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
This. I love my beats. I had the 2’s for forever and lost hope they’d make the 3’s. I saw the rumors / leaks and once the professionally athletes started wearing them I was so relieved! I was so close to buying something else…I’m happy I waited.
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.
I’ve been using JBL Endurance Race 2s for a bit and if you’re open to in ear they do have an audio pass through ‘aware’ mode - very good for the price, when compared to the equivalent Bose.
I prefer Bose in ears for sound quality and noise cancellation, but each generation has problems. The Bose QC 2 Ultras would be my #1 best ever (if money was no object if the touch controls didn’t react to water. I’m a sweaty man and after 3-4 miles the noise cancellation controls start rotating.
Shokz really are the way for true awareness. I just don’t think music sounds good through them… so I do prefer in-ear.
Beats Sport lines are better than AirPod for similar tech (both owned by apple). I’d say my Beats lasted through my sweat the best of any headphones I’ve had over the years.

Apple-integrated, great ANC, but fit issues & poor Windows support.
