Zero complaints about the Powerbeats Pro. No comparison for workouts. Better looking too. Couldn’t care less about wireless charging because the battery is great. Not one disconnection with daily use.

Connection issues. Random unpairing and constant resets needed

How do we find out when the second generation of PowerBeats Pro comes out? I returned mine mainly because of the connection issues but when that's fixed I plan to buy them.

Case fits in any pocket on every pair of pants I own. It’s not the ideal size but I have no problem bringing it wherever

I had the connection issue on my first gen airpods i just bought the powerbeats pro but they connect way better and quicker they work everytime i put them in my ears where as my airpods would disconnect and not want to work

For some reason I only hear Chris from Family Guy, when listening to this reviewer.

Anyone else see the weird glitches at the bottom of the screen in the intro? Great video btw

I've had these for about 4 years now. My phone tells me they are fully charged, they just lose connection after about 10 minutes and make the noise that they have no battery. Constantly getting worse.

I'm little bit stuck to make my decision regarding buying iPad mini 5 vs iPad 2018 will both support 4k in YouTube

I am struggling with the idea of the connection issues everyone is reporting. Shouldn't the connection be fine since it has the same H1 chip as the second generation airpods? Do airpods have these same connection problems? I just find it odd considering the chip is identical or am I missing something? I am not saying there isn't an issue just trying to understand.

Can it use both earphones (together) to make/receive calls? I owned a pair of JayBird Run and only worked on one side for calls. Wonder if this is the case for the PowerBeats Pro.

People want better sound and noise cancellation but at the same time want to have better sound pass through. Ridiculous. Can’t have both

[tejasmadhukar]

I love Apple adding W series chips to other products. Just think what you could do with that killer integration

[backyardfishin]

Actually you can use it in find my iphone

[gryphon]

I like the prospect of these but I won’t buy them until Apple comes back with a fix for the connection issues.

[Sebastiancrowe]

Apple lost me right there with the lightning cable integration.. and I own a lot of Apple products.

[mikeseibert]

I received my Powerbeats Pro today and am very disappointed with them. I like my music for the gym to be loud and these are not. Big disappointment!

[stevecoronado]

They lasted me three years and now they no longer work. Not worth the money

"Sound stage wide and rich" ? It seems like you've never tested REAL headphones.
