    "...The audio sounds fine...." Read more

    "...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...." Read more

    "...2. Noise Cancelation. While not comparable to over the ear headphones for in-ear buds I can't imagine that you would get much better. 3...." Read more

    "...until compared with higher tier, then when a/b compared it sounded a bit more fake, a bit more digital, definitely enough to notice a difference..." Read more

    3,541 customers mention "Quality"2,696 positive845 negative

    Customers appreciate the good quality of these headphones. They find them reliable, sturdy, and durable. The build quality feels amazing, and the performance is better than bargain earbuds. Many consider them secure, comfortable, and better than other earbuds they have used in the past.

    "These are very nice handy earbuds, achieving the dreams I had years ago for Bluetooth ear pieces suitable for working out...." Read more

    "...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...." Read more

    "...Pros 1st: 1. Sound quality. These are so much better than the bargain earbuds that I have always used that it's not even comparable...." Read more

    "...Since i first bought them, they have been nothing but glitchy, and it took two months to have them replaced on apple care..." Read more

    1,707 customers mention "Fit"1,210 positive497 negative

    Customers like the fit of the headphones. They say the ear hooks provide a secure fit, and the various sizes of buds allow them to find a great fit. The headphones are lightweight despite the large package and stay in the ear well.

    "...Pros do fit a bit differently than the Powerbeats, but for me they fit fine and stay secure -- I prefer buds with the over-the-ear arch...." Read more

    "...I wanted this to be my favorite. It's light, small, has fun color options, and sounds great...." Read more

    2,343 customers mention "Functionality"923 positive1,420 negative

    Customers have mixed reviews about the headphones' functionality. Some say they work well for phone calls and are identical to AirPods in terms of usage with Apple devices. However, others report issues like them stopping working when removed from the ears, right earbud not functioning properly, or not turning on at all.

    "...The earbuds were fully charged before takeoff, and completely dead at landing. I have no idea why this happened, but I assumed it was a fluke...." Read more

    "...One other thing to note: These work just fine with my glasses but the arms on my glasses are straight...." Read more

    "...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...." Read more

    "...As with any Apple product the other controls work good too, a physical button on the side of each ear bud gives control of a host of other features...." Read more

    2,256 customers mention "Battery life"1,359 positive897 negative

    Customers have mixed opinions about the battery life of the headphones. Some say it's amazing, with a full charge per earbud lasting 9 hours and the base charging an additional 24 hours. The charger in the case is great, and the carrier and battery case are great. However, others mention that the right earbud would never hold a charge, would discharge even in the case, and one side is always draining power faster than the other. It's tricky to measure the battery life, since there is no way to turn these buds off except to turn them off.

    "...human sized ears, they will probably be comfortable and the battery life is great...." Read more

    "...Tricky to measure the battery life, since there is no way to turn these buds off except to insert them into their case, at which point they start to..." Read more

    "...3. Battery life and charging time. I use these earbuds almost every single day. The battery has never been an issue...." Read more

    "...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..." Read more

    1,873 customers mention "Comfort"1,224 positive649 negative

    Customers have different experiences with the headphones' comfort. Some find them relaxing and comfortable to wear for long periods without getting sore ears. Others report discomfort, especially if they sleep on their side. The case is also found awkward to use and putting the headphones back in can be difficult at times.

    "...Excessively comfortable, like the most comfortable of any of the earbuds (premiums included), and feel like they will stay in on a run even though..." Read more

    "...I could wear them for hours and not get sore ears. I am not an athlete but I am constantly moving around the house and leaning over etc...." Read more

    "...Initially, they actually hurt my ears more than Air Pods, especially my right ear. I fully blame this on my freakishly small ears...." Read more

    "...Ok, the PowerBeats Pro = The quality and feel of these earbuds are outstanding, second to no one. Just amazing experience right out of the box...." Read more

    1,838 customers mention "Value for money"764 positive1,074 negative

    Customers have different views on the value for money of the headphones. Some find them worth the price and good to go, while others say they're not worth the original pricing compared to competitors.

    "First, the sound of these ear buds are OK at best. Nothing special to support the price. They ARE comfortable once fitted correctly...." Read more

    "...These are really great headphones and worth the price." Read more

    "...About two and a half times the size of AirPods case. 6. Expensive...." Read more

    "...Golrex $29.99 It is okay sound, probably the best in this price range...." Read more

    2,049 customers mention "Charging ability"486 positive1,563 negative

    Customers have issues with the charging ability of the headphones. They mention that one or both earbuds don't charge in the charging case, it's difficult to get an even charge, and the earbuds were fully charged before takeoff and completely dead at landing. Some say it's frustrating to see the charge status as 100% and then to find that one ear is 100% and the other is not. It's also frustrating to see the charge state as 100% and then find that one ear has 100% and the other is only 80%.

    "...But close enough to say that when the case gets to 4% it stops effectively charging the buds...." Read more

    "...The earbuds were fully charged before takeoff, and completely dead at landing. I have no idea why this happened, but I assumed it was a fluke...." Read more

    "...It's quite frustrating to see the charge status as 100% and then to find that one ear is 100% and the other is 0%. Other than that they're great." Read more

    "...connection, the ability to use one bud at a time and charging on the go in the case...." Read more

    Downgraded to 3 stars - can not get a good seal - Returning
    3 out of 5 stars
    Downgraded to 3 stars - can not get a good seal - Returning
    Update 10/29/21 =I downgraded the to 3 stars, my glowing original review below mostly stands except for fit. I am returning as I can not get a good seal in one of my ears and sound quality goes down. The ear pieces that come with these are far too small, I have tried in vain and unless I hold the left ear against my head I can not get the full sound. IN fact I was in disbelief and kept trying.Then there is my wife who can use the smaller ear pieces but construction of the buds themselves prevent a good seal and honestly look silly on her *L*Anyway, what I wrote below I guess is pretty much true if you can get a good seal to get good sound.I decided to keep the Jaybird vista 2 se AND the Bose Sport Ear Buds both if the fit me much better and resulting sound quality is truly a treat. Jaybird Controls, App are great and small size are good for sleeping in or laying in bed.Bose controls and App are almost primitive but the fit and sound outstanding.(Original text below)Im not sure what I can add to my review. Its all in the title!My background = I have been into audio my entire life, family and friends would seek my advice for decades. Things have changed since, most audio is "good enough" now.However, earbuds are must more intimate. You are putting this device in your ear and it needs to fit just right for the best sound. Whats more is, manufacturers can only "best guess" what is going to fit the majority of ears in every human being around the world.I always had an issue with one bud in my left ear working loose during activity, drove me nuts.I tried Jabra Elite 75t, Jabra Elite Active 75t, JBL Reflect Mini NC and have returned them because of this issue.Im currently testing Bose Sport, Jaybird Vista 2 SE and these PowerBeats Pro's.For what it is worth, the PowerBeats Pro's are the ones I am keeping and are the ones that I measure all others against. With that said I am also looking for a second set "just because" The PowerBeats are one style and the others mentioned another style. So I am still testing Bose Sportbuds and Jaybird Vista 2 SE out in order to select one of those two for my second set.Ok, the PowerBeats Pro =The quality and feel of these earbuds are outstanding, second to no one. Just amazing experience right out of the box. What is more, they are so comfortable its actually feels good when that soft ear tip pushing gently against your ear.Sound Quality = Sound quality is among the best, keeping in mind Beats needs to appeal to a wide range of consumers, right out of the box you will have crisp highs, well define bass. The midrange is a bit subdued as it is on most consumer items to add excitement to the music. Anyway, like I said, this is right out of the box, the PowerBeats Pro's are very responsive to your equalizer settings on your device should you want to change the sound.Controls = Wonderful for the most part. Its really GREAT having physical volume controls on the top of both earbuds, they work great. As with any Apple product the other controls work good too, a physical button on the side of each ear bud gives control of a host of other features. The button works just fine but its the one thing Im not crazy about, I seem to hunt around for it at first with my finger, Im sure in time I will get more used to it.Phone App = There is none for the iPhone as which is what Apple does with all their earbuds, drives me nuts but is what it is. You do get seamless, PERFECT bluetooth connection each time and the earbuds work perfectly, all functions such as equalizer work through the phones equalizer which is great, I jsut wish, one day Apple would step up to the plate with a real equalizer instead of having to choose preconfigured set EQ buttons.The good news is, these earbuds are so good I do not need the EQ. I leave it off, they sound that good, keeping in mind sound is VERY subjective and more so in an earbud, so you do have the Apple EQ to change the sound to your liking.FIt =Fit is perfect for me, everyones head is different and that goes for ANY earbud, all I can say is these things stay in place and amazingly, somehow you barely know they are there, gosh, sometimes you hear sounds in the music and it sounds like its coming from some other place around you and not from the earbuds.Summary =It doesnt get any better for earbuds except for the things I mention on my want list, it just depends exactly what you want and need them for as well as individual fit.1. The sound can sound a little crisp with deep bass which is great but not perfect and any device is never perfect but can say it doesnt get much better. I do want for more midrange at times, but again, there is an equalizer in your phone to select preset options if you wish.2. Hands down, the fit is nice and secure, most of all comfortable.3. The over the ear hook is jsut fantastic for sport earbuds, along with the entire design where the earpiece is even curved to your head.As mentioned the runners up to these are the Bose Sportbuds and Jaybird Vista 2 SE. I love the play factor of the Jaybird EQ but I get a little bit of the left earbud not perfectly staying in place on my ear, yet I suspect the vast majority would not have any issue and my own wife may select this one.For my second set I am leaning towards the Bose Sport, love the sound, EQ VERY basic and most of all, stays put on my ear almost as good but not quite and the PowerBeats Pro's ...Try the Powerbeats the VAST majority will and do love them. As well as my first choice.

    • Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2021
      Color: Lava RedVerified Purchase
      These are very nice handy earbuds, achieving the dreams I had years ago for Bluetooth ear pieces suitable for working out. You can probably still find my reviews from 15 years ago blasting massive, poorly-built, LED-blazing Bluetooth earphones. For years I've been using the earlier Powerbeats wireless (the buds connected by a cord). These Pros do fit a bit differently than the Powerbeats, but for me they fit fine and stay secure -- I prefer buds with the over-the-ear arch. And unlike Jabra sport buds I also have, they do not seal off my ears SO snugly that I'm overwhelmed with the sound of blood rushing around my head and my own pulse.

      The audio sounds fine. I don't pretend to be an audiophile and I don't listen to music much anymore -- mostly audiobooks, podcasts, and YouTube -- so I won't attempt to judge the full audio range of it. Also I pretty much never make voice calls on my iPhone so I don't know how well the mic would work.

      Tricky to measure the battery life, since there is no way to turn these buds off except to insert them into their case, at which point they start to recharge. If you just disconnect them and set them on the counter outside of their case, they remain "on" and the battery may be drained next time you go to use them, so don't do that. But once I drained the battery of the case itself, I could commence tracking battery life, as at that point the buds are turned off when in the case, and cannot recharge in a depleted case. When the case drains to 4% battery, it will slow down how much it charges the buds, but does gradually deplete to zero. But close enough to say that when the case gets to 4% it stops effectively charging the buds.

      On iOS, upon opening the case, you get a nice window that automatically pops on the iPhone or iPad giving the exact battery levels of case and buds (this however does not happen when the case is truly drained, though you can plug it into the charger for just a moment to power up the case and activate the battery window). One annoyance here: that automatic popup window only pops up about 60-70% of the time. Often it just doesn't appear, even though the buds are automatically connecting. And if the window does not automatically appear, there is no way to manually force it to appear -- aside from just shutting and then opening the case until it works (Maybe a software update will fix that someday.)

      So at that point of draining the case to turn OFF recharging, how long do the buds last on just their own batteries? I tracked this and my observation is about 8.5 hours (far better than my earlier Powerbeats ever performed).

      But unless you plan to wear the buds for a single extended session that doesn't much matter. I use mine for walking and working out, so I'm not often going to need them for more than 2 hours at a shot. What matters for me is the life of fully charged buds AND case together, using the case to charge the buds as needed til they both expend their batteries. I tracked this accumulated usage also, and found I got 26.0 hours of usage by the time both case and buds were depleted. Note -- the battery meter gets wonky at low charge. When I did finally get the buds down to 25% and stored them in drained case, the next day the buds were dead.

      Of course how I'm REALLY going to use the case is to plug it into the charger long before any battery gets low, so effectively battery life is just not going to be a concern with these buds, whereas my earlier Powerbeats required some attention: I had to be very careful to plug in those buds after every second walk or workout, and often did have the battery die mid-activity. These new Powerbeats Pros are just infinitely better in that regard and really no complaints.

      I'll come back and add one complaint: the case is pretty but is as slick as a wet bar of bath soap. It's even SHAPED like a bar of bath soap. I've dropped it multiple times, and I'm afraid I'll break it. So, I'll uglify this pretty case by slapping on some masking tape for a bit of friction. As with Apple's history of atrocious Apple TV remotes, sometimes Apple lets pretty design trump practicality.

      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.

      Great sounding on the high quality end, the buds and case feel quality. I like more rock alternative music and this type of music sounds great here, but definitely an A+ for hip hop rap bassy music. Fits great around your ear comfy and even if it's alittle over priced because it's beats still I'm very happy with my purchase, like I said the quality is high end 👍

      Produto chegou antes do prazo, devidamente lacrado.
      Veio com bateria quase cheia tanto dos fones quanto a case.
      Utilizei ele em corridas, academia, ligações, ele entrega o proposto.
      Poderiam dar uma leve melhorada nos graves.
      Bem confortável e em alguns momentos você não sente o fone.
      Tive o modelo antigo e é notável um salto considerável nesse novo modelo.
      Recomendo.

      My left ear is apparently oddly shaped because so many earbuds fall out of it, but not these bad boys. Very happy and impressed with the fit and feel of these bad boys. Basically, if you're in the market for some bad boys, consider these.
