5.0 out of 5 starsFinally the headphones I’ve always dreamed about!!
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2019
I pre-ordered these headphones before reading any reviews because I have been so desperate to find good headphones to run with. In my nearly 30 years of existence, I’ve never been satisfied with a pair of headphones. I probably have the weirdest shapes ears ever because nothing fits them. Either they slide out or hurt, or both.
Day 1- FINALLY THEY’RE HERE!!! 😍 I charged them while finishing my work day up (I think they came pretty much charged because they were at 100% within 5-10 minutes) then eagerly headed to the park for a test run. The temp has reached the 90’s here in Mississippi so it was inevitable that they would be receiving a sweat test! After 3 miles (41 minutes, let me mention I’m a beginner runner) I realized I never had to adjust them or push them back into my ear, not ONCE! I’m thinking this is too good to be true! I had forgotten I even had them on, other than the fact that I had a clean crisp bass playing in my ears. I also own a pair of Studio beats, and honestly these ear buds sounds almost as good... which is pretty awesome to not have to wear something so bulky but still have the noise cancellation and sound quality.
Overall, it’s only been one day but my first impression is absolutely amazed.
Side note, these were shipped in a box big enough to fit a baby heifer and it looked like it had been thrown off a mountain. I could almost remove the tiny product box through an opening of the baby heifer shipping box. Not sure if Amazon or UPS is to blame for that, but it definitely wasn’t the headphones fault.

1.0 out of 5 starsnot good
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2019
This headphone set has poor sound quality: it lacks midrange, and attempts to compensate by boosting treble and bass, but in a bad way. Mids are still scooped & music sounds poor & cheap.
The hissing white noise is intolerable, unless you like white noise then these are perfect for your youtube noise videos.

I tested these with (remastered) Led Zeppelin, Physical Graffiti, and Hillsong United, Zion. I would've also tested with Maxim Vengerov or a Rachmaninov concerto but didn't bother after listening to two albums.

I'm not an expert but I am a musician with sound engineer experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glad I waited for the Powerbeats Pro!
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2019
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
I want to preface this before I say anything about these headphones: I primarily use headphones for music and podcasts while I am cycling, running, or sitting at my desk at work. I use Spotify for music, and I am not an audiophile. I am not comparing these to a pair of Sennheisers with a lossless audio format as my source. I also am using an iPhone 7+ and iPad Air 2 for my devices in this review.

I have been waiting on a getting a pair of truly wireless headphones because none seemed to be worth it to me. The battery life is usually dismal for obvious reasons, and most had complaints of cutouts between the earbuds. Some friends of mine have Air Pods and they all said they didn’t have cutout issues and battery life was pretty good. But, I just didn’t like the design of the Air Pods and they sounded “hollow” to me. But I get their appeal.

I am so glad I waited for the Powerbeats Pro (PBP)! I was using the Jaybird X3 before I got these, and I think the sound is on par with them. One of my main annoyances with the X3’s was that the cord would tug once sweat built up on my neck while exercising, and I couldn’t use the cable shortener they provide because of the way my helmet is. I went for a bike ride yesterday with the PBP’s, and they were fantastic! It was a little windy, so I did get a little wind noise. I am hoping Comply makes some tips for these because I think that would make the noise isolation much better. My ride was around 2 hours and I still had 80% left on the PBP battery.

Cons:

1. The case: it’s actually smaller than I thought, but would still be uncomfortable in a pocket. I think the 9 hour battery life on the actual headphones make this acceptable, but this may be deal breaker for some.

2. Ear fatigue: I didn’t have any fatigue during my ride, but my ears were definitely a little sensitive where the hook was resting after I took the headphones off. I’m hoping this gets better as I wear them.

3. Like the Air Pods, the PBP’s can only be connected to one device at a time. They will pair to all Apple devices on your iCloud account, but if you want to switch between devices, you have to go into your Bluetooth settings and select them. On Android you will need to pair each device separately.

4. I usually listen to a podcast when I go to sleep. These are not comfortable to lay on if you are side sleeper like I am. Also, the button the headphones will get pushed by the pillow. The button doesn’t require much force, which is great because your not shoving the headphones into your ear. Not a huge deal, but just thought I would mention it.

Pros:

1. Great sound for Truly wireless, I think.

2. Great fit for exercise.

3. Pretty good sound isolation, but like I said, I am hoping Comply makes some tips for these.

4. Actual headphones are smaller than I thought they would be, and they don’t look weird on you when you are just walking down the street.

Bottom line, if you use an iOS device and use headphones while exercising, I can’t recommend these enough! In my opinion, the $250 price tag is worth it given where other truly wireless headphones are priced.

1.0 out of 5 stars after the rubber tip there is a huge black ball that hurts my ear badly
Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2019
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
sound is good not great because they don't get very loud. Keeps losing signal even though phone is in my hands. After the rubber tip there is a huge black ball that hurts my ear badly so you can't wear them for very long. you also don't get anything more from these 276$ headphones that you wouldn't get from a 100$ pair. I recommend going with something else.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you workout, better than any high end wireless headphones/earphoes
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2019
Color: Black
Battery life, and sound quality is absolutely perfect. The earphones hold perfectly in place even during HIIT, and the sweat resistant makes it better than apple AirPods. The charging case is indeed a bit bulky, but doesn't marginalize the value of this earphones. yes, it is pricey, and could have been $50 less, but its beats!

Update:
After 10 days of usage, so far the product has lived upto the standards. Fit is snug. I've been running, and training in the 90 degree Fahrenheit sun in Louisiana, no smell and issues due to sweat whatsoever. The phone call quality is still impeccable and helps reduce sound. batter life went on for unto 7 days with 90 minutes of usage everyday.

5.0 out of 5 stars They Sound Good
Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2019
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
First off, SUPER comfortable and secure. I've only been able to use Earhook headphones for ANYTHING even walking as normal Earphones just fall out and in ear headphones will fall out eventually do to sweat and jaw movement. These things are awesome cause they dont penetrate the ear canal rather they sit and seal right outside the canal. The sounds is good for your avg listener but im not WOWed by the base as most reviews have pointed out its punchy but I dont care for it cause it just sounds good as my Anker Soundcore Spirit X, maybe a tad punchier. Back to the fit. Its good for big eared people like me. I've switched to the smallest silicone fitting because it doesnt seal my ear canal so I can hear everything going on around me while also enjoying the headphones. I know, that defeats the purpose of the seal but its an option if you're out in public and need to know whats going on around you. Love the auto off when removing from your ear. Not looking back on this purchase as expensive as it was, its the best earphones I've ever used.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great until...
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2019
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
I was truly wowed by these when I first got them. I set them up at home and paired them with my galaxy note 9.
I tested them at the house by walking around and listening to music. They passed my shake test and sounded really good with the use of my poweramp app. I was all hyped to take them for my 1st workout on at the gym and this is when everything came crashing down. I consistently experienced intermittent connectivity issues with my music cutting out, and speeding up to catch up to its original spot . This was the weirdest thing I have ever experienced with a pair of wireless headphones. I originally thought maybe my sd card is acting up, so I switched to using one of my music subscription music accounts via wifi and got the same issues. I was like (insert expletive). It got so bad that I left the gym and went home to troubleshoot the issue. Got home and they worked fine. I don't know if it was due to all the metal causing interference in the gym or the H1 chip going nuts due to being around a bunch or iphones or what. All I knew was that the main reason I purchased these was for gym use and I couldn't keep a consistent connection without my listening experience being interrupted repeatedly due to my music dropping out. I really wanted to love these but had to return them. If anyone can provide a comment to tell what the issue was, I'd be more than happy to purchase them again because I truly wanted to love them... #Dissappointed

4.0 out of 5 stars Great True Wireless Earbuds
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2019
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
Powerbeats Pro's are great products. They have good sound, great functions, and portability at an fair price tag.

Sound: The sound is great. but mainly because the fit and seal are good and because they have upgraded their hardware... (Powerbeats Pro use a 12mm rigid aluminum linear piston driver).

Tip: To get a good sound, make sure to use the correct tip size and the loops are adjustable to create better alignment into your ears.

Form and Function: I do like the sportier function as well as the look of these earbuds. These are thin and comfortable in the ear. I do like that they have 3 buttons on each earbud that works the same no matter which one you choose. They will also work independently of each other so if you need to have one ear in, you can choose which side to use. Most true wireless earbuds require the right side to be in if you want to use only one, or both.

Buttons: BEATS Logo
One click to play pause.
Two clicks to fast forward
Three clicks to go backwards.
Hold to invoke Siri

Volume Rocker
Volume up and volume down... simple

Price: there isnt much to say. It's in the upper price range of true wireless earbud prices, but for the company that makes them, the price seems fair.

Other notes: The case is gigantic. The case will still fit in your pocket, just not without looking obvious. The earbuds last 9 hours and the case will charge it to a total 24 hours of use. 5 minutes of charge in the case adds an additional 1.5 hours. The case does not have wireless charging. it will come with a black lightning cable.

Do your own test with songs you recognize, not just what other people say.

Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars PERFECT FIT! Best gym headphones you can buy!
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2019
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
First I need to start with the fact that I’m EXTREMELY picky when it comes to headphones and I’ve bought over 20 pairs from Amazon from brands to no brands. These are the first pair of headphones that I’ve worn to the gym that have not needed a single adjustment! I have weird ears and no in ear headphones have ever fit me this well. The seal is great and it just doesn’t move! Ok so quick pros and cons:
Pros:
Amazing fit
Good seal
Great battery life (easily a day of on and off full use from 5am to 10pm)
Cons:
The bass isn’t as deep as other in ear Beats unit but is good enough
The mic quality isn’t amazing, I’ve had a few people say it isn’t very clear, passable but I’ll use others for work
No other cons!

I love them - I honestly didn’t want to at $250 but to be able to get through workouts without having to CONSTANTLY touch my ears and move the headphones around, man it feels great and for me is worth the price tag! 👊

Aldo
3.0 out of 5 stars They keep unpairing with my iPhone
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2019
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
Edit: after having them since they were released, I can say that these are good sounding headphones, not the greatest or best for audiophiles, but they do sound good for the price. My one star is for the consistent problem of the headphones unpairing. Sometimes when I take one off to hear someone speaking to me, the song pauses as it should, but when I put it back on my ear and play the song, it plays it on my phone for a split second long enough for others to hear. Now I have problems even pairing both after case and earbuds are both at 100%. I’m running the latest software of IOS, not water damage, have not used them outside the office to be damaged. Will be selling them soon if problem persists.

I’ve been listening to music from Spanish to metal and it seems hip hop and EDM are mostly the ones that sound good especially with the bass it has. I work in an office and used to have the first AirPods. I could hear people when they talked to me even at 75% volume, now I can’t tell when at 35% or greater. I would stick with AirPods as it’s easier to take off and put on. My ear has a bit of discomfort from the way it sits. Probably cause by the glasses I wear. Great product, but if you are thinking these vs AirPods, and you don’t work out or your job isn’t physical, I’d suggest you stick with AirPods. People who say these are expensive, well don’t buy them. Really, there’s tons of alternative products made just for your budget/comfort. Hope this helps people out there.
