This is why I love Beats being part of Apple. They can offer things that Apple wouldn’t want to associate with the main brand (for good or bad reasons) like slightly cheaper feeling plastics as a compromise, wildly changing and often inconsistent color schemes to fit your style and especially changing prices to account for sometimes not as big of a demand as expected.
As someone who had every Powerbeats to come out (and loved them all), I cannot recommend getting any of them except the Pros. The absolute freedom and security of the hoop, unlike AirPods, make me sometimes forget I even have them in. I love the pros and if you can sacrifice the extra money, you won’t regret it. The only way I’d recommend the wired Powerbeats over the pros is if you never had truly wireless earphones. Then you won’t know what you’re missing out on. Then you’ll love the wired beats like I did before I had the pros.
I liked the fit of the Powerbeats with Comply tips especially, but I for instance would never recommend them. For two weeks while taking them on a trip, I noticed again and again that while the case had been in my backpack, either the right or left bud hadn't recharged (although they looked to be sitting perfectly inside the case). Besides, the case is so horribly bulky and uncomfortable to open, doesn't hold a charge proportional to its size. Everything is so much worse because of the hoops, as secure as they may be. And then I got a connection issue or two, while on the go, that the Airpods never had.
I have a pair of Skullcandy but they are really buggy so I stopped using them and waiting for quarantine to be over so I can return them. So I went back to wired headphones and I didn’t mind it so I’m really considering these new ones and I kinda like the cable on these. Also the pros case is soo big
I used pb pro and AirPods Pro, aside from case being bulky, I would say AirPods is a great go and also I’m switching to the new Powerbeats Bcaz cutting cost by selling my AirPods Pro ans using PB 4th gen and my Anker liberty air 2 which is decent
2:02 - 3:28 What happened to the rest of the letters there??? Also, I believe the main reason for why the AirPods Pro and11 Pro had USB-C was for connecting them both the new USB-C charging brick, and either the new iPad Pro or to a MacBook Pro. for the connectivity. Since Beats isn't directly part of the Apple line-up, only tethered to it, it gets Lightning to USB-A, not USB-C.
I have the Airpods Pro and have the ubiquitous issue of the earbuds wanting to wiggle out during workouts. Prior to those I briefly had the Powerbeats Pro, but they just didn't seem loud enough and I wasn't impressed with the audio quality. However the ear hooks are great for working out. I think these would be a great alternative for the price.
I have the Powerbeats Pro, I love them for the gym (when I was allowed to go😜) and riding my bikes! I think the new Powerbeats could be a good value though and don’t think the wire would be that big of a deal. I use AirPods for calls and podcasts. I reviewed the pros on my channel from an outdoors perspective, FYI.
Man I don’t know which ones to get 🥴 I want the pros since it’s wireless and I mainly want to use them to exercise but I have heard that the pros have a lot of cons so idk if I should get the pros or the Powerbeats 4
@@patriciabahena721 I love the Pros, they have continued to be great, but honestly for the money the redesigned Powerbeats 4’s are what I would get today. They have the same ear clip design as the Pros now and the wire on the back of the neck is no a big deal IMO
Powerbeats Pro for the win. Best feature is the hook over the ear. Keep them from falling out. They both have the volume rocker so you don't have to remember which earbud controls which feature. Another great feature is how quickly the earbuds sync to the iPhone. Very easy.
I have the airpods pro and believe they are the best ever. I wanted some buds for the gym and went with the new powerbeats over the pros because the sound quality is the same if not better than the pros and it is $100 cheaper than the powerbeats pros. Also i think the beats look weird with wearing just one in the ear anyways, so i do not mind the wire with the new powerbeats. I definitely recommend the new powerbeats. Hope this helps
Have you tried the Aftershokz Aeropex? IMO, they are the ideal headphones; Neither wireless, nor headbanded, IP67 (Aftershokz claims they are waterproof), I can litteraly wear them all day without any issues.
PowerBeats Pro are the best headset device Apple makes. Much better than PB4 and AirPods Pro. I truly use em for any activity office, workout, whole driving for Siri usage, etc... I switched to PBP after APP trust me thay are better with a great fit for any ear and any activity you do
Hi guys, anyone have problems with the wireless Powerbeats causing an allergic reaction to your ears? I wear mine and that evening my ears itch and hurt are crusty inside and my ear lopes where the hook rests
Hopefully you've done this already, but contact support. If they stand their ground, point out that earphones which give you an allergic reaction are not fit for purpose.
I think I need these because I only use the AirPods at the gym and put a strap between them as they’ve fallen out and had to scuttle around the floor looking for them. Yeah I bought the wrong option for my use case.
Obviously no one is taking phone calls with them? The microphones is very very bad and no one can hear me and are complaining about distortion and low volume. Have you heard your voice with this earphones Renee?
No, ditching iPhone numbers would muddy the user experience far too much for when support was needed. "What phone do you have?" "Oh, iPhone." "...which one?"
Rene Ritchie wym? They’re called the Powerbeats on the website not Powerbeats 4. Regardless, I’m making a mountain out of a molehill. Great video as always! Hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy!
Seriously why you want earphone when exercising? If you are in a gym, there’s good music playing there in their speakers, if you don’t like the music they play then just train to focus on yourself without electronics involved; if you are outdoor, just blend in to the natural sound. All these extra things are just marketing make you feel you need it, just buy for listen music for the times when you doing other than extreme thing like exercise
HDdh Dhxhxb right why do you have a radio when you could just listen to the harmonious sounds of the nature or just focus to having silence in you car🤣🤣🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
I had to pause to make this comment: Have you considered learning sign language.?. This way when you move your hands as much as you do it’ll actually have genuine meaning behind it; and not drive everyone as nuts as it does... Just a thought.

If you're struggling with the math, you can save $100 and spend them in brilliant to learn basic substractions LOL im dying

Rene is a master of detailed review, always enjoy listening to him on Macbreak Weekly
These, I think, are probably the BeatsX + PB3 replacement
That’s the best Segway to brilliant you’ve ever done 😂

I find the Power Beats Pro a little unfortable on my ear after while, so I wonder if the Power Beats 4 (High Performance) is more comfortable..
PB4 are basically PB Pro with a cord for 100$ less.
And different colors, yeah.
Ilya Chap and this is the info I was looking for. Thanks!

What’s happening with the subheading sequences 🌚
Whats wrong with bluetooth?
I think I need these because I only use the AirPods at the gym and put a strap between them as they’ve fallen out and had to scuttle around the floor looking for them. Yeah I bought the wrong option for my use case.
That's the big advantage, yeah.
your deep dives are priceless..
They are releasing Power Beats 4 BUT Apple hasn’t dropped 13.4 and that’s needed to fully use the earphones.
Mine paired fine with 13.3.1, so no worries.
Obviously no one is taking phone calls with them? The microphones is very very bad and no one can hear me and are complaining about distortion and low volume. Have you heard your voice with this earphones Renee?
I'd love to replace my dying airpods with powerbeats but without the rubber tips, hate that.
What would you prefer?
Rene Ritchie Something solid like the normal airpods but in powerbeats form
@@kaysha Thsts pretty much the Powerbeats Pro
Is the naming an indication that Apple might be ditching numbers for iPhone and iPad as well in the future?
They've already done that with iPad and for years now.
No, ditching iPhone numbers would muddy the user experience far too much for when support was needed.
"What phone do you have?"
"Oh, iPhone."
"...which one?"
@@aidenstanley7305 You can refer to the iPhone by year in that case.

Indeed!
Price has dropped on Powerbeats pro to $199
So even less of a reason to get Powerbeats Pro. Not much difference.
Nah nothing tempting to replace my powerbeats 3 with the new ones,,,
The Powerbeats pro are selling for $199 and the Powerbeats 4 are selling for $119: spend the other $80 you won’t be sorry.
Powerbeats are for the gym... This guy is not qualified for this review.
Get right with JESUS guys porn is a sin sex outside marriage is a sin so is swearing I know it sounds stupid but hell is no joke have a good week.
Love ur video
Hey, thanks!
They're just called Powerbeats, not Powerbeats 4.
That's unhelpful for people trying to find them, though :)
