Beats (Apple) - Powerbeats2 Wireless Earbuds

I tend to lean on ones with loops that go over the ear because my ear holes are small, too. I struggle with buds because they tend to fall out. Last gen Powerbeats work pretty good although they’re noise isolating not noise cancelling, but I hear the current gen is noise cancelling. Epic Air Sport by JLab is pretty good and are noise cancelling I have QC ultras but don’t like the bud format. You may want to look at the new Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. I don’t own them and they’re not noise cancelling but they’re more like an ear cuff and obviate the conversation about ear opening size

None of them work! I bought 3 flex from ATT last month. All did not charge. I bought PB2 eBay. No charge and 2 PB brand new believe it or not. One worked one didn’t.

I actually purchased them brand new believe it or not off of eBay. They were new sealed in the box never opened the flex were brand new from ATT

I had them for almost five years. They went through the washer and dryer several times—never an issue. Sadly, now the left bud isn’t working as well anymore and is making a weird noise. I'm desperately searching for another pair I’ll love for running but haven’t found one yet. I tried the new Powerbeats 2 (they sucked) and am currently trying the Beats Fit Pro. I do like them, but after 50 minutes of running, my ears start to hurt due to the wingtip. The new Jabra Elite 8 didn’t work for me like the 75T did—they didn’t stay in place, and I feel like they created more of that vacuum feeling in my ear canals. So...PLEASE ...SUGGESTIONS? I'm looking at the Soundcore Sport X20, but it seems like they stop working after a few months from some reviews? I can't use open ear ones, since I need to block the noise from the gym when running on the treadmill. Treadmill runners - please help.

Powerbeats. Wireless with ear hooks so I don’t worry about losing them.

My Beats Fit Pros are starting to fall apart at the wing tips. I love them but if they're not slated for an upgrade next year then I'm jumping on the Power Beats 2 that are due to release.

Used these earbuds for years and in my experience all dislodges are because my hair got tangled in the hooks

look if your ear really fits usual headphones. my ear looks different I can't "hook" headphones in, so they will fall out. I tend to use shokz, power beats or simple JBL charge with thingies over the ear.  I tried clip style, but I thought they are uncomfortable.

Before reading your description, my first thought was the Powerbeats, which I think probably are the best fit for what you’re looking for. Otherwise, I’ve seen a lot of brands offer a “sport” earbud, like JBL, Bose, Soundcore. If you’re open to “open” earbuds, Nothing and Bose also have options, but you won’t be getting ANC with those.

Get something with a clip, like the Beats Powerbeats 2, or the Moondrop Pill.

Here is my two cents. I run a lot and tried various options over the pas two years. I need good sound and something that holds. I do not care about other functionalities. Did 3 years on beats fit pro, but my two pairs gave away more or less at the same time. I liked them but they hurt after couple of hours. I got the Powerbeats 2 but they sound rubbish, worst than the fits pro which are much older. Unacceptable for the price. I tried nothing open ears. Sound great, hold great, but loose too much of the sound for my taste. I tried shocks, I can understand why people love them, but sound quality is not good enough for me. I now run on Sony fit buds. These are half the price, offer the best sound and best hold I’ve seen so far. The transparency is good enough for sports if you care. ANC is good enough. They aren’t great for calls, but again I don’t call with them. Hope this helps.

I'm returning mine also. The sound is clean, and the mic is good yes. The noise cancelling isnt the best, and there isn't really any bass that I can feel, so it don't really live up to it's name Powerbeats. I'm just going to ditch earbuds because they make my ears sore after wearing them for a short while.

love my powerbeats 2. noise cancelling is really good, transparent is good, and great for working out without them falling off

I have Powerbeats 2 & 3, beat fit pro, Powerbeats pro (x2), AirPod Pro 1 & 2 and an old pair of beat solo 2 I’ve spent my fair share and this doesn’t count all the versions I have given as gifts. Just got the Powerbeats Pro2 yesterday (as a gift) and as I sit here typing this I’m also thinking how can I tell my gf that they suck and I want to return and just get another pair of AirPod Pro2. It’s funny Apple states same chip but yet PBP2 have less features than AirPod Pro2. Isn’t hearing loss still important? And I’m sorry but as weird as this sounds the AirPod pro2 sounds better. The shape is not great either. The first gen fit great shape wise. They seemed to lock into the shape of my ear and they stayed put. These don’t move around (yet) but they feel loose and for some reason when playing a song they keep stopping. I’ve triple checked and my phone screen is facing outward. A quick press of the button and song picks up where it stopped but three times while playing one song. Again phone in loose shorts side pocket screen outward. I looked forward to these because I liked the thought of the heart sensor built in but very disappointed.

Powerbeats or my AirPods

If it’s for the gym, I would look into the new PowerBeats that goes around and in the ear. They stay in better with physical activity.

You’re welcome man. I would have recommended the new Powerbeats but they took a step back in sound quality imo, a lot of people think fit pro sounds better and I agree, I’ve tested both back to back. The fit pro won’t let you down

I think this is very dependent on your ear shape and what fits you best. I use Powerbeats, I find that even if I knock them accidentally and they come loose, the hooks over the ears help keep them on long enough for me to fix them. If it's not too hot you can also put a headband over your ears to hold them in.

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

Surprised more people don’t use these. I have the non-pro Powerbeats which are wireless, but the two buds are connected by wire. They’ve never bothered me with glasses.

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.

I like anker soundcore sport. They wrap around and have a good battery life. Decent noise transparency.  A lot of folks love their aftershokz.  Hates the beats sport with passion.  I have to use ear buds that wrap around the ears. 

One of them would randomly not charge in the case and would reverse charge. They would also drop connection with my garmin at least once per run. 

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