GREAT Headphones!!
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5These headphones are really great, with one exception. (*Now I'm no expert in the details of the capabilities of different technologies.) The one problem I seem to have with 2 different pairs of these headphones is with the actually connectivity via Bluetooth. If you keep your phone in a pants pocket or maybe in a backpack, the connection seems to drop in & out with simple turns off your head.

Powerbeats 3 Wireless Earbuds
|Posted .Features
Quality2 out of 5Value2 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I have purchased 2 sets of PowerBeats 3 wireless earbuds during the last 2 years and I'm deeply disappointed in the quality. The first pair developed a problem with one of the earbuds covers became disengaged from the base. Best Buy was not supportive in accepting my return for a free replacement because I had purchased them a year earlier. I purchased a new set in October 2019, and I have experienced the same problem 13 months later. Luckily,the sales agent encouraged me to purchase a two-year insurance replacement coverage. Now I'm forced to get another pair of PowerBeats 3 earbuds for the replacement. Considering the repeated problems with PowerBeats earbuds, I would rather get another brand. I would not recommend the Power Beats 3 Earbuds.

Sound great but.....
|Posted .Owned for 1 year when reviewed.Features
Quality2 out of 5Value1 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Battery life, Price, Sound qualityCons mentioned:MaterialThese sound amazing but one major flaw at least in my pair. When i used them to work out after a few mins they would shut off all the sudden, and thats it u got no tunes in the middle of your workout :( I’m thinking because of sweat they are not as moisture resistant as advertised. They work fine in my office and never shut off, going on 1.5 yrs battery still holds a decent charge. They comfortable in my ears and don’t hurt. It connects perfect on my iphone as well. It may lack some of its build quality since now some plastic parts are starting to fall apart and brake. So not sure if the price is worth it for what they last (for me 1.5 years) unless you super baby them. PROS: - Great sound - Comfortable to wear - excellent iphone connection CONS - sudden shut off - built quality - price

Have to replace.
|Posted .Owned for 1 year when reviewed.Bought this about 15 months ago. I’m the only one using it and one side is already broken. The wire is exposed in the part you have to pace in your ear. For the cost of this, I should have at least gotten more usage.

Asked by Chimp.

Q: QuestionDoes this work well for answering calls and the background noise not being heard by the person on the other end of the phone? I’m looking for one that cancels out the background noise so the caller doesn’t hear anything besides my voice on the phone.
Asked by PlainJane.
- A:Answer Yes you can answer calls and if the noise is minimal it will be cancelled but if extremely loud and close to your call it will be heard. These are great for workouts and answering when you can’t use your phone.
