Beats (Apple) - Powerbeats Pro 2

Same here. Transparency mode for when I could be near traffic, livestock, dogs etc. Noise cancelling for the rest of the time

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.

I have the bose ultra open earbuds and love them for the design, ease of use and sound quality. I had previously used beats powerbeats pro, samsung earbuds fe and airpods pro and realized running isolated with noise cancelling has a lot of risks but there is nothing better than the bose in the market that lets you be sound aware as well as enjoy the music. Got good deal during BF so that helped

I would definitely go with the Powerbeats Pro 2 https://amzn.to/3HUwPxp

Based on what you said about integration, sound quality, and qol. I definitely think they are better than airpods.

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.

They are terrible for $29.95 TJ Maxx grab and go so the $250 they cost hurts. Coming from Galaxy Buds Pro 2 these are ridiculously bad sounding. Tinny and flat. MKBHD was lavishing the praise for these so I thought I'd give them a try. Super disappointed. What is another over the ear option that someone could recommend.
