Bought both the Apple AirPods and a Powerbeats Pro for best comparison. Powerbeats pro is the clear winner. Sound is way better and unlike the AirPods, they are well secure in your ears and no chance of losing them. Siri works beautifully. You just have to say the works and Siri is there.

Excellent for athletic endeavors, but can be uncomfortable when worn for long periods

Good sound quality; very secure athletic fit; long battery life

Can be uncomfortable when worn for 2+ hours; relatively large charging case; Can be uncomfortable when worn for 2+ hours; relatively large charging case

I had purchased these and within a week they stopped charging only listened to them twice from one charge , great sound but wish I had brought Bose

The AirPods have been a crown jewel for Apple. Damn-near every iPhone user has one or lost one. While the many were awaiting the sequel to Apple’s AirPods, the end results was a mild update to one of the most sold accessories. But the new AIrPods aren’t the only thing that arrived this year.

Almost every headphone company is coming out with truly wireless headphones. The Powerbeats Pro eare the first true-wireless earbuds from the line. After a few weeks with them, here are my thoughts.

Fit is comfortable., Sound is balanced. Great for gym., Has volume controls on both earbuds., Battery life is good.

Charges via lightning port instead of USB-C, Carrying case isn't always pocketable., Price might be too high for some.

The Powerbeats Pro are good. That's actually how you could leave it. Because they didn't completely thrill me. I don't think they're comfortable enough for that. The sound, on the other hand, is generally convincing, but for $250 I would have really wished for proper ANC.

Secure hold; Sound quality; Battery life; Compatible with Apple products

Not always comfortable; No ANC; Large case; High price

Bought some Bose sports and really didn't get on with the ear piece. Saw these and took a chance. So pleased I did. Great sound snug fit with size options. Charging case is sturdy and well made and charges them quickly. Last more than long enough. Use them for running, train journeys and for work.

It's amazing the way it sounds and you can do what ever you like since you are not using your hands

PowerBeats Pro maybe the alternative that AirPod lovers need even if that includes about a $50 increase. It houses the H1 chip which can provide the same connectivity, stability, and giving off a better sound while having a massive 20+ hour battery life.

I think and hope that they are going to be enjoyed by my grandkids, and will be quality earphones. These are actually Christmas gifts. Sometimes if I see something what I want to buy early fall for someone, I just go ahead and get it then.
