The original Powerbeats Pro had horrifyingly terrible connectivity issues for so many people. And unilateral charging issues were one is always dead and one is always charged. Did they fix that?
i have zero trust on MKBH now , it feels evident now suddenly he is off on Apple products and Suddenly Pro on Trash Products, I agree Apple is not producing Great products like it use to but tht doesnt mean others are doing new innovations , the earbuds he is promoting are equal trash , cmon
I’ve used my old Powerbeats pro on my motorcycle and hit 90miles a hour… the beats didn’t even move. On spirited rides in my hometown where there’s no traffic and I don’t want to wear a helmet I wear the beats. Not sure if I want to upgrade cuz I’d like the new ones but don’t know if I need all the features
Would you consider the fit to be semi open ear like the airpods or are they more in ear like airpod pros? You mentioned vented so that seems very semi open ear but they also have the sound quality closer to the pros, so i dunno
The only thing I like better about my AirPods pro 2s is that the case is smaller. The Powerbeats pros beat them basically every other way. Probably wont buy these for a while but eventually will upgrade.
Only winners click like. 🎉🎉🎉
im getting some! thanks
Does it have Apple’s best chip?….
Thanks for analyzing. Great lighting btw
Did they increase bass? The first gen had almost zero bass. I got the Anker Sport X20s instead because they have mega bass
Damn they got the H2 chip?? Game changer
I have the 1st gen Powerbeats pro and my biggest issue with it is the charging, the earbuds doesn’t always charge when it’s connected to the magnetic pins, wish beats made a better design for charging cuz they r my go to headphones for the gym
I love that Apple is forced to implement usb-c in their devices now!
Ive bought all previous versions and they all let me down . They dont stand up to sweat that well. But I have android so im biased
recommending these over Jabra Elite 8 Active (gen2) for overall + workout earbuds is crazy…
Just bought them!!! Amazing! They are Air Pod Pro’s that stay on! and are so comfortable! and so light! Finally! they stayyyy onnnnnnnnn. Lesssssss GrOw!!! 🏆👨🍳🎩⛑🦾⚔🛡🏹🦉🚀
I believe Powerbeats pro are still a better choice for people who wear glasses. The new design doesn’t seem to cater to them
What everyday 2 hour workout and don’t need changing for month ? I think apple announced 45 hour battery life what the told 😂 please don’t make people fools
I loved the first version of Power Beats then I upgraded to the power Beats Pro (love and still love these besides nobody can here me when I talk on them) which is why I was excited when these came out since there was an upgraded mic and now noise cancelling. I would walk around Las Olas and toggle to see if the noise cancelling was even on.. I could hear everything (I even switched ear bud sizes) I wish these were better. Be weary of the YouTube videos you see. These are not it If you value noise cancelling. I still love beats.. I will be going back to the Beats fit pro.
I’ve literally bought 2 pair of the olds one. Had an issue with battery on old one. Other than I love these! So happy I get to upgrade
I kinda hate that the AirPod pros don’t stay in my ear but it’s hard to go and spend another 200 dollars for it.
Ah man… I have the first gen for basically since launch and have been my go to for workouts. I wish they had the same color in Gen 2 but I’m not complaining completely…
Okay, I have 2 different types of beats and my AirPods Pro’s are better than both
How are they with pairing with Apple TV?
That find my app is a LIE ECUZ I lost my BEATS fits pro CASE WIT EARBUD IN IT and I couldn’t find it ! FIND MY just gives me a general area of where I lost them… I have JBL LIVE BEAMS AND I LOST EARBUD AND FOUND IT FROM MY APP BCUZ THE EARBUDS HAVE DEEPING SOUND
How are they for phone calls?
I’ve had issues with a couple of pairs in terms of the charging. They charge at different rates or sometimes it takes awhile before I get one to charge. It’s almost like at times it doesn’t latch on just right to the charging station.
Getting the purple color for sure!! I have the 1st generation in black and they are the best for the gym
I have been waiting for these for a long time now!
1OO% they are the best but….. THEY CAME OUT WAAAAY TOO L A T E 😖
I wonder if they fixed the button issues that were occurring while on a flight? The volume and task buttons would get stuck due to the cabin pressure and would remain that way for a day or two.
5:50 I’m waiting for the time when you guys will add an actual plane interior and plane seat in your studio to actually test this 🤣
Like this if you’re a future legend. 💛💛💛
Just got a pair myself. Love them except getting some hissing sounds when in transparency mode…. maybe it’s the model I have?
Amo mis Beats Fit Pro. Están más discretos que estos y no se mueven para nada.
Probably the best selling headphones in the world because they were around for 5 years. No AirPods model has that much time on the market.
1. Whether they are best-selling headphone in the world is maybe not the interesting or verifiable claim…? To me – the fact that it (probably) confirms that they are the *best-selling APPLE headphone* is the headline? *
2. I loved, loved my v1 Power Beats pro for battery life, audio quality, security – BUT after about 1 year the charging contact in case became super unreliable. Even with careful cleaning…. Hope that is corrected in this version!
* (since they def. have all the sales data on their own hardware)
I’ve Been Watching Reviews For These & Seen So Many People Say “I’ll Rather Watch Your Video Then MKBHD” I Had To Come See Whats So Bad About MKBHD😭😂🤷🏽♀️
I had the first gen powerbeats pro since launch…. and they are exactly what i wanted, but they were soooo annoying to charge. I can’t tell you how many times I set them in the case and one wouldnt connect properly so when I came back to them, only one of the earbuds was charged. I sure hope they fixed this with the next gen so that the charging connectors definitely connect when you put them in the case.
I have the original pros, battery life is like 7 hours and wears them all the time.
wear eyeglasses then tell me if these are any good with the ear hooks
Mine arrive today. Super excited
Hey, you need to check out what the sports training reviewers are saying about Beats earbuds. A total fail when it comes to the heart rate monitor compaired to Garmin, and the iPhone pairing is a disaster. Add to that it only pairs with one thing at a time, you can’t listen to music when the heart monitor is active if you are using an iPhone, apparently. Go check out the various reviews. Apparently works great with Android (?)
From my own experience, powerbeats Pro is awful! I had some problems with the left one and after two years their battery died even though I didn’t use them often. Their battery lifecycle was horrible! I never recommend buying Powerbeats Pro, it is a waste of money!
Excellent review !
I have an iPhone and Apple Watch but strangely, I prefer the buds Pro three from Samsung for my earbuds to me. They’re more comfortable they fit in my ear better they don’t seem to pop out as much the noise canceling and sound quality. Overall on them is just better than the AirPods I had and have tried
No these Powerbeats pro are so hard to get
Can you use listen to music from your iPhone and monitor your heart rate with the gym equipment paired at the same time?
Great simulation for the airplane steady state noise and turning on ANC!
Wish they would change the case material. My only gripe with my beats. The case is so damn slippery.
