Beats by Dr. Dre - Powerbeats2 Wireless Bluetooth Earbud Headphones - Black

After a shortage in the cord of my previous Beats purchase (Beats Tour 2.0) that I owned just over a year I was sceptical to give them another try. I have a iPhone and never liked the standard earbuds that come with them from Apple. They were just not meant for my ears as they would fall out more often than I'd like to remember. I always said my next pair would have to be wireless. No exceptions. After reading reviews after reviews I decided to purchase the White Beats Powerbeats 2. I've owned them for a couple weeks now and could not be happier. I'm on the Metro train to work every day (unfortunately) and needed my music to tune out all the nonsense on the train. These wireless earbuds fit comfortable and you don't feel them move your outer ear. They are lightweight and convenient. The sound is great. Though I wish they could be slightly louder. Maybe it's the songs. Some sound more louder than others. They pair very nicely with my iPhone 6S Plus. If you drop down the screen you can monitor the battery life which my other half can't appear to do with her Android for whatever reasons. Battery life is good for the few weeks I've been using it. Connection is excellent. I have had no issues at all so far. I would highly recommend these. I priced matched with Amazon ($143.00) to get them for much cheaper. I do feel $200 is asking a lot, but just price match or catch them on sale. I'm sure they will be a steal during the holiday season. Prior to buying these I bought the new Bose Ultra (wired) earbuds and returned them. The sound was very low even turned all the way up. Plus wired is played out. Wireless all the way. Might as well get them in style and great sound in Beats wireless Powerbeats2. The downside is I wanted a warranty, however now that Apple owns Beats you canonly get it through Apple Care. It wasn't optional to even get it with the purchase. I found that interesting.

I was a bit sceptical about buying these due to the negative reviews. Bought these when on sale at half price. Glad I did as once you have figured out the correct ear tip & fit, the sound is great. I almost gave up on these until I put on the largest ear tip and inserted them at an angle into my ear. Once you have a good seal & fit you will appreciate the great sound from them. Also they stayed in place just fine when working out. Just have a bit of patience with them!

Honestly I've tried several Bluetooth headphone over the years, including LG Tones, Motorola behind the neck headphones that were a solid piece and not a wire, and many others while working for verizon and then since then air picked up Jay Birds and they were horrible to get situated and stuck out to far. For motorcycle riding, for working out, and now just daily activities, I keep these Beats on nearly all day. I don't generally keep them in my ears all day, but hanging from my neck. My one down fall to them is that if you only have one in, while driving for example, they behind to fall on the opposite side and pull which can be annoying so I will keep both in. I would recommend these to anyone for sure.

Maybe I went into this purchase with all the wrong expectations. I own the most recent generation of Beats Studio Over-The-Ear and was expecting nearly the same performance in the Powerbeats2. Boy was that a wrong standard to use as they couldn't be more different! Whereas the Studio headphones have deep bass and an almost overly loud treble, the Powerbeats2 have a very clear treble level and a bass level that seems almost limited at maybe a 4 of 10 level setting. I know since they're in your ear you don't want to blow you eardrums, but I still would like to get what I've come to expect from the 'Beats' name. These are Beats-light at best! Couple that with the fact that the bluetooth cuts out (a lot) when I have my phone in my inner jacket pocket or my pants pocket and it's time to return these and try something else. PROS: * They look cool; I absolutely love the look and hate to return these * Very clear sound at a level that won't shatter your eardrums CONS: * Can't wear as a single headphone (with the other draped downward out of you ear) without resulting in an "anchor" feel that is continually tugging the other side out of your ear... very annoying feeling. * Deep bass is not a part of this design. Sound is clear but I'm sure other less expensive earbuds can give you a same or better sound (might try Bose next). * Tried with multiple devices and the bluetooth which is listed to have a 30' range, cuts out (sounds like a scratched CD skipping) when I put my iPhone in my pocket which couldn't be more than 2 feet away!

I am always a fan of Bose and never cared much for Beats because of the usual heavy bass. But I wanted a bluetooth headphones since I grew tired of having the long cord to drag everywhere. And for the most part, this headphone does the job. I really wish that the battery would last longer. It's supposed to last for 6 hours. I use it at work intermittently and by 3 or 4 PM, it usually runs out a battery and have to be charged. So 6 hours might be accurate. Because of this reason, I purchased Powerbeats3 because the battery on that headphone supposed to last for 12 hours. Unfortunately, the sound on Powerbeats2 is superior to Powerbeats3. Somehow, even when the volume is at max, the sound is not that loud in Powerbeats3, so I had to return it and keeps the Powerbeats2. What I am happy about this headphone is that the bass is not as heavy as other Beats headphones. But this is a headphone to use only in an environment with a moderate outside noise, like in the office, or at the gym. I wasn't expecting it to be like a noise canceling headphone, but I own Bose sound sport in-ear headphone. That headphone handles a noise inside an airplane better than Powerbeats2. In the end, the price is right and the sound is decent enough for the convenience of not having the cord. I use it mostly with iPhone 6 or my iPad Air and the bluetooth connectivity is excellent. It also comes with 3 extra earbuds. I love that it comes with a carrying case that should adequately protect the headphone when it's not in use.

We have 2 of these after going through many headphones, wireless n non blue tooth. A lot of earpieces are too big or don't fit well. These have great sound quality, fit comfortably and stay on no matter what we are doing. My son is "all about that bass" & loves his. I use mine as much for phone use as for music. Good battery life & play time. The carry case is secure & convenient when not in use. Many color choices with matching color case helps tell the sets apart. A little pricy but you get quality with it. Worth it.

I was really torn between buying these and the Skullcandy XTfree bluetooth ear buds. I didn't love the look of the Powerbeats very much, and thought that the Skullcandy's looked really cool. Reading reviews and doing some research, though, I decided that the Beats were probably the better option. So glad I made that decision. Some people have complained about the ear buds not holding up - I haven't had any problems at all. I wear them to workout at the gym, while running outdoors, at work and have even worn them while mowing the lawn. They're great for making phone calls too. I sweat a ton and haven't had any issues there. I usually charge them about 1x/week with several hour-long workouts and random listening in between each charge. Honestly, no complaints at all. I love these ear buds and they go with me everywhere.

These are a great multipurpose headphone. Stay on very well in the gym also for riding your bike or in other sports. Also the main concern besides the fit is how they sound.. They are very clear and are never on 100% volume due to the noise canceling they produce. Very pleased. Also own Beats Power2 wireless and Beats studio wireless as well. Huge fan
