ing beats, so you may have seen or heard them in various commercials like the one you just saw and I have to say that even though everyone in that actual commercial was Technically, I'm a professional athlete. I still think the word pro is overused in products like why are these the

pro? But that's a rant for another day at the end of the day these are just headphones so when I started using them I just wanted to know how. Good headphones, are they and are they worth it because they cost 250 so they

Now it's a spoiler. They are pretty good. I still think they're overpriced, but as wireless headphones they're pretty good. So you can think of these as Air Pods, but if Apple really cared about them staying in people's ears so easily, my favorite part about these Powerbeats Pro is how they're built, like they've never been any kind of thing. person who wears huge headphones except for work. going out and moving around and things like that, you have to have something lightweight, so that's when I prefer headphones and they just have to stay in my ears and be comfortable.

More Interesting Facts About,

Airpods never really fit in my ears. I wasn't as lucky as many others. guys but there are two main differences between these and the air pods that actually keep them in my ear so number one, similar to the jaybirds I've had in the past, these have a replaceable soft touch ear tip on which you can put different sizes on, so instead of just having hard plastic, one size fits all, these are soft to the touch and fit pretty well and then number two, this piece that basically goes over and around the ear and then you hold it comfortably to hold the headphones and these, I mean, you can get them.

The kind that sticks in your ear up here or there, I actually really like them. The first pair of headphones I used a lot in high school also had these and they don't come off, so overall I like them. The design I bought them in black, so they are all matte black sweat proof plastic of course, and the clamping force, although tight, is not too tight, uh, and the sign of any good pair of headphones is that you can use them for a long time and after a while you just forget that you are using them, that's okay, they also differ from

airpods

in a couple of not so good aspects, the first is this case, maybe it seems a small case and I'm the one holding it. in my hand but this is a huge case, I mean I guess I love that they include a matte black protective hard case with built in battery and charging, there is a little light on the outside of the case and there is a pair button. inside, that's all great, but this really makes me really appreciate the

airpods

and their super small wireless charging case, of course the airpods are smaller, but the airpods case can actually fit easily in your pocket , the beats case just doesn't, so sometimes that's a big problem.

If you know how to walk and you just don't have a bag, if you have a gym bag you can throw it in there, but if you don't have it, this is not good in the pocket and then the case only charges through lightning. so there's no USB type C or wireless charging so even with all this space and even putting them in the case there was this movement that for some reason I never got used to obviously the Airpods you just drop them in there and there are magnets and it's super. Easy, these also have magnets and you can see the pins, but it's not as smooth, you have to get the angle right.
I don't know, maybe it's just me, but the best difference between these and the Air Pods is the actual button, so the number. one, they actually sound better, yeah, you know, they have a little bit of bass, but I mean, come on, what did you expect? They are rhythms. I'm not looking for a flat sound signature. They are fun headphones that sound good. seal that you can create with the rubber tip in your ear plus the holding force on the side and they don't come off. They're a good, rich-sounding pair of headphones, but then, number two, the actual physical buttons that they have, there's no touch points, they're real. buttons, so on the right ear the Beats logo is a button and that can be your play pause of course, double tap for the next song, triple tap for the previous one and above each earbud is a control volume, so this is better than voice control. than sliding your finger on the side panels of the headphones, it's simple and easy, the normal volume control is not overly designed, I love it, of course, if you still want to use voice control, you can have the h1 chip to that you can do a little hey siri action if you have an iPhone and they will still respond to that, sorry for activating someone's homepod if anyone still has homepods lying around, but anyway that brings us to a couple of ways that these They are similar to airpods, by the way, I am comparing them to airpods. because well, Apple bought Beats, so now Beats are Apple headphones, but also because they are the most popular headphones that everyone has, so the powerbeats pro have the h1 chip, which means they do that sweet instant pairing with an iPhone or simply. regular bluetooth pairing with any android phone, like the airpods, and there is also an auto play pause when you take them out of your ears and put them back in, they will also do the siri voice command if you like that or if you are in a an Android phone, you can long press the Beats logo to activate Google Assistant or whatever assistant you use and then the battery life is just as good, so luckily eight more hours of playback easily, it has auto standby if you leave them when they are not on.
The case can last me a week without charging if I start with the battery and case full and there is also fast charging, so if they are dead you can leave them in the case for about five minutes and it gives you over an hour of listening time, so it's pretty attractive so the airpods 2 are already pretty expensive at $160 but like i said these are $250 for a pair of powerbeats pro so while they are better than the airpods yeah especially for someone like me. I still don't know if I can say they're worth $250. I guess if you absolutely have to have a completely wireless device, you know, there are no wires between the headphones, then you know, I guess it makes sense, these are some of the best, especially if you're an athlete, if you need them to be sweat resistant , you need them to stay in your ears while you move a lot, you need headphones for exercise.
I wouldn't blame you if you had them, you'll probably be very happy with them, but just because they're so expensive, I feel like you can easily recommend something I've used in the past, the jaybird x4, they have a cable between them but they're super light, great durability battery-powered, sweat-proof, they stay in my ears very well, and they cost between 100 and 110 dollars, so I'll leave links to the alternative things I'm talking about right under the like button, as well as links to the beats, but I think the price is the only thing that holds them back in general.
The Apple stamp is very evident on the powerbeats pro from the h1 chip to their very high price, but overall there isn't much negative, there isn't much bad to say about these so I'll give them credit for the fact that they really did a good pair. of headphones um and they live up to the ads so that's good too no regrets I think I just recommended a couple of beats on video thanks for watching I'll see you guys in the next one peace.
