amazon Powerbeats Pro reviews
The price is quite expensive, but what Apple’s Beats-branded headphones bring will make each fastidious user feel that Powerbeats Pro is worth the money. After being acquired, it seemed that Apple had abandoned this Beats brand when there was not much development, but with the launch of Powerbeats Pro, it once again affirmed the name Beats in the music industry.
At around $250, it’s relatively expensive for a wireless headset; what you get from it is worth the money. Since Apple acquired the Beats brand, Powerbeats Pro has been the most invested and quality headset. With Powerbeats Pro, both Apple and the engineers at Beats have spent a lot of time on the brand’s first true wireless headset.
Bonus point
– Extremely comfortable and stable in the ear, even during intense workouts
– Big soundstage compared to a wireless headset
– Rich sound and satisfying bass
– Water and sweat-resistant
– Good battery life
Minus point
– Big headphone case
– Treble sound causes fatigue when listening for a long time
– No wireless charging or USB-C
– Attractive design
Right from opening the box, you will have to laugh because the case of Powerbeats Pro is very big. The Powerbeats Pro headphones themselves aren’t too big, but the rechargeable case is big enough to fit four AirPods inside. It is impossible to tuck into the pocket of a pair of jeans and force you to put it in a bag/backpack with this size. But on the positive side, the battery life of Powerbeats Pro is very good.
About the design of the headset: “subtle,” that’s what the writer described. It still has a long bar shape to accommodate the battery, but an ear-loop fixation will make the Powerbeats Pro stable to wear even during intense activity. This earpiece is made of soft, comfortable material by Apple to protect your sensitive ear cartilage.
With an ear-hugging, snug fit and especially the Powerbeats Pro comes in a wide choice of sizes. However, you will first find it difficult to remove the Powerbeats Pro headphones from your ears because of this design. Especially for those who wear glasses which have a habit of taking off their glasses to relax their eyes.
Targeting users who play sports and exercise with high intensity, equipping the physical buttons for Powerbeats Pro is a great and smart thing from Apple. The signature “b” button allows music control to listen/receive calls, and the upper volume button is a lifesaver for those who often have sweaty hands and cannot use touch. In addition, with Apple’s H1 chip inside, Powerbeats Pro will also have Siri always on and waiting for you to command.
In terms of connectivity, I thought that Powerbeats Pro would support Android devices not as well as other Apple products, but on the contrary, it worked very smoothly. As the author of the article describes: “The connection of Powerbeats Pro with my Pixel 3 XL is completely error-free, with no disconnections or flickering. The Powerbeats Pro has the longest range of any wireless headset I’ve used.”
The Powerbeats Pro headphones give up to 9 hours of continuous listening time in terms of battery life. That is a huge battery life, not to mention that according to Apple, using the Powerbeats Pro and recharging with the case will give a total time of 24 hours. That’s more than enough for those with high usage needs, but it doesn’t have wireless charging and USB-C, so that it might be a bit inconvenient.
Relatively many advantages, but Powerbeats Pro still has some points that are not good. The first is about its soundproofing ability, it can still eliminate acceptable noise, but when going to places with loud sounds such as train stations, major roads, it is still audible. The second is that the treble of Powerbeats Pro is quite high, it will help your songs become more attractive, but if listening for a long time or relaxing in quiet places, it is an annoyance. The bass of Powerbeats Pro is very typical of the Beats series, satisfying, powerful, and very good. However, perhaps the most suitable is still listening to vibrant music to exercise and play sports.
To summarize about Powerbeats Pro, the price is relatively high compared to a wireless headset, and you have many cheaper options. But the Powerbeats Pro will offer a very good connection for iOS and Android; a true Beats sound quality, a waterproof design, comfortable wearing, and long battery life. Targeted for active users in sports and exercise, ordinary users can still make good use of Powerbeats Pro.
