What owners report

  • “I've been using my original powerbeat pros going on 4years and they still perform great. [...]”

    after 4 yearsView on YouTube
  • “[...] You instead proved the point I was interested in, the fact to being glued to the ears and having a decent sound quality. [...] I don’t think I’m going to use the spatial audio or the heart rate monitor. I was worried to buy the airpods pro and buying that oddly ear tips to mimic this, I accept the fact that I’m not getting all the features and the better sound of airpods pro but these are right for me, which the most thing I care about is not losing them while working out and having the noise canceling is really a plus”

  • “I've had my powerbeats pro since Dec. 2020, I've dropped the case more times than I can recall, they've sunk to the bottom of a swimming pool, and they still work, left one has less than an hour for battery life, but honestly, I can't complain”

  • “Testing out some new headphones this morning. I bought some Beats Powerbeats Pro 2’s. Not enough bass though and no EQ to boast it.”
