Beats Powerbeats Pro Totally Wireless Earphones - Black MV6Y2PA/A review

The best truly wireless earphones for iOS users and a serious temptation to everyone else

Beats Powerbeats Pro review

Beats has found the perfect balance with the Pros. The hook design makes them the perfect everyday earphone for all manner of activities, whether it’s the commute or park run in any conditions, to an overly sweaty gym session. All-day wear threatens to become uncomfortable, but that’s the price pay for the snug and stable fit. There are flaws – the case is too big, materials could be better, and heaven knows why they aren’t USB-C. Apple’s input is so evident – the beauty of the Powerbeats setup is in its simplicity and the overall user experience is a breeze. Make no mistake, this is the best pair of earphones or headphones yet to carry the Beats moniker and not for the overly bassy reasons the brand made its name in the first place. It’s all rather mature when it comes to audio quality. You can still bring the noise when you want to, other genres to get far more sensitive treatment than on previous products. There are more affordable options available. We love RHA’s TrueConnect at just £150, but the extra functionality justifies the cost. Dre’s buds are still representing gangsters all across the world, still hitting them low ends, girl, but after taking time to perfect the beat they’ve finally shown some love for a far, far wider selection of music lovers.

AirPods may be the go-to for iPhone users, but the Powerbeats Pro are the better option for your Apple phone - particularly for active users. The earbuds are IPX4 sweat-resistant, provide a secure fit, and support AAC. Plus, you can listen for just shy of 11 hours before needing to charge them.

For me at personally, the AirPods are way more convenient. They fit into my life, and my pocket, much better than Powerbeats. I’ve never had any major issues working out with my AirPods, and I think they generally sound fine.
