Powerbeats2 Wireless In-Ear Headphone, Active Collection - Shock Yellow

Before anything else, the question everyone wants to know the answer to: are these really worth $200? In my opinion, absolutely.I bought these to replace my worn out original Powerbeats. Go figure, literally the day these are announced my original (and by original, I mean I bought those when they first came out too) Powerbeats started acting up and the remote started misbehaving. Having such a good experience with those, I decided to give these a try.Recently I was gifted the Beats Studio Wireless headphones to replace some cheap corded ones that I had previously. Honestly, I didn't think the wireless feature would be that big of a deal with those and I turned out to be very wrong. Exact same story with these. Working out with these is a joy with no cable.As for the sound quality, I can only echo what others have said, these sound great. I thought they would be pretty much identical to my old Powerbeats if not a little worse because they were wireless, but, again I was surprisingly wrong. The most important thing with these is to literally try every single set of earbuds they come with. The original ones sounded pretty good, but to satisfy my curiosity I tried them all. I ended up going with the biggest ones (I'd say I have average sized ears and ear holes) just because of the sound difference. The seal the bigger ones afforded me resulted in a completely different sound definitely for the better. Mostly, it really helped bring out the bass. Additionally, with a better seal comes better passive noise cancelation. However, to each their own, you might disagree.As for the fit, I was really excited that these kept the arch that goes around the ear. While not as critical with the wireless version, that hook kept the wired ones from ripping out of my ear every time the cable got caught on something. With these, it really helps keep them where you put them. I've never been a fan of just plain ol' earbuds. They inevitably end up falling out of my ears. You will not have to worry about that with these.Seeing as I mentioned the remote glitching out on my old pair I should address my initial impressions of the inline remote on these. I never was a huge fan of the plastic diamond shape of the original Powerbeats. These on the other hand are almost completely sealed in rubber (except for the microphone) and as I'm almost sure that continued exposure to sweat is what ultimately did my last pair in, I'm fairly confident I will not be having that problem with these. Only complaint with these in regards to the remote is given how close the remote is to the ear you can't really see what you're pushing on and the buttons all feel the same to me. I found myself having to feel up and down the remote to try to find the button I was looking for.With the accolades out of the way, let's get to the negatives. Yes, these for some reason are horribly out of sync with video. I read in another review that customer support mentioned this is because of the nature of Bluetooth but that is just plain wrong. My Studio Wireless use Bluetooth and I watch tons of video with those and it's perfectly in sync. If a big part of your routine with headphones is consuming videos of any kind, I would not recommend these to you. I will only ever use these for music, so this didn't matter at all to me. Also, they are battery drainers of whatever device they are connected to, to be sure. In my about 2 hour workout they easily drained 20% off my iPhone 5 battery perhaps more. As for the battery in the headphones themselves, to that I cannot speak yet. I just got these today and haven't had a chance to drain them completely and see how long they last, but when I do and have a chance to charge and drain them a few times I will update my review should any pertinent points come from that experience.Overall: I was extremely hesitant to buy $200 headphones when I had a perfectly good pair already. Once those started acting up, I began to reconsider my position on that. I paid $150 for my original Powerbeats when I got them years ago and did nothing but workout with them sweating profusely at times and they kept taking it (even considering the version I had went so far to say that one should avoid water/perspiration if at all possible). Having such a good run with those and with my new found fascination with wireless, I decided I had to give these a try. I've only had them for one day and I'm already quite sure these are going to be part of my workouts for quite some time. I would be surprised if you didn't agree should you also purchase them!

I've read through several reviews on this product and it's getting more hate than it deserves.If you're looking for high, studio/recording quality sound, these are not for you. However, if you're looking for a pair of earbuds that is great for working out/training/running, look no further.Background of why I got these:I used to use the wired yurbuds that go into your ear and hook on. While they had a decent sound, they were not the most durable and the cord kept getting in the way. I went through three pairs before I had had enough. Then I purchased a pair of wireless Beats Studio 2.0s. Great headphones but they were not designed with the intent to be used in the gym DESPITE what the commercials or ads depict. These were a leap up from the yurbuds as the audio quality was superb, and they were wireless. However, they are not very sweat proof and would slide off if I laid down to bench press or would fly off if I decided to work cleans. I decided it was time to reevaluate my choice of headgear in order to not destroy my Beat Studio 2.0s.Actual Review:While searching for the best pair of wireless earbuds specifically designed for activity, I switched phone carriers and actually got my Power Beats 2.0s for free through a deal with Verizon. Best pair of earbuds I have worn. But why?-Charge them for 15 mins and they give an hour of playback. This is perfect. I'll wear them around during the day walking to class and deplete the battery, but then when I get back to my dorm, I can plug them into my computer while I get ready for practice/weights and then they've charged up to 80%-100%.-Sung fit. They won't fall out. I can power clean with these in AND not have to worry about a cord down around my waist.-Wireless. Placing heavy dumbbells on your knees while having a phone in your pocket is dangerous and a nuisance. Because these are wireless, I can just put my phone under my bench and it will be safe. Same thing with deadlifts or cleans, I can just put my phone in the back of the rack and it will be safe.-Sound Quality. Miles better than the wired earphones/earbuds I have worn. Not quite as good quality as the Beats Studio 2.0s, but that is to be expected.-Noise Cancelling. I cannot remember if these have active noise cancelling or not, but I know they can get loud enough to drown out the sound of other people in the gym or my coaches yelling at me......which has caused some issues.-Hands-free talking on the phone Overall best product I have acquired this year. I would give a 9.5/10 for price, but since mine were free, 10/10. Considering buying a apir of theses for my girlfriend for Christmas now that the price has dropped from $200.

Buena calidad, tengo ya varios años con ellos!Los amo

Very nice product, the bass is great and it does amplify my tablet volume. First thought it was not compatible with my samsung tablet but just had to clic on 'search' on tablet bluetooth page when first used it. Very happy with it.

This my second pair I will purchased.. Got these for my wife.. First day she used these she couldn't stop talking about how great they were.. Stayed on her ears without needing adjustments her whole workout.. Nice and loud although I found mine a tad quieter than jaybird and for a product known for bass it looks like they've changed that and toned it down a bit to get more consumers a board that listen to other genres.. Overall it's still the best Bluetooth I the market..

Los audífonos en cuestión de audio son muy buena, me los he puesto con el volumen al máximo y, son soportables pero si te molestan (por lo menos en mi caso), obviamente te aíslan completamente del sonido exterior esto no implica que sean malos si no a lo que me trato de referir es que la potencia del volumen es muy buena y no pierde calidad.La autonomía es de 6 horas y los cargas de nuevo en 1 hora y media. Llevo utilizándolos 3 semanas y hasta ahora no tengo ningún problema.Uno de los detalles que no perjudican nada al producto sino que incomoda un poco, es que el cable que tiene es plástico "gomoso" lo cual hace que se "pegue" a tu cuello y por lo tanto al girar el cuello de izquierda a derecha (o viceversa) el cable queda "pegado" a tu cuello y hace tension en las conexiones de los audífonos y siento que esto a la larga se hará un problema.Recomendado a cualquier persona que quiera calidad de audio y una autonomía muy buena.

I have had the headphones for over a week and so far am very satisfied with the quality of the product and the sound. It's great for outdoor jogging; stays intact but does not shield the surrounding noises/sounds for obvious safety reasons
