It feels like the only place the headphone case belongs is in your gym bag or locker, and that’s kind of disappointing if you want to wear the Pro while you work at the office.Īpple’s rebuttal to that statement is that the Powerbeats can last up to nine hours in between charges and store about two charges in the case. It’s the kind of thing that looks awkward in your gym shorts and can be a hassle to carry around in your pockets. The other issue, and it’s something other reviewers harped on as well, is that the Powerbeats’ case is enormous. This is also kind of an issue if you want to wear headphones to bed, as when you lay down with them in your ear, it pushes them uncomfortably far into the ear canal. One issue with the design of the Beats Powerbeats Pro is that they do jut out of the ears a bit, and don’t have quite the same low-profile look as the Apple AirPods. It’s smaller than a lot of other true wireless earbuds on the market and with four different ear tip options, there are still plenty of ways to get that perfect seal. That’s because of a micro-laser barometric venting hole in the front chamber that, in Apple’s own words, reduces pressure in the ear and improves the bass response… not that Beats headphones needs any help with bass levels.Īnother factor that contributes to the excellent fit is how slim the nozzle of the earbuds are. It’s something we’ve certainly felt while listening to other workout earbuds like the Jaybird X4, but that uncomfortable pressure simply doesn’t exist with the Powerbeats Pro. If you’ve used other true wireless headphones in the past, you might recall feeling a sort of in-ear pressure while listening to music. It also helps that the Pro buds are extremely comfortable, and not just in terms of how they fit in and around the ear, but also in terms of how they feel when you’re listening to music.
