But I can see how some people would like the Powerbeats Pro's ear hook for sporting activities because it gives you some reassurance that the buds won't fall out of your ears.Īs I said, these were designed with both iPhone and Android users in mind. (Ultimately, foam tips offer a bit more grip.) They also fit my ears better than the Powerbeats Pro, which I have trouble getting a tight seal with unless I use my own XXL large ear tips. I had no issue with them staying in my ears while running with them but you may get a little slippage as you sweat - they are IPX4 splashproof - and sometimes it can help to use foam ear tips, as I do with the AirPods Pro. But more on that after I finish talking about their design and features.
I found them as comfortable to wear as the AirPods Pro and I also thought they sounded a little better than both the AirPods Pro and Powerbeats Pro. The buds are IPX4 splashproof like the AirPods Pro.īeats says it's redesigned the silicone ear tips and I got a tight seal with the largest ear tip and the buds stayed securely in my ears.
However, there are no volume controls on the buds. And there's the usual single tap to pause/play tracks and answer/end calls and double-tap to advance tracks. You tap and hold a bud to toggle through noise canceling on, transparency on and noise canceling off (you can also program that gesture for one bud to access your phone's native voice assistant). Overall, I thought they were really well-designed, with a physical universal control button on each bud that I prefer to the touch controls you'll find on a lot of true-wireless earbuds these days. They're discrete looking in your ears and also quite lightweight, weighing just 5.1 grams. The first thing you'll notice about the buds is that they look kind of like the rumored stemless AirPods. They're coming to the UK this summer for £130, then they'll hit Australia for AU$200. They come in three colors at launch - red, black and white - and like other Beats headphones, they could very well come in plenty of other colors in the future.
