After 3 yrs daily use still ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2023

I love everything that matters ab these earbuds - most importantly: the ease of maintenance bc i will not lose them and they can be safe draped on my neck if needed while using. Without such a feature as the neck connector cord, i would have lost one or both years ago. The sound and connectivity are excellent, as it the battery life! Im starting to notice a slight degradation in sound and connectivity on occasion - old wires - but these have lasted longer and been better from day 1 of any other headphone or earbuds i have ever owned (too many expensive name brands and cheapos to count). I am a lifelong active music fan who has always brought music along for outdoor activities, and I am heartbroken to find these are no longer available. There is no “next best thing.” Shouldn’t have waited so long to find a backup set. This is a very sad day…

Update: After holding down the power button and the - volume button for 10 seconds my Dre Powerbeats reset, and work perfectly again. Back to 5 ⭐️

Update: They lasted a little over a year. They are still in perfect condition, but will no longer hold a charge. Rating changed to 1 ⭐️

I’m pretty happy with these headphones. I normally just use the included Apple wired headset, and these Powerbeats blow those away. The sound is full and has good bass. I mainly listen to Rock/Hard Rock, and the music sounds amazing.

The Apple earbuds would always fall out of my ears, and these Powerbeats stay snug in my ear. It’s the first time I’ve made it through a whole workout without my headphones coming out of my ear. It’s also the first workout where I wasn’t messing with the headphones the whole time.

Solid Pair - Just a slight hitch

For the Powerbeats High Performance::

Great sound right out the box and genuinely a solid pair of earbuds for sound; however, the fit is annoying.

Its different than the Powerbeats 3 in the sense that they have to sit in your ear a bit more up and they sit more in line with how your ear curves. Not really a problem once you get used to this BUT getting used to this means you gotta endure a bit of pain. Once you get over that hump, its a very solid pair of earbuds especially for running. I genuinely enjoy them but the pain in the beginning is something that I don’t like.

Construction is made well which is really nice. Overall a solid product. Personally I would pay for it if it was on sale but I wouldn’t spend $150 for it. More like $100 or $120.

Never been a Beats fan, now im a lifer. Powerbeats 4 are worth every penny

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2021

Man I can’t recommend these beats enough!! I have tried 100s of headphones, from JBL to skullcandy to Samsung. And I can honestly say these r the best headphones I’ve ever purchased. For one apple buying beats was the best thing that ever happened to them. The M1 chip is one of the best features about these. It is seem less with Apple products , not only connecting but switching between devices. And since Apple made them and they have the chip , ur phone icons change when connected to a little graphic of these exact beats!! Not gonna lie I was hesitant to get beats, always thought the name was overblown. But I was wrong, point blank. Maybe Apple made them way better but whatever the case. These things rock. Idk what the hell people are saying these hurt their ears…. Quite literally the opposite. This is one of the only headphones Ive ever had that not only stay in no matter what, but don’t hurt. I work out in them and the water proof was a must. And they def are, I sweat a ton lol

Also the RANGE IS INSANE on these. The furthest connecting headphone over ever had. No joke. It has to be more than double my Galaxy buds. I put my phone in one corner of the gym and I legit cannot find a spot where it disconnects. Dead serious it’s the ONLY headphones I’ve ever had tbat don’t even do the “Bluetooth skip” sometimes. Where u turn the wrong way or get a little far and it skips. I had tried Skullcandy Indie Evos right before this that did that constantly. Couldn’t go further than 10 feet away without it skipping. Even turn the wrong way with ur phone in ur pocket , and skip. Not these Beats!!!

I LOVE that beats did a new version with the cord connecting them. I hang them around my neck all the time or take one out for a little while I’m working etc and it is so insanely convenient to have them attached and hang on ur neck. It’s one of the reasons I got these over the Pros. And the new Powerbeats 4 have the chord coming out the ear hooks and NOT the actual bud (what a smart change). Now when one is out it doesn’t pull the earphone out at all. It’s very clutch trust me, big improvement. These are a little newer than the pros too, so longer battery life which is easily the 15 hours they quote. Charges with Apple chargers now and not usb c. Very convenient. Also on these the power is on one side and the volume on the other. That’s one thing I hate about the pros is two sets of controls. Anyway highly highly highly recommend the Powerbeats 4 , esp over the pros at least for my needs. Never thought I’d say this but I am a Beats user for life now, thanks Apple for taking this brand to the next level haha

I’m very pleased with these headphones. The noise cancellation is good (not as good as my Bose), I’m able to drown out most of the music at planet fitness. When I am walking with music at a reasonable level I can still hear traffic if I’m walking in the neighborhood. On average I wear them 3 hours/day and charge them every few days. As an apple user I LOVE they charge with a lightening cord. That and the over ear features were what sold me. The cord between ears could be a bit longer as when your sweaty it gets hung up. They were a bit pricy but honestly I would choose them again for the features.

Well put together product

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

I thought this product was well put together and works well. I have the beats Solo's and they work well also, I just didn't want to work out with such chunky headphones. I worked out for an hour and these head phones did not feel sore or uncomfortable, the sound quality was good, and they stayed on well the entire time. I gave them 5 stars because I didn't find anything wrong in order to give them anything less. Battery life was a 4 stars just because its a bummer that losing battery life on anything is a bummer. Overall i'd recommend, if you can't afford or feel conflicted on spending money on this product, i'm sure more affordable dupes work the same but you'll probably just have to keep replacing them.

Amazing Headphones, On Sale or Not

Reviewed in Canada on February 25, 2021

Verified Purchase

Was able to grab these on sale for a really good deal, and if they were even priced normally, I'd still buy them. The sound quality is very good and coming from my previous headphones where I needed to max the volume in the gym, I can have these at near max and still not hear anything. The suction/fit is very good such that even paused I need to take them out to hear people clearly. Battery life is very good - I can get 5-6 workouts in, and each workout is 2-2.5 hours long before I even need to think about charging them - basically only charging once a week at this point, so runtime is about 10-13 hours at a fairly high volume. Range is very good and they clip on your ear securely. If wearing with a mask, I find it is easier to put the headphones on first, and then your mask.

Comfort quality an issue

Reviewed in Canada on June 15, 2021

Verified Purchase

I really wanted to like these earbuds. Having the ear loops and the short round the neck wire gave me a sense the buds would be secure.
There are 2 issues that are negative:
The overall fit is very uncomfortable.
The size of the ear loops is not a good fit for me. I could not get a comfortable adjustment with the ear loops. I did not want to bend them as I feared they would break.
The ear buds themselves were also a problem: I tried 3 different sizes and all were very uncomfortable. The thought of wearing these buds for nay length of time was a non starter.
