    These Powerbeats are wireless and comfortable. I use them for gym workouts and the sound is great and charge lasts 12 hours. They charge quickly. The earpiece stays on no matter what kind of workout you do, aerobics or bicycling or weights. They play clearly from 20 plus feet away. I highly recommend this product.

    I purchased these earbuds when the price first dropped to clearance. They fit well and I never had an issue with them moving or falling out of my ears. They were fairly comfortable to wear. The sound quality for these earbuds are not worth the original $200 price tag. The sound is very thin with little treble and mid range frequencies but decent bass especially for earbuds. There was no good way to adjust the balance either so the listener is stuck with the sound these give. The battery life on these is sufficient enough to get through multiple one hour workout sessions. I only needed to charge mine once per week. Personally, I returned these after a couple of weeks not due to the sound quality, but because they kept disconnecting from my phone while my phone was in my pocket during outdoor walks. For some reason, my set of these earbuds just wouldn’t stay connected when my phone was in my pocket. There was one other time the earbuds disconnected from when I was listening or music that had softer sections. During those times the earbuds seemed to not recognize audio being played and went to standby/turned off. Overall, if you are looking for a set of earbuds that are decently comfortable for extended uses and will stay in your ears, this would be a good set to look into. The sound quality isn’t nearly as good as other earbuds I have heard but they are sufficient enough for workouts. At the clearance price of $89, these earbuds are a good buy. The issues with my set disconnecting from my phone was deal breaker for me but that might have been a faulty set. The set my brother uses (purchased at the same time of my purchase) have worked fine without disconnecting from his devices. Just be warned when considering these that disconnections with your phone in your pocket may occur.

    It's good, but a bit over priced.

    These headphones work really well, there is a bit left to be desired from the bass standpoint. If you do push them in your ears for a better seal, you will get more bass out of them. They are very clear and comfortable to use. I just think that they are priced a bit above their value. Give it 6 months and these will be 99.00 like the PowerBeats 2. The increased battery life over the 2's, is ultimately what you are paying for. I love the colors. I have the green. The larger ear plug options were a must for me but made a big difference in fit. Quite happy w/ the purchase. I might do a full review on TechieIO.com

    I wanted to get these new Powerbeats 3 from Best Buy, but unfortunately they aren't released yet, so I purchased them at a Apple retailer that had a pair in stock before the official release date to other retailers. I had the previous version and lost them. The major differences between these and the powerbeats2 is the battery. The new W1 Apple chip gives these 12 hours of playback. I use them for my commute to work on the metro train as well as walking/running. They sync effortlessly to my iPhone as well as my Nike Apple Watch. I can go out for exercise and leave my iPhone at home as these pair with the Apple Watch separately if you desire. The charging this time around as seen in the photo aren't covered up. They are exposed which can prevent annoyance getting to them with the cover in the previous model. They come with 4 different ear size tips, so there's no reason there's not one for everyone to fit in their ear comfortably. My only issue is the sound. It's just not loud enough (exactly like the powerbeats2) for my desire. I love them, but I wish they could be louder. I owned the "Beats by Dr. Dre Tour2" and loved the volume levels for them. I wish There was a app to make adjustments to not only the sound, but bass, tremble, etc. In the box they also come with a carrying case that's kinda cheap and not as quality in material as the last one. It doesn't even have a zipper. Just a small opening for you to figure out how you'll adjust to fit them in their. That was disappointing honestly. These are a everyday use for me and are worth is the price somewhat. $150.00 would have made more sense. They aren't perfect, but they get the job done. In addition, I like how you can view the battery life on the iPhone along with your Apple Watch. Last comment is the charge time itself. It's vastly fast to say the least. No time at all.

    Before getting this earphones I read a bunch of reviews on earphones in this price range and tried a few of them personally. I had trouble in having the earphones stay in place while normal walking. These are definitely the best earphones I have owned till date . The fit is perfect and the battery backup is awesome. The sound quality is really good and it has balanced bass and treble. Its not exactly like the other in-ear earphones but its more on the comfort side. Definitely would recommend it to anyone looking for good quality earphones .

    I am the type of customer to try to buy any "off brand" possibility there is out there. I had tried 3 different wireless headphones that were not "name brand" items, in the hopes of finding one that would work. After a long, irritating process, I decided caved in and bought these headphones and I wish I had just bought them in the first place. They are durable, the battery lasts forever ( as long as you remember to turn them off when you're done ) and they are very light weight. The reason I gave this product 4 stars is because it takes a little bit to find a comfortable position for the buds. Sometimes they are a bit uncomfortable and tricky to get in your ear, but my suggestion would be to test out ALL of the earbuds they give you, to ensure you are using the size that works best for you.

    Solid headphones and sound great. They come with a variety of ear piece options to help make for a secure fit and do well for running and other activities. I traveled and wore them for 10+ hours and they did not ever become uncomfortable. Again the sound good and the battery life is awesome. Just know that the battery life is so good bit comes at the expense of volume. I also use these when I mow my yard and that is the only time I wish they were a bit louder.

    Sound is great once you find the right fit for your ear. Cord at the back is barely noticeable. Battery life is amazing. Pretty comfortable although I don't think I could wear them for hours at a time.

    Just can't go wrong with sound quality of a pair of Beats, even with these wireless earbud models. I had the version prior to this model and it was good and lasted a couple of years before it began to show signs of wear. My only complaint was the amount of charge it held. Only lasted about 2 days, possibly 3 if I didn't go past the full 2 hours of gym time each of the 2 days. This newer model seems to be holding the charge longer 4-5 two hour sessions easy. Sound quality is just as great and love the wrap around ear type only because I cannot for the life of my keep a pair of earbuds in my ear when running without it. If they weren't so expensive I'd give it 5 stars.

    I've used these for my gym time routine, and for a bunch of other times as well. The sound is decent AND the bass is surprisingly good for earphones of this size. These are fairly comfortable as well. I can wear them for a good 2 hour period and my ears don't get the aching that you get from some of the other earphones. They have a little black slider on the earphone straps to tighten them up to your neck, so the cord won't flail around (the cord isn't THAT long though where this would even be an issue without it). All in all, I am pleased with these and look forward to getting a lot of mileage out of them.

    I really love my Powerbeats 3! I use them at the gym and almost everywhere! They sound really good and have amazing bass! Especially the sub bass! The battery life has lasted me a long time. I hadn't tested if they last 12 hours, but they can definitely last me a whole day if I charge them overnight each day. They also look cool, in my opinion which is another reason I got these. The best part about these for me is the fit! I tried them on, thinking they go deep into your ear canal, but they don't!! They fit similar to the Bose soundsport wireless! I really love that they don't go deep inside the ear canal because it hurts my ears and can pile earwax much easier. It is very rare to find a fit like these. The amount of bass these put out for the fit almost blew my mind when I first heard them! I also own the soundsport wireless and hadn't used them anymore after I bought these! The Bose sound really good and have good bass, I'm not gonna lie. But I really like the longer battery, the better looking design, and the more powerful bass that the Powerbeats have! Both headphones have about the same soundstage, so that was another good thing for me! I hope these last me a long time, because for now I won't be looking for any other headphones anymore (except maybe Powerbeats pro)! Peace!

    Connects very easily with iPhone, without having to go in settings, I really like that feature, the sound is excellent, but for $200 I did expect a little more bass, that’s the only reason I’m giving it 4 stars, if a heavy bass is not a must for you these are excellent headphones, They hold firmly around the ears, long battery life and they are lightweight so it’s very comfortable to wear

    My late night TV habit was disturbing my hub’s sleep. Big bulky headphones were out and I’ve never found earbuds that were comfortable. Decided to give Powerbeats 3 wireless a try. It was easy to sync with the receiver I bought with them but even MORE importantly I deliberately ‘mis-matched’ the buds and found a perfect fit! They are comfy and sound great. They also sync automatically with my iPhone,iPad, and Apple Watch. I just bought a second pair online for hubs.Now hew can watch sports on his iPad (we have FiOS) Another marriage saved by technology! LOL

    I’ve never reviewed a product before, so here it goes. I got them for my teenage son as constant headphone wearing is the thing and cordless is the way to go. He convinced me to buy these while on sale. They’re a quality product, easy to pair to your device, have a GREAT sound and from what I’ve seen, the battery life is exceptional (he wears them constantly). They are also comfortable to wear while hanging around the house or shooting hoops. I plan on getting a pair for myself. I didn’t give five stars because the charging cable is only about 4” long.

    I previously had the first gen of the Powerbeats and upgraded to these because one of the earbuds broke off. These are nice, same dependable fit and great sound. What I don’t like is the 3rd gen does not show the battery life on your iPhone (not sure if this is the case with android phones). Apparently there is a way to look the battery level, but I haven’t figured it out. I go to the gym 6 days a week for about an hour each time and the battery lasts all the way, I simply charge on Sunday and repeat. Overall great buy, got these on sale so even better.

    I tried several other earbuds trying to avoid the price of beats. The other earbuds were either uncomfortable or I didnt like the sound quality. I then decided to see if the hype was real and to my surprise it was. These beats are extremely comfortable and do not slide out during a workout. The sound quality is amazing with plenty of bass and the vocals are crispy clear. They come with different size earplugs and playing with these will give the right fit and make the acoustics better. Now stop reading reviews, purchase them and enjoy!!!

    Good Gym Headphones

    If you're looking for some good headphones for the gym, these are a great option. They are both Sweat and Water Resistant, meaning they won't get ruined after hard workout or after a run when raining. As far as sound they are good for Bluetooth sport headphones. I also have the Bose Sound Sport Wireless, and I would say they definitely have more bass than Bose SSW and more volume. As far as comfort they are good for a working out. Just make sure to find a good fit with the different size ear tips for them to stay in your ear comfortably. Unlike the Bose, expect these to block out noise a bit more. So that might be an issue for people who like to run outside and be aware of their surroundings, in that case go with the Bose or something else. Battery life is the best compared to Jaybird X3 and Bose SSW. A couple of things I wish they could of done better is the USB charging cable is too short and kept the Powerbeats 2 carrying case with a zipper instead of this new open design case to make sure they don't fall out. Overall, don't expect some Hi-Def quality sound or over the ear comfort, cause again these are Wireless Sport Headphones for workouts. One last thing, these are great if you plan on working out without your phone with you and have an Apple Watch to listen to music through Apple Music.

    After purchasing 3 pair of cheaper headphones, hoping each time they would stay in my ears and let me focus on my run and each time being disappointed.....I decided to pay the $$$ for these Powerbeats3. I was not happy about the price,but was desperate for some good headphones! I love my Powerbeats❤️ They are snug in my ear, don't move unless I move them and the sound is amazing! The battery lasts up to 12 hrs so that's a weeks worth of my workouts! Definitely worth the money!
