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

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.

These are probably the best Bluetooth earbuds I have ever bought. There is one bug, but it is very easy to fix and it rarely happens. Occasionally (I am saying like once every 3 months), the earbuds will disconnect from my device and stop playing sound. The easy fix is to turn off Bluetooth and turn it back on. I have read reviews of similar occurrences and people are thinking it is Bluetooth interference. I do not think that is what it is. Just happens randomly. I use them every day and sometimes I lose connection with no other Bluetooth devices around. But other than one small bug, these earbuds rock! I will use one earbud at a time and rotate them when one earbud is low. Each earbud lasts about 9 hours and the base charges an additional 24 hours, which means I make my earbuds last about 42 hours. Bluetooth range is excellent. Sound quality is excellent. Does get loud but it does not completely cancel out sound (like a vacuum running). Earbuds are very relaxing on the ears and I wear them all day. Works with my 2 computers, Windows and Chromebook. Works with my Samsung S8 and my Samsung tablet. I do have an old iPod touch (gen 2) and it did not support it. But these are made for apple so you will get the most of it using an iPhone. Did some research and with the iPhone, you can use Siri by holding down the button on the earbud and you can get a battery status of the powerbeats on the phone. Android, Windows, and Chromebook do not support these features. Unless there was an update recently and they fixed it. I tested all of this out months ago when I first got my powerbeats. What I love the most about these powerbeats is the security of the earbuds. To sync to new devices, the user must hold down the sync button, then connect. Once connected, the user can connect to the earbuds when they are not connected to another device. Let me give you an example. I have these connected to my laptop, phone, tablet, etc. I can take one earbud with me and put in my pocket. The charging base is at home and I am out doing errands. I can turn on my Bluetooth on my phone, find the powerbeats under Paired Devices, and it connects. I then can disconnect from my phone and connect to my tablet. Once they are connected, they remain connected. It will never switch devices. The earbuds are never in discoverable mode unless you sync them. So, someone else that has Bluetooth on and is searching for a device will not even see it, even though it is not connected to anything. With most Bluetooth devices, if it is on and disconnected, people can see the device. The last thing I will talk about is the sensor in the earbud. So far it works with all my devices. If I take out my earbud, the music or movie that is playing will stop and once I put the earbud back on, it resumes on its own. I guess one thing I do not like is that there is no battery indicator on the charging base. I will use them every day and forget to check the battery life on the charging base. Usually every 2 or 3 days I will charge the base to make sure it is always charged. Whenever the Powerbeats Pro 2 come out, hopefully they add this feature. Like 4 lights on the bottom, indicating 25, 50, 75, and 100%. The 25 should blink when almost dead. But other than that, I love my powerbeats pro!

These are really amazing wireless earbuds. I'm gonna do pros and cons along with some other thoughts about this product. This review is written 4 months after using this product. Pros: 1. Battery life. The battery life is amazing. I never had these die on me except when I play video games all night. They also have fast charging which is very useful if you need to charge them real quick. 2. Fit. The fit is really perfect. They feel comfortable and they stay in my ears perfectly. I exercise a lot and these earbuds always stay in my ears when I'm at the gym and when I'm running. If you are looking for some workout earbuds, then these will give you reliable and beautiful performance. 3. Sound quality. The sound quality is amazing. Nice, clear and crisp. 4. The Apple features. The extra features that the Powerbeats have when using with apple devices are nice but don't let those features discourage you android users from buying the Powerbeats. The features aren't important enough for you to decide not to buy them (Not gonna list out the features in order to make this review shorter) 5. Range. The range is amazing. I can be listening to music on my phone and leave my phone in my room and walk anywhere in the house and still be able to listen to the music. The music starts cutting out depending on the amount of objects blocking the signal. 6. Ability to wear with glasses. I can wear these with my glasses with no problem at all. I can take my glasses on and off and have no trouble. 7. Good microphone. I use these earbuds for phone calls and video calls and the person can hear me pretty good. I can hear them perfectly fine. My brother tells me that I sound muffled but he can still hear me good. Cons: 1. Pain. After wearing them for a couple of hours, I start to feel slight discomfort. This only happens after many hours so it isn't something i'm complaining about. Just felt like I should mention it so everyone is aware. The pain that is the problem is the major pain that comes after weeks of regular use. I'm not sure what is happening but it's like the Powerbeats is making the skin inside my ear peel off. I think this is happening because they are too tight in my ears. This has happened I believe 3 times and the goes away after I left my ears heal. As i'm writing this review, I am experiencing the major pain and I adjusted the left earhook so it's not as tight in my ear as before (Problem is currently only in my left ear). I'm not sure if I'm the only one who experiences this but if you can deal with this then don't let that discourage you from buying the Powerbeats (It isn't that big of a problem for me). 2. Bluetooth connection on Windows 10 computers. I'm not sure if this also happens on other versions of Windows and android devices but sometimes there would randomly be a 1-2 second cut in the sound about every two minutes. This doesn't happen at all on my iPhone. I would also experience random disconnections on my laptop. Another thing about the connection is that it is weaker on my laptop than on my phone. Not sure why. 3. Bulky case. This doesn't matter to me at all because I usually have a bag that I carry with me when I go to places that I can slip the case into. I'm just mentioning it so people can be aware. You can put it in your pocket if you want but it will look weird because there will be a giant bulge in your pants. That's it about the pros and cons. Now it's time to talk about the problems I had with the Powerbeats. I'm having flashbacks of the problems I encountered while typing this part of the review. Problem 1. This only happened once but I will still talk about it. I was connecting the Powerbeats to my iPhone and forgetting them in the bluetooth settings because I was enjoying the animation that pops up when you pair them with your iPhone. Then all of a sudden they would not pair again. Man I thought they were already broken and it was the day I got them. I thought my $200 dollars went down the drain. But luckily I managed to get them to pair again after a long time of research and trying different things. What fixed the problem was charging the case because apparently since it was at I believe 30 something percent, it couldn't pair. Problem 2. This was the worst problem. I've had this problem happen twice in the last month and a half. One of the earbuds would not pair and sound would only come out of the earbud that was paired. I had to switch back to my other pair of wireless earbuds that I previously had until I figured out how to solve this problem. It took days of extensive research and multiple solution attempts before I finally managed to fix the problem. I was about to return them but luckily I solved the problem before I did. Final thoughts: Despite the cons and problems I encountered, I would still recommend these earbuds to anyone. If you encounter any of the problems I did, I hope you can easily solve them and if you don't, you can reply to my comment and ask me for my solution. Hopefully Amazon has a feature where you get notifications when someone replies to your review. If you read this whole thing, thank you and I appreciate it. If you didn't then thanks for taking a look at it. Update: I no longer experience the major pain in my ears and the skin peeling off after I adjusted the earhooks to get the right fit (Update written on 8/18/21).

I am not an audiophile. But I spend a lot of my time on the go for my job. So having a pair of good wireless headphones with microphones to take and make calls is a must. I originally bought a pair of black wireless PowerBeats Pro back in June. I have nothing bad to say. The only minor downside is that these do pinch your ears. But unlike my Beats Solo 3 headphones, the hooks are adjustable so I can wear them for long periods by moving the hooks if they pinch. Powerbeats Pro Wireless are better than AirPods in terms of value for the money and sound quality. I bought a pair of AirPods after briefly losing my Powerbeats in an Uber. (Bought a case with a clip after that. Highly recommend!) I kept the AirPods around after getting my Powerbeats Pros back. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to get another pair of Powerbeats because they went on sale and I originally wanted the navy ones. I sold my original black pair thinking I would get my new ones in a few days. They ended up getting lost in transit so I used my AirPods for a week and here’s what I learned. AirPods are just ok. Yes, they are small and convenient and a little more comfortable to wear. But the battery life on them sucks compared to Powerbeats. Yes, they charge fairly quickly but I was losing 30 percent of my battery in about two hours. Not great for days where I’m busy and want to listen to books or music in between. The sound quality isn’t great if you’re anywhere with noise. I had to have the volume turned up most of the time which I’m sure didn’t help the battery life. The ultimate test was being on a BART train and the noise of the actual train overriding the audio unless it was turned up. Lastly, AirPods don’t fall out of my ears as easily as I thought they would. But they still do. And it happens when you least expect it. I did a lot of research before buying my Powerbeats and they are worth the $250 price tag to me, though a sale never hurts. The large case is a negative to people but it has a battery that gives 24 hours of charge. No one had a longer battery life and a decent charge out of the buds I looked at except Beats.

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

These are amazing I love these they a super loud how I like it it blocks out excess noise and sounds clear for the music I play they fit snug over my ear comfortably. easy to access the volume play stop all through just by pressing the buttons on the headphones. I order black which was exactly what I asked for and it was like a matte with a little gloss perfect! These headphones can do many things hang up calls answer calls etc. From what it's made of can be easily cleaned which is a plus !

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 ✌🏻
