Generally, premium true wireless headphones for working out come with high IPX ratings.Ħ or 7 is usual. This makes them at risk when dropped in water and even heavy rain. The materials and build-quality of PowerBeats Pro is superb, the only disappointing thing is low IPX4 water protection. Nonetheless, since these are workout oriented, most people will carry them in a backpack. Honestly, it’s hard to fit into an averagely sized pocket. It takes considerably more space than AirPod’s case which might be problematic for those who don’t use backpacks. Plus, there’s no battery indicator on Android.Ĭompared to other true wireless charging cases, this one is the biggest we’ve seen from a major brand yet. The only downside is that you can only power them up with the case that happens to be rather large. You charge the carrying case with the USB to Lightning cable, which you already have if you’re an Apple user. Big case provides lots of battery life and fast.
HYPE PRO 3.5 FULL
The time of a full charge is under 1 hour, which is faster than many comparable earbuds. That’s one solid workout for most people. What’s even more exciting is their super fast quick-charging.įor just a 5-minute charge you can play music for 1.5 hours. With 400 mWh battery capacity, it’s almost double of that in the AirPods. In our testing, we got over 11 hours per single charge at about half the volume. With officially 9 hours per charge and 24-hour battery life if you include the case, you’re hard to find better. The battery life in Beats PowerBeats Pro is one of the best in sports true wireless headphones today. While these headphones aren’t made for heavy video watching, you can binge on your favorite YouTube channels with decent audio accuracy. The delay is minimal, and you have to really focus to see it. But a keen eye will sense a short delay in audio though most people won’t notice it.
HYPE PRO 3.5 BLUETOOTH
Find a new Bluetooth device on your smartphoneĬan you watch videos with PowerBeats Pro?.Take them out of the charging case which will initiate pairing mode.But it’s not a big deal.Ĭonnecting to a new device for the first time is as easy as it comes. Like said before, sometimes, for no apparent reason, there is short distortion in the signal. It’s better than average Bluetooth performance but isn’t perfect. The wireless connection stayed stable through 1 wall even at near maximum range (33ft – 10m).īut the connection and music completely stopped after the second wall in between the music device and wireless earbuds. We did the usual wall test with the PowerBeats Pro and got good results. Bluetooth range is the standard 33ft (10m) in optimal environment. But that’s not a big issue since most people can’t hear the difference anyway. We likely won’t ever see aptX or LDAC support. Nonetheless, the basic wireless functionality of these Beats true wireless headphones is solid.Īlso, the earphones support AAC Bluetooth codec, which is standard for Apple devices. The same headphones can have slightly different performing chips, or your environment might be full of Bluetooth connections that interfere with your signal.
With Bluetooth strength, it’s always a bit random. Generally, it works without problems, but occasionally you will experience short interruptions of the signal even with your music device in your pocket. The Bluetooth 5.0 connection in PowerBeats Pro is above average. They’re 3 of the same single flange tips in different sizes, and 1 pair of double flange eartips.Īnd, you can get aftermarket memory-foam eartips for them as well, for improved comfort and noise isolation. Since they weigh very little, about 10-11g per earbud, they create little downforce. Usually, it’s as simple as putting them in, and you’re set to go. The ear hooks do a great job at keeping them in during fast movement. You always know you’re wearing earbuds and can’t completely forget about them. Thankfully, the pain doesn’t increase over time (we wore them for over 5h straight), but you always have the feeling that there’s something bugging your ears. The ears get slightly irritated, and if you press in when you use the controls, it’s even a bit unpleasant. Now, don’t get me wrong, for most people, these are still comfortable headphones that stick in the ears like glue and don’t induce pain.īut after about 30 minutes or so, the casing that touches the outside of the ear canal creates irritation. The buds sticking out of the casing can irritate ears. I think a lot of fans of the brand are not objectively evaluating these. And while the earphones are fantastically stable for sports, they tend to irritate the outside of the ear canal, especially if you have smaller ears.Ĭontrary to other reviews, if you’ve read them, the PowerBeats Pro aren’t perfectly comfortable. The PowerBeats Pro are similar to the older PowerBeats3 in regards to design and comfort.
