• Our expert review Beats Powerbeats: sports earbuds with uplifting sound

  • Firm fit
  • Uplifting sound
  • Quickly connected to iPhone
  • Long battery life
  • Sound sometimes too soft
  • Earhook not adjustable

  The water-resistant design and ear hooks make the Beats Powerbeats ideal earbuds for exercise. They won't break due to water damage, sit firmly in my ears and have a rousing sound. Only there is no possibility to put the earhooks tighter around my ears.
  
  Earplugs are secure
  I put the earhooks around my ears and then twist the earplugs into my ear canal. Immediately I notice that the earplugs sit firmly in my ears and will not fall out quickly. When I exercise, the earplugs don't move an inch. I continue to enjoy the music during the greatest efforts during training. Even after hours of listening, the earbuds still fit snugly and don't hurt my ears. It's just a pity that I can't loosen or tighten the earhook. This is possible with the Powerbeats Pro.
  
  Uplifting sound
  The most important thing with sports earplugs is the sound. The sound has to take me along and motivate me, so that I take that extra step during training. This is the case with the Beats Powerbeats, thanks to the bass. I put on a motivational sports list and the bass is deep and powerful, just the way I like it. Unfortunately, the sound at the highest volume is too soft, so I sometimes turn off the volume limit.
  
  Quickly connected to iPhone
  The Beats Powerbeats have the H1 chip from Apple. This chip ensures that I quickly connect the earbuds to my iPhone. I hold the earbuds a few inches from my phone and I get a prompt to pair the Powerbeats. This way I can listen to music within a few seconds. Furthermore, the H1 chip provides a longer battery life, which is 15 hours with these earbuds. As a result, they last about 15 sports sessions without recharging.

  Ideal equipment for sports.

  • Easy to connect
  • Listens to hey Siri with the volume on Max.
  • Ears stay together thanks to wire
  • Lasts +\- 15 hours on a full charge
  • Negatives only surface after a year.

  Too short to rate this one.
  Judging by previous powerbeats versions.
  The first version could not stand the cold and burst open.
  The second version survived the winter.
  Encountered two malfunctions. Each time, no connection was established. First time solving with a software update.
  Second time no more software support on this device. Sounds like planned obsolescence to me.

  Perfect for running

  Very easy to use when running, cable does not move up and down. You barely feel you have them on. They are less recommended for cycling because you can hear the wind quite hard.
  All in all a good choice for an okay price!
