 tap for pause/resume. 2 for skip foward 15 seconds. 3 to skip back 15. They were a bit expensive when I bought them, 200, but it was SO worth it. And the case is sturdy! Dropped it more than I'd like to admit but onyl a few minor scratches to the exterior.

Powerbeats pro. They hook on your ears so they dont fall out. And they have a transparency mode that allows sound to pass through, so you can always hear whats around you.

I've been using the PowerBeats3 for 6+ years. The little cord annoys me when it gets caught in my collar and pulls on one ear. I bought the PowerBeats Pro and they seem to have no depth or bass. Idk I've only used them for an hour or two and put my old ones back in which have thousands of hours of use. Some people have said they haven't broken in yet but I don't remember the 3's being "tinny" when they were new and this is my 2nd pair.

Agree. These are the only ones i've tried that have decent controls for volume, stop, fast fwd, rewind.

Just got my v2, updated it, tested the fit, and then did an extensive sound comparison test against Powerbeats Pro 1, AirPods Pro 1 & 2, Sony XM4, and DT990 Pro (Motu M2). The most disappointing comparison was against its own gen 1...as the OP said, the highs are tiny, harsh, and the mids are muddy/unclear overall at some point. I would rank the PBPv2 last on my list. I will promptly return it and continue to use the gen 1, despite its battery issues.

I like Beats Powerbeats Pro for that - wrap around ear thingies are rock solid and sound quality’s great. You don’t need an Apple phone to use them but they do have the h2 chip which makes them work pretty seamlessly with Apple.

Nope, those puppies are rated for like .. 7-9 hours depending on use/age. The new model says 14 hours continuous. They really are the best.

Seconding the power beats. Great battery life and also you can still hear your music if you turn them down low so you can hear runners coming up behind you on the trail, or just be aware of your general surroundings.

Anyone that says beats are “overpriced garbage” are the types of people that can’t afford them. Best headphones I’ve ever had, don’t let negative people put you off them. They are so much better than any version of AirPods. I’ve had my beats for 3 years and have had no issues with them.
