Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earbuds - Apple H1 Headphone Chip, Class 1 Bluetooth Headphones, 9 Hours of Listening Time, Sweat Resistant, Built-in Microphone - Navy

I have had my Powerbeats Pro for about a week now and after a bit of a rocky start and an adjustment period, I find them to be almost perfect headphones. When I first put them on, I was wildly disappointed. They were uncomfortable and sounded tinny with no bass at all. I genuinely believed I would be returning them and getting second gen Air Pods instead. But, given how excited I was for the Powerebeats Pro to come out and the cost, I decided to put in a little effort and give them a chance. It wasn't until about 3 or 4 days in that I decided to keep them. So, if you are like me and think your new Powerbeats Pro sound like garbage when you first put them on and you wonder if all the positive reviewers are high, experiment with all the tips before dismissing the headphones as crap. In-ear buds need a good seal to sound good. I have freakishly small ears so I always start with the smallest tip available when trying out new headphones which usually works for me. Not this time. It sounded awful and I was briefly outraged that I had paid $250 for garbage. It was counter-intuitive, but I finally tried the biggest tips instead which gave me a good seal and let me wear the headphones without having to go as deep into my ears which made them more comfortable too. Once I found the right fit with a good seal, I discovered that yes, in fact, these things do actually have some nice ear-thumping bass. I think the bass is better than original Air Pods but also not overwhelming as Beats products have a reputation for being. It's satisfyingly skull shaking without being distorted and is balanced out nicely by clear highs. I'm not an audiophile by any means, but I won't listen to any old crap either. I like a little bass and good clarity and the Powerbeats Pro deliver. My biggest issue with these is comfort. As I mentioned, I have freakishly small ears and while I have been using Air Pods for a couple years, I was doing so with discomfort. I put up with a little paind because of the convenience of function. I love the automatic connection, the ability to use one bud at a time and charging on the go in the case. So, when I first read about the Powerbeats Pro, I was expecting something that would have the convenience of Air Pods with better comfort and something that wouldn't fall out of my ears all the time. Generally, I do okay with headphones that have different sizes of silicone tips so I was expecting the Powerbeats Pro to be a comfort upgrade. Initially, they actually hurt my ears more than Air Pods, especially my right ear. I fully blame this on my freakishly small ears. I'm one of those people who often finds "one size fits all" to be laughably ridiculous. Again, I was determined to love these things so I tinkered a bit to find an acceptable level of discomfort. The largest tip allows me to get a good seal without having to put them in so deep, relieving some pressure and cutting down on pain. When I first tried them, I could only last about 20 minutes before the pain forced me to take them out. After adjusting to find a good angle and replacing the silicone tips with Comply Sport tips, I'm a lot more comfortable and can last 2 or 3 hours before I feel discomfort. Even then, I would call it discomfort and not outright pain. It's discomfort I can live with and not any worse than what I experience with Air Pods. Also, my discomfort is only in my right ear instead of both like I get with Air Pods. Since I go with one bud a lot of the time, I'll just use the left one. No biggie. I can't blame the manufacturer for my tiny ears which is why I'm not taking away a star. On the plus side, the fit is very secure. I have worked out in them several times and they don't budge. I never could work out in Air Pods because they fell out all the time. I can also wear these while laying down which I couldn't do in Air Pods without them falling out periodically. Also, the connection is great. Original Air Pods used to randomly lose connection or not connect when they were supposed to. The chip upgrade in the Powerbeats Pro seems to have resolved this little annoyance. They connect faster and after a week, I haven't experienced a drop or glitch once. The Powerbeats Pro do come with a tradeoff when it comes to the size of the case. If you are used to carrying around Air Pods in your pocket in their tiny case, forget about it with Powerbeats Pro. The case is significantly larger. It goes in a bag or purse without taking up a ton of room but it's too big to fit comfortably in a pocket. The extra battery life for Powerbeats is nice though. I frequently use one bud at a time and used to drain an Air Pod and have to switch ears regularly. I'm using the Powerbeats Pro the same way and haven't drained a bud yet. I'm okay with the bigger case since the better battery life makes me feel secure about leaving the case at home when I need to go bagless. So in summary, these are the best sounding buds I have used. They are super convenient, easy to connect and won't fall out of your ears. If you have normal human sized ears, they will probably be comfortable and the battery life is great. You have to deal with a bigger case but the positive improvements over Air Pods make the size trade-off worth it. If you don't hear the bass, try different tips and twist them around a bit before you give up. Hopefully you won't have to work as hard at it as I did to find your happy place with Powerbeats Pro but the effort has been worth it. These are really great headphones and worth the price.

I want to preface this before I say anything about these headphones: I primarily use headphones for music and podcasts while I am cycling, running, or sitting at my desk at work. I use Spotify for music, and I am not an audiophile. I am not comparing these to a pair of Sennheisers with a lossless audio format as my source. I also am using an iPhone 7+ and iPad Air 2 for my devices in this review. I have been waiting on a getting a pair of truly wireless headphones because none seemed to be worth it to me. The battery life is usually dismal for obvious reasons, and most had complaints of cutouts between the earbuds. Some friends of mine have Air Pods and they all said they didn’t have cutout issues and battery life was pretty good. But, I just didn’t like the design of the Air Pods and they sounded “hollow” to me. But I get their appeal. I am so glad I waited for the Powerbeats Pro (PBP)! I was using the Jaybird X3 before I got these, and I think the sound is on par with them. One of my main annoyances with the X3’s was that the cord would tug once sweat built up on my neck while exercising, and I couldn’t use the cable shortener they provide because of the way my helmet is. I went for a bike ride yesterday with the PBP’s, and they were fantastic! It was a little windy, so I did get a little wind noise. I am hoping Comply makes some tips for these because I think that would make the noise isolation much better. My ride was around 2 hours and I still had 80% left on the PBP battery. Cons: 1. The case: it’s actually smaller than I thought, but would still be uncomfortable in a pocket. I think the 9 hour battery life on the actual headphones make this acceptable, but this may be deal breaker for some. 2. Ear fatigue: I didn’t have any fatigue during my ride, but my ears were definitely a little sensitive where the hook was resting after I took the headphones off. I’m hoping this gets better as I wear them. 3. Like the Air Pods, the PBP’s can only be connected to one device at a time. They will pair to all Apple devices on your iCloud account, but if you want to switch between devices, you have to go into your Bluetooth settings and select them. On Android you will need to pair each device separately. 4. I usually listen to a podcast when I go to sleep. These are not comfortable to lay on if you are side sleeper like I am. Also, the button the headphones will get pushed by the pillow. The button doesn’t require much force, which is great because your not shoving the headphones into your ear. Not a huge deal, but just thought I would mention it. Pros: 1. Great sound for Truly wireless, I think. 2. Great fit for exercise. 3. Pretty good sound isolation, but like I said, I am hoping Comply makes some tips for these. 4. Actual headphones are smaller than I thought they would be, and they don’t look weird on you when you are just walking down the street. Bottom line, if you use an iOS device and use headphones while exercising, I can’t recommend these enough! In my opinion, the $250 price tag is worth it given where other truly wireless headphones are priced.

I bought a pair of these off Amazon in July of 2023. These are the best earbuds I’ve ever owned. I’ve seen reviews complaining about sound quality. They sound amazing for what they are. When I’m not active I use over the ear headphones for the quality. But for the gym, shopping, bowling, or at the roller rink I use these. They drown out all other noise in these environments. I hear a little music at the roller rink but it is not enough to ruin my mood or my music. I’m really writing this review because on January 22nd 2025 one of my earbuds stopped working. It seemed like it was not charging. I thought I was going to have to get another pair of earbuds. I was a little disappointed because I don’t abuse my earbuds and I felt like they should not be having any issues. I was reading reviews comparing the original Powerbeats with the Powerbeats 2 to see if $70 was worth the upgrade or if I should just get another pair of the original Powerbeats. One of the reviews said that they were having connectivity issues and that they cleaned their earbuds with rubbing alcohol. I decided to try that before I got a new pair of earbuds. It worked like a charm. They are working great now. They even fit snug in the charging case again. They stopped clicking into place when I would put them away. They started clicking again. If you are having trouble with your Powerbeats I suggest that you clean them thoroughly. Both the earbuds and the case. To be honest if you have not done that I would recommend doing it as soon as possible as it made a huge difference for me.

I love my Beats. They were easy to pair with my iPhone and are comfortable to wear. I use them primarily on my walks and the sound quality is exceptional. Though a bit expensive, they work better than cheaper earbuds that I’ve bought. They also charge easily. I’ve not experienced how long a charge lasts as I keep them in their charging case after my walks.

This is a review for use with android and macbook pro TLDR most glitchy product i've ever had in my life. Updates are few and far between and bring new glitches. Most common glitch is sound going out of sync between left and right resulting in delay, and feeling of echo in the audio: it's infuriating and requires disconnect and reconnect: sometimes with waiting in between or having to repair from box which makes the big bulky charge box a must carry everywhere: can't exactly go ona run with that thing. Imagine having to interrupt your sports routine 2-4 times to get these things working, does that make you want to work out more or less? Since i first bought them, they have been nothing but glitchy, and it took two months to have them replaced on apple care (because apple after sale service is a joke) so i made a glitch diary over the past few weeks to write this review. Android: many of these glitches are not android dependent but rather location/movement dependent, or where you put your phone dependent, or what your phone is touching dependent or next to what appliance you're standing dependent and sometimes audio app dependent (switching apps resolves the glitch). Glitches are "seasonal" they come and go, though some are constant. But there's always something new. -Worst and by most common glitch: the earbuds often go out of sync resulting in an echo (bc of the delay btw one ear and the other). This one is infuriating/maddening: happens everyday many times. Sometimes i just live with it because i don't want to go through the motions of disconnecting/wait/reconnect but the sync keeps drifting and it gets jarring/disorienting after a while: like chinese drip torture. - powerbeats connect, sound still comes from phone speakers -“skipping sound effect” from the connection faltering -sometimes nonstop struggle to stay in sync, stay connected -Sounds cuts in and out repeatedly with random intervals (on... off........ on.... off... on........ off...) -put them in a box and close it only to realize they’re still connected and the sound is coming out of the box still, but sometimes the opposite problem occurs: i'd be listening from macbook speakers and they. randomly connect to the laptop and start playing from within the box, and pause playback. Must turn off bluetooth on device to recover sound from speakers. -sometimes resumes all audio app after you pause and play (eg pause podcast, hit play, youtube, podcasts, audible all start playing together at the same time) - Different buttons/functions cease to work, sometimes all buttons won’t respond (sound plays buttons unresponsive), sometimes just some buttons, just volume or play, or just one earbud. -Sometimes buttons work but no sound (can see the app play/pause on the screen) -Sometimes connects (as confirmed by connection sound and bluetooth menu on phone) but no sound and buttons unresponsive. Sometimes no sound though buttons can play/pause -lag between commands and response (btw hitting play and music playing, pause and music pausing) - often disconnects from phone after a call: when you hang up sound resumes from phone speakers -sometimes disconnects during call making me run back to phone to continue call on phone - sometimes one of the earbuds "forgets" its charged straight out of the box, putting it back in the charge box "reminds" it it's actually full (goes from 0% to 100% immediately): imagine you put them on step out of the. house and realize one of the earbuds is acting dead, now you have to go back home, stick it in the huge box you don't want to carry around and. then g et back to your run/bike/routine -rarely, one earbud "dies" and needs to be placed in charging box for a long while before it comes back to "life" -updates few and far between and bring new glitches - EVERYTIME I ride (bike) through specific intersections it "slices" the connection: audio goes out though the app continues to play and the connection is still established in the bluetooth menu. Recently (new "seasonal" glitches since last update ): -just doesn't automatically connect when i open box and put them on, I have to manually connect them from the bluetooth menu, sometimes i have to repair them from the box. - one ear starts playing immediately, other earbud takes 6-9 seconds to connect, during which you're standing there. waiting to see if it's this glitch or the one where one of the earbuds thinks it's empty and needs to be put back in the box to remember it's full. -earbuds connect but they don't make the connection sound so you don't know if they've connected or not without playing something - entire volume range is on the bottom three increments of the volume bar, goes from no sound (one volume click up) 50% volume (one volume click up) 100% volume and all the rest of the range no matter how much you volume up/down, remains at 100% volume. Macbook pro -refuses to connect/reconnect to macbook pro, no idea why, requires a factory reset and re pairing -randomly switches to another device mid use (from phone to macbook pro or vice versa) Sound Quality: bass ok, HIGH TREBLE many podcasts sound like there's a hissing in your ear when they pronounce the letter S. Overall sound is good but the hissing from the high trebble is annoying: one solution to this i found was to use biggest size rubber buds and shove them well into your ear: enhances bass and mitigates treble. Customer service: took nine days to ship them back to some facility to have them "looked at" decided they were fine within twenty minutes (i know this because they have a link to a tracker) and returned them to me (they had to overnight ship them when I blew a gasket at the store when i realized the confirmation email after nine days was just for their receipt of the product at the repair facility and not that they were done and ready for pickup: nine days, just to get from the store to the "repair" facility). Had to return twice more and both times same thing: they receive them, immediately decide nothing wrong with them, return them: spent the whole summer without the product i had bought SPECIFICALLY for that summer. In the end some "genius" i paris told me it was because they were labeling the problem as "permanent" as opposed to "intermittent" (permanent means it's always there and so it should show right out of the box) Please comment if you've been having any of these problems. thanks 100% would not recommend

Good product. Sound quality and connection is great. But the battery of one of the pieces (usually the left earphone) tends to go bad after a year or so.

I recently purchased the Beats Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earbuds and I am extremely impressed with their performance. These earbuds are truly exceptional in every way and I would give them a 5 out of 5 star rating. Firstly, the sound quality of these earbuds is outstanding. The bass is deep and the highs are crisp, providing an overall clear and balanced sound. Additionally, the volume can be turned up quite loud without any distortion, which is perfect for those who like to listen to their music at high volumes. The earbuds also provide excellent noise isolation, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in your music. One of the most impressive features of these earbuds is their battery life. With up to 9 hours of listening time, these earbuds can easily last an entire day without needing to be charged. This is especially impressive considering the compact size of the earbuds. The charging case also provides an additional 24 hours of battery life, meaning you can go days without needing to charge the earbuds. The Beats Powerbeats Pro also feature the Apple H1 headphone chip, which provides a seamless connection to your Apple devices. The earbuds connect instantly and stay connected without any issues. The Class 1 Bluetooth technology also provides an excellent range, allowing you to move freely without any loss of connection. These earbuds are also sweat and water-resistant, making them perfect for workouts or outdoor activities. The earbuds have been designed to stay securely in your ears, even during the most intense workouts. Finally, the built-in microphone on these earbuds is excellent. The microphone provides clear audio and cancels out any background noise, ensuring that your voice is heard loud and clear on phone calls. Overall, I highly recommend the Beats Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earbuds. They are an exceptional product that provides outstanding sound quality, long battery life, seamless connectivity, and are sweat and water-resistant. These earbuds are perfect for anyone looking for high-quality wireless earbuds that can keep up with their active lifestyle. Here's a comparison between the Beats Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earbuds and the Bose SoundSport Free Wireless Earbuds Beats Powerbeats Pro: • Price: $249.95 • Connectivity: Class 1 Bluetooth • Battery Life: 9 hours (24 hours with case) • Charging Time: 5 minutes for 1.5 hours • Water Resistance: Sweat and water resistant (IPX4) • Microphone: Yes • Noise Cancellation: No • Audio Quality: Good • Design: Ear hooks for secure fit • Compatibility: Works with iOS and Android Bose SoundSport Free: • Price: $199.00 • Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.0 • Battery Life: 5 hours (10 hours with case) • Charging Time: 2 hours • Water Resistance: Sweat and water resistant (IPX4) • Microphone: Yes • Noise Cancellation: No • Audio Quality: Very good • Design: Ear hooks for secure fit • Compatibility: Works with iOS and Android Both the Beats Powerbeats Pro and the Bose SoundSport Free are great wireless earbuds with some similar features such as sweat and water resistance, ear hooks for secure fit, and microphone. However, there are some differences in terms of connectivity, battery life, and price. The Beats Powerbeats Pro has Class 1 Bluetooth which provides a longer range and stronger connectivity compared to the Bose SoundSport Free's Bluetooth 5.0. The Powerbeats Pro also has a longer battery life with 9 hours of listening time and 24 hours with the charging case compared to the Bose SoundSport Free's 5 hours of listening time and 10 hours with the charging case. However, the Powerbeats Pro is more expensive than the Bose SoundSport Free. In terms of audio quality, both earbuds have good sound quality, but the Bose SoundSport Free is considered to have a slightly better audio quality than the Powerbeats Pro. Additionally, neither earbud has noise cancellation. Overall, both earbuds are great options depending on your needs and budget. If you want longer battery life and stronger connectivity, the Beats Powerbeats Pro may be the better choice, but if you're looking for better value for your money and slightly better audio quality, the Bose SoundSport Free could be a good option. Here's a comparison between the Beats Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earbuds and the Sony WF-1000XM4 Wireless Earbuds in a points form: Beats Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earbuds: • Price: $249.95 USD • Battery Life: Up to 9 hours • Charging Case Battery Life: Up to 24 hours • Water Resistance: Sweat and water resistant • Bluetooth Version: Class 1 Bluetooth 5.0 • Noise Cancellation: No • Transparency Mode: Yes • Voice Assistant: Siri (iOS) / Google Assistant (Android) • Driver Size: 9mm • Weight: 20.3g Sony WF-1000XM4 Wireless Earbuds: • Price: $279.99 USD • Battery Life: Up to 8 hours (with ANC on) • Charging Case Battery Life: Up to 24 hours • Water Resistance: IPX4 water resistance • Bluetooth Version: Bluetooth 5.2 • Noise Cancellation: Yes, with advanced ANC technology • Transparency Mode: Yes • Voice Assistant: Google Assistant / Alexa • Driver Size: 6mm • Weight: 7.3g As you can see, the Beats Powerbeats Pro have a longer battery life and are sweat and water-resistant, making them ideal for workouts and outdoor activities. However, the Sony WF-1000XM4 offer advanced noise cancellation technology and are lighter in weight. The price difference is also worth noting, with the Sony WF-1000XM4 being more expensive than the Beats Powerbeats Pro. Ultimately, the choice between the two will depend on your personal preferences and needs.

As a quick backstory, I have a huge head. I have never had a hat that fits nor in-ear earbuds. I had been using Skullcandy earbuds because they were small enough that I could kind of just jam them into the ear canal then push on them every few minutes to keep them in. I tried Airpods, about every skullcandy variant on the market, offbrand, and more. I am happy to say that the search is over! Everyone knows about the quality of the sound that Beats have. They are well known for it and since I used to own a pair of over-ear headphones by Beats I can comfortably say the sound hasn't really changed. The build quality is impressive and no material in the box feels tacky or cheap. Although the new iPhones are using USB-C for their cable which will make this obsolete for new phones, I do appreciate that I can use the same lightning cable for my iPhone 13 that I use to charge the docking holder thingy. One less cable I need to carry around. The fit is really good. Astoundingly good. I have always preferred over-ear loops to hold buds in because I can feel a bit more secure in wearing them and it helps to keep the buds centered. In addition to having large ears and a large head, I was also given large ear canals which constantly would spit out my previous skullcandy buds over time and make me paranoid that they were going to disappear. These still leave a bit to be desired for fit as they are just slightly too small for my ears. This all being said, I am a mutant with big ears and 99.99% of the population are going to find these fit like a glove. Finally, the smaller features of the buds really helps push them over the edge. Built-in detectors on the buds detect if you are taking them off and automatically pause the music/video you are watching. This is especially crucial for a person like me who regularly has to put them on then take them off when I get accosted by coworkers on a minute-by-minute basis. The volume controls are in a good spot and I appreciate that they are an actual button instead of some of the finicky touch controls that other companies use. Finally, I find the carrying case to be extremely bulky, but with the battery life I have experienced with these buds I am not at all going to complain about it. Manufacturer spec states 9 hours in ear with the charge in the case providing a total of 24 hours. They have to be going with the modest route! They have to be! I got 38 out of them on a work trip between Seattle and Dubai. I charged the case and the buds to the max before my flight than forgot to charge them while I was away. They died about 2 hours outside SeaTac on the return flight. Overall these are quality buds with good sound quality, great build, and a range of small stuff that eliminates the hassle normally encountered with bluetooth buds. If you get asked often, "is your hearing good with ears the size of an elephant?" than these buds are the one for you! If you are not shamed due to your large ears, they probably will work just as well for you too.

the left ear is not working and not charging the plastic cover of the beats box is slighlty teared off. it seems like it is a return item and reselling it back again. very bad product and the seller is reseling back defective item scan seller

First let me start by saying I’m not an expert nor an audiophile. I was on the hunt for true wireless earbuds that I could use at work. They had to have good quality sound, excellent battery life, the ability to use one at a time, and be comfortable to wear hours at a time. Excluding budget earphones there are not many options available at what I’d call a premium level. So here is what helped me choose this particular set. Both the right and left ear bud have identical controls allowing you to use one alone or both together. Each earbud can control volume, play /pause, next track and previous track. They have an estimated 9h batter life and easily recharge within their case. Setup is super easy and I’m currently using them with an Android phone. Sound quality is good but please keep in mind sound is subjective. What I like you might not like. Volume levels seem high enough for me. Any louder and honestly you are asking for hearing problems in the future. They are very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. You have a better chance of your head falling off before these would fall out of your ears. So if you are looking for ear buds to use while working out these would be perfect. If you are a four eyed freak like me Yes you can use your glasses with these. I don’t find it difficult to wear at all. I haven’t had any issues with Bluetooth connections. These have the Apple H1 chip so you will have the same connection experience you would have with AirPods. I’ve connected these with my iPhone 7+, iPad, Huawei P30 Pro, and Nvidia Shield. You will only be able to connect these to one device at a time. I’m very pleased with these and other than the higher price tag compared to similar options I think they are among the best available at the moment. They might not be for you and they might not be for others. That in no way makes them junk or not worth buying.

The earphones are not charging after 3 months of use. The case charges fine but the right side earphones are losing charge/ not charging when placed in the case... very disappointing.

First Review (21-05-2021): 4-Stars There is nothing wrong with the product as a lot of reviews say, I am using it for a few days now, it is working well. There are a lot of videos showing the difference between the original and the fake ones, following a few of them, the product is original and nothing like the fake ones, the low price is probably due to the absence of warranty, so checking the serial number on Apple website confirms that it is an original, however, there are no warranty plans or even purchase date available. My recommendation is to go through with the product purchase, and purchase an additional AMAZON UAE warranty plan (extra 25-50 AED/year). So for that warranty issue I take of a star, giving the product and overall 4/5 rating. New Update (23-05-2021): 5-Stars I e-mailed Amazon.ae inquiring about the warranty, they confirmed that warranty is 1-year covered by Amazon directly -not by APPLE-, which can be claimed but needs the presence of both, original box and invoice, thus the Warranty issued is resolved, considering of course the reputation of Amazon.

One of the best purchase till date ✌🏻
