PowerBeats 2 for the win! I love mine. 😎

Had the beats fit prosand really enjoyed them. Got the power beats 2 and I like them more. As they don’t fall out when I’m randomly moving about Or if I take off my shirt. Also it probably won’t work well but like how i can probably take these snowboarding and listen to music with out fear of it falling out like beats fit pro. I don’t care too much about sound quality bc everything sounds muddy compared to my work headphones. And imo th beats fit pro sound similar to the powebeats 2. It just really depends on your use case and I prefer the security for gym, running and possibly other sports

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.

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

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.

Used beats powerbeats pro as my gym earbuds for 6 years without any issues outside the battery dying for what it's worth. Bought the powerbeats 2 very recently to replace them, too early to say how long they'll last but I'm confident, Apple makes quality products (yeah yeah, apple bad, beats bad, and whatever idiocy people are ranting)

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.
