"For Ultras I run with one in ear + one in pocket, and swap when the battery goes flat. For 10+ hour events I will carry the case and charge on the go ... turn off the PowerBeats HRM and increase battery life"

"I got the Powerbeats 2 but they sound rubbish, worst than the fits pro which are much older. ... Unacceptable for the price."


"they took a step back in sound quality imo ... a lot of people think fit pro sounds better and I agree ... I’ve tested both back to back."


"there isn't really any bass that I can feel ... so it don't really live up to it's name Powerbeats"

"Man I love those things but the charging gets all jacked up. If they aren’t sitting perfectly they won’t charge."

I tend to lean on ones with loops that go over the ear because my ear holes are small, too. I struggle with buds because they tend to fall out. Last gen Powerbeats work pretty good although they’re noise isolating not noise cancelling, but I hear the current gen is noise cancelling. Epic Air Sport by JLab is pretty good and are noise cancelling I have QC ultras but don’t like the bud format. You may want to look at the new Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. I don’t own them and they’re not noise cancelling but they’re more like an ear cuff and obviate the conversation about ear opening size

Ditto, I’ve had my PowerBeats since they came out. Very secure, sound quality is good enough for running. For training I run with both in. For Ultras I run with one in ear + one in pocket, and swap when the battery goes flat. For 10+ hour events I will carry the case and charge on the go, or just swap to another pair of headphones at the aid-station with bag drop. Siri integration is great for pause/skip commands, plus I can listen and reply to Messages on the go too, obviously only valid for iPhone users. Heart rate function on the newest PowerBeats is a bit of a waste of time for most ultra runners, as you’ll have a wrist or chest HRM. So just turn off the PowerBeats HRM and increase battery life. Case of the newest is smaller - so that’s a plus.

Had the beats fit prosand really enjoyed them. Got the power beats 2 and I like them more. As they don’t fall out when I’m randomly moving about Or if I take off my shirt. Also it probably won’t work well but like how i can probably take these snowboarding and listen to music with out fear of it falling out like beats fit pro. I don’t care too much about sound quality bc everything sounds muddy compared to my work headphones. And imo th beats fit pro sound similar to the powebeats 2. It just really depends on your use case and I prefer the security for gym, running and possibly other sports

what are the shokz like in terms of being on video conference and phonecalls? I've found the powerbeats 2's terrible in these contexts - people often can't hear what i'm saying and i don't know whether it's a software thing on google meet or the micrphones on the powerbeats...

r/beatsbydre • I just dropped a full review of the Powerbeats Pro 2, which I have been using since March, actually. I'm actually shocked that they sound worse than the AirPods Pro 2. What do you guys think? https://youtu.be/PinSBK8NtiI ->

None of them work! I bought 3 flex from ATT last month. All did not charge. I bought PB2 eBay. No charge and 2 PB brand new believe it or not. One worked one didn’t.

I had them for almost five years. They went through the washer and dryer several times—never an issue. Sadly, now the left bud isn’t working as well anymore and is making a weird noise. I'm desperately searching for another pair I’ll love for running but haven’t found one yet. I tried the new Powerbeats 2 (they sucked) and am currently trying the Beats Fit Pro. I do like them, but after 50 minutes of running, my ears start to hurt due to the wingtip. The new Jabra Elite 8 didn’t work for me like the 75T did—they didn’t stay in place, and I feel like they created more of that vacuum feeling in my ear canals. So...PLEASE ...SUGGESTIONS? I'm looking at the Soundcore Sport X20, but it seems like they stop working after a few months from some reviews? I can't use open ear ones, since I need to block the noise from the gym when running on the treadmill. Treadmill runners - please help.

Powerbeats. Wireless with ear hooks so I don’t worry about losing them.

look if your ear really fits usual headphones. my ear looks different I can't "hook" headphones in, so they will fall out. I tend to use shokz, power beats or simple JBL charge with thingies over the ear.  I tried clip style, but I thought they are uncomfortable.
