Customer Ratings & Reviews

works super well, very happy with the purchase, would purchase again

Three months ago, I was in the market for a new pair of headphones. I looked at many different brands, styles, and price points. In the end I decided on purchasing the Powerbeats 3 by Beats. When I was in my teenage years, I purchased a pair of Bose over the ear headphones, and absolutely fell in love with high end, expensive headphones. This led me down a road of purchasing quality headphones for the years to come. I made my decision to purchase the Powerbeats 3 based on their build quality, sound quality, long lasting batteries, and exceptional Bluetooth range. The Powerbeats 3 are marketed as fitness headphones which means that one of their best qualities is that they will stay in your ears, no matter how much jumping, running, or moving around that you do. This is accomplished with a rubberized hook that extends up from the top of the headphones and wraps around your ears, essentially locking them into place in your ear canal. The buds are at an angle to the headphones, which make them fit into your ears comfortably, and at least in my ears make a solid seal which blocks out outside noise. I find that when I wear them even without any audio playing the ambient noises are greatly reduced in my ears. With music playing, I cannot hear the outside noises at all. A similarly rubberized band connects the two ear pieces, which I wear behind my neck. The built-in remote sits on the band just under your left ear, allowing for volume control, and moving on to the next track. The buttons are pronounced, and easy to use without being able to see them. On top of the left earbud is a flush power button that is easy to use and provides a satisfying melodic tone that informs you when the headphones are powered on and connected to your Bluetooth device. The Bluetooth range is exceptional as well, far outperforming the range of Bluetooth devices I’ve owned in the past. With the Powerbeats 3 I can leave my phone in my bedroom and walk throughout the downstairs of my home without losing signal. This equates to about 35 ft range, including through several walls. When I am working outside, I have been able to go up to 75 ft away line of sight without losing signal. Compared to the previous Bose headphones I owned, the Powerbeats 3 headphones have slightly decreased sound quality, but that is to be expected since they are different styles of headphones. The Powerbeats 3 have high amount of bass to them due to the battery powered drivers built into the headphones. I think this is due to them being classified as fitness headphones, as many people working out like to have loud, heavy bass music going to pump them up and motivate them to work harder. The audio isn’t drowned out by the base though, but rather has full, and rich sound that is just heavier on the bass side. The volume isn’t quite what I’d like it to be, as sometimes I’ve attempted to turn up the sound, and found it lacking at the top volume. This has only accounted for maybe 2 or 3 percent of the time I’m listening to them though. I often listen to piano music on these headphones while working on my homework, and find the piano sound full and rich, leaving my completely satisfied with the sound quality. One way that these headphones completely outclass much of their competition is with the battery life. While many of its competitors sport a battery life of around 6 hours, the Powerbeats 3 clock in at a whopping 12 hours, meaning I can go days without having to charge them. When needing to charge, they have a quick charge function that will give an hour of play time off only a 5 min charge. To charge the batteries completely takes approximately 1 hour. On the bottom of the left ear bud there is a micro USB slot for charging. Even though the charging port is left exposed and uncovered, the manufacturer claims that it won’t be damaged by sweat, rain, or moisture of any kind which is important for fitness headphones. Overall, I am a big fan of these headphones, and would definitely purchase them again. The superior build quality makes me believe that they will last for years to come, as long as I can keep them in my possession and don’t lose them. Although rarely on the quieter side, the sound quality is excellent, if not exceptional for the type of headphones they are. It is incredibly convenient to be able to leave my phone sitting in one place and be able to walk around my home, or the gym and be confident in the Bluetooth range. I would recommend these headphones for anyone wanting a pair of quality Bluetooth earbuds in the $100-$200 range.

Sound quality was terrible. I have a pair of Skullcandy earbuds I pain $30 for that blow these out the water.

Second pair of Beats and again did not disappoint. Love the ease of use and wireless while active.

These beats are the best earbuds I’ve ever used. They fit perfectly and they an comfortable.

Headphones are okay, not the best in sound, but definitely not the worst. I do prefer the Solo's to these.

I use these for everyday use. Wheather I’m going on a run or exersising in the gym. I love them!

This product is good for working out or shooting around working on your jump shot.

Looks great! Fits a little tight around my ears. Sound quality is good.

This was a birthday gift. He seems to enjoy them. They were suggested for use at the gym while working out.

Perfect for workouts and with changeable earbuds these fit well and stay put during gym time.

These headphones are great. The only issue is that they’re easy to lose. This is my 3rd pair.

Saved big money buying the blue version over black. Not sure why, but hey it was $50! Great purchase!

My daughter truly loves her beats. This is her first pair. Workd very well . Well given gift!
