vApple just got REKT by… themselves - Powerbeats Pro Review #Helpful Post

aybe it's because the Beat's brand has

been slapped on so many overpriced

headphones that were just too heavy on

the base but we were genuinely surprised

when the power beats pro turned out to

be good and not just a little good like

these might be the most recommendable

product from beats since they were

acquired by Apple in 2014 now they are

still on the expensive side at two

hundred and forty nine US dollars but

given how well these perform that might

not be unreasonable now I'm not ready to

say these are the best wireless earbuds

on the market but I'm also not going to

say that they aren't especially if

you're a particular kind of person

honey is a free web browser extension

that will find you the best promo codes

on most shopping websites like Amazon

eBay and more get it today at join

honeycomb slash LTTE so let's talk

design right off the bat you'll notice

that the case for these earbuds is huge

like I mean if other wireless earbuds

cases are meant to be small enough to

fit in your pocket this thing is meant

to be used as a as a self-defense weapon

to make your speedy escape like I mean

we get it the case has to be big enough

to accommodate the powerbeats ear hooks

but the end result is still something

that will fit more comfortably in a gym

bag than in a pocket that is to say

unless you're keeping the cargo pants

dream alive the case has a Lightning

port for charging in the back no USB C

or wireless charging here despite its

heft and a single battery indicator LED

on the front then inside there's a

pairing button and the power beats

themselves nestled in the cradle like a

pair of adorable little babies waiting

to get their trust funds so they can

afford power beats pros now if you're

familiar with the original power beats

you'll notice that these look much more

streamlined and Apple II but unlike a

lot of Apple products the power beats

Pro do not sacrifice function for form

the beats logo itself even is actually a

clickable multifunction button there's a

sensor accelerometer combo to determine

when you're wearing them and there's

even a volume rocker on both earbuds

which personally I think is pretty

freakin awesome as for the fit the ear

hooks are adjustable and they work

completely as advertised Riley who wrote

this episode could not get them off no

matter how hard he tried and believe me

she tried I'm trying to oh my head hurts

and the power beats include four sizes

of interchangeable rubber ear tips

that's one more than the Samsung Galaxy

buds and four more than the air pods and

they also have an IP X for sweat and

splash resistance rating which should

come in handy for the sweaty boys out

there

like Riley apparently and get sweaty you

will because the powerbeats pros have

enough battery to feel an impressive 9

hours of music listening time that's

nearly double the air pods battery life

with an extra 15 hours in the charging

case if you need a quick top-up five

minutes of charging will get to one and

a half hours of listening time while 15

minutes will get to four and a half

hours and if you happen to put down the

power beats pros outside of the charging

case they will actually very slowly

drain over the course of about 30 hours

and that amazing battery efficiency is

made possible partially thanks to the

same Apple h1 chip found in the new air

pods also partially due to the fact that

they're just bigger

I guess size does matter but what are

they like to use

well the pairing process is the same as

the air pods so you crack them open

within a few inches of nioh s device and

on screen prompts to connect will

automatically appear along with the

battery percentage for both the case and

the earbuds themselves also like the air

pods the process pairs the power beats

to every device assigned to your Apple

account pretty sweet as for non Apple

devices well the process is the same as

it would be for connecting any other

Bluetooth accessory but sadly and this

is again like the air pods there doesn't

appear to be any way to check battery

life on android without downloading a

third-party app even though the

percentage of literally every other

modern pair of bluetooth earphones

displays directly in the Bluetooth

settings I guess that's just apples

little way of saying should've bought an

iPhone after pairing putting the power

beats pros in your ears is a touch more

complicated than other wireless earbuds

because of the ear hooks but I think you

guys are clever enough that you

shouldn't have too much trouble after

the first couple of times and these

hooks also save you from having to push

the ear tips super deep into your ear

canals to prevent them from falling out

something that you can feel the need to

do with non hooked wireless earbuds if

you don't have an absolutely perfect fit

once they're in the multifunction button

can pause and play music with a single

skip forward and backwards with double

and triple clicks respectively and

summon your voice assistant of choice

with a long press bt-dubs like the new

air pods the power beats pros also have

a theory support so far so good then but

what about audio quality actually

they're really good true two beats

tradition the power beats pros pack a

lot of bass and arguably too much bass

and it does end up taking some character

out of the sound with the mids and highs

sounding a bit tinny especially when

compared directly to the sennheiser

momentum true Wireless but for speaking

honestly that really says more about the

quality of the Momentum's than it does

about these not to mention that the

Momentum's are $50 more we'll have a

harder time staying in your ears during

strenuous exercise and suffer from a

weird battery drain issue at idle now

let's move on to sound isolation the

power beats pros are better than the air

pods in this regard but not as good as

other wireless earbuds that we've tested

and this seems to be at least partially

due to the very air pods like bulbous

head that they have that sits in the

Concha of your ear so it's a bit of a

double-edged sword because on the one

hand this should make them more

comfortable for people who don't like

that deep ear penetration but it means

that a lot of outside noises do manage

to get in particularly in noisy

situations like riding the bus so they

still sound pretty darn good but don't

be surprised if you have to turn the

volume up a little bit to drown out the

grunts of the loudest cave people in the

gym which I guess segues us perfectly

into some other trade-offs as we said

the on device controls are awesome and

like the air pods the music will pause

when you take one ear bud out but the

power beats pros lack an ambient sound

mode like the one on the Galaxy buds and

Sennheiser Momentum's now you could

argue that they don't need it thanks to

their poor sound isolation

sure but I'm not sure that I entirely

agree with that also there's no

dedicated app with options like EQ

customization or a find my earbuds

feature and they don't show up in the

Find My iPhone app like the air pods do

in fact the only customization options

available are in the Bluetooth settings

on iOS where you can toggle automatic

ear detection and whether the onboard

mic defaults to the left or right earbud

or switches automatically honestly this

lack of customization really makes me

wish that the Sennheiser momentum true

Wireless a great sounding

platform-agnostic option didn't have

their fatal battery drain flaw though

with that said they're actually sending

us a new pair to see if that improves so

let me know in the comments if you want

to see a full review of those in the

meantime the power beats pros even at

249 are an excellent option particularly

for use while exercising

they are truly wireless so no tether

they won't fall out of your ears there's

sweat resistant the sound quality is

solid and the on device controls and

great battery life for truly wireless

earbuds are sweet bonuses so if you're

on that daily gym grind you'll be happy

with the power beats pros but that said

if you're more of a daily walking to the

bus end eating in the food court grind

kind of person you'll probably be

happier with a different pair of

wireless earbuds and a bit more money in
