Love them!
I had to try them, the Powerbeats Pro, and here is what I found. First off, I have tried many of the Bluetooth wireless ear buds. The JBL wireless, sounded good (not great) had good fit (not great) a decent pair of earbuds but the cord that tethered them together was always in the way or hung up on my shirt, collar or even skin. I then tried the Jaybird x3, sounded great. But possibly the worst earbud I have ever worn. Back is heavy (probably because of larger drivers) combined with flimsy ear wings? Anyway, I couldn't run or workout for a minute without them becoming dislodged, falling out or constantly needing adjusting. Great Sound, Awful fit.
Now to the Powerbeats Pro… They ARE VERY COMFORTABLE, I'm not sure who or how they were reported to be uncomfortable??? They are very light, and very secure in your ear without any pinching pressure. I have run, worked out and done CrossFit wearing them. They are secure and comfortable, other than the sound I forgot they were there. Very Impressed!! As for the sound... They are good, crisp and clear, but not full and rich like I expected from Beats. I would like a touch more bass and you just don't get it. You would think with this much hardware on your ear they could include a deeper bass. Anyway, the sound is still really good. As an interesting comparison, my son has the Air Pods. We worked a little bit and were able to play the same song on his Air Pods and my Powerbeats Pro. We each wore one Air Pod and one Powerbeat Pro. We both agreed... there was NO difference in the sound. Leading me to think they use the same drivers for both, probably to save $$ during production.
Anyway, from my experience with other earbuds, I would highly recommend the Powerbeats Pro, the sound is crisp and clear, the ear bud is light and comfortable and they are secure and stay where they are suppose to. I really love these! Would have given 5 stars but the lack of Bass was the detracting factor.
Hope that helps with your decision.Read full review
