OK would not buy the Powerbeats 3 again
OK would not buy the Powerbeats 3 again.
For me, they are too clunky in combination with a bike helmet and sunglasses, and wind noise is too loud at higher speeds.Pro

- Good battery life
Contra

Apple does not solve the problem. My current recommendation is no. But the Beats3 would otherwise be great.
Well, I'm not really one of those people who complain about Apple products. But after the third pair of Powerbeats 3 in black, I think enough is enough. For the price, you can really expect quality, especially from a global brand like Apple. They do take the devices back during the warranty period, but I had the same experience as "Poseidon". The only difference is that the same problem always occurs with every device. While exercising on the cross trainer, I usually watch my US series to distract myself. After buying/receiving the new unit, they never have a problem for the first 2-3 weeks. Run flawlessly. But then the sound starts to go up and down or the playback on the iPad is paused. But the connection is still working. At some point, I get so unnerved that I usually stop the training. When I connect my Beats to the iMac at home, it shows 100% power under the BeatsUpdater. However, it doesn't seem to supply the headphones with enough power. The indicator light always shows red. But in the software Full 100 % power. When I then pair the headphones with the iPad again, it stops after 1-2 minutes and the connection is broken. As if the headphones had no power (which is probably why it's red). Apple always replaces the device. If the problem wasn't known, Apple would certainly oppose the replacement. However, this is getting too annoying for me and I don't want to spend my time walking to the Apple shop. Since I usually sweat a lot during sports, I suspect that the headphones have a problem with the seal. The problem is not with the headphones themselves, but with the RemoteTalk unit on the left side. The unit is not moisture-proof and leads to the problems, which in the end lead to a short in the control unit of the Beats.
Pro
- Good and pleasant sound (incl. bass)
- Very comfortable to wear
- New Bluetooth connection with W1 chip is great.
Contra
- Processing is not moisture-proof
- Same failure scenario with the same but different Beats headphones
- The indifference at Apple to really address the problem.

Buy and hope you have no problem
As long as the Powerbeats work, they are good. When the headphones are defective, the back and forth begins. I've been on them for several weeks.
Pro
- good sound
Contra
- Very poor Bluetooth connection, often crashes
- very poor service from Apple, Sertronics and Digitec

Very good in-ear headphones
As an Android user, Samsung S7, we had some concerns about compatibility. Since the headphones are basically built for iPhones. But everything went smoothly. The sound is good and the operation also worked perfectly. Especially if you prefer headphones with a headband, these are the first choice.
Pro
- good workmanship
- super sound
- Long battery life
- rapid charging
Contra
- Price

probably the best bluetooth headphones for sports in my opinion (I tried 3 others in the same or higher price range).
I have read a few negative comments - you have to put this into perspective. I bought the headphones both from Digitec and directly from Apple and had a problem with each (once this function button and once a Bluetooth problem). Both problems were there from the beginning and were solved bypass.
Now both devices have been in use for about 6 months for sports (several times a day, sweaty) and there has never been a problem since. Bluetooth works easily for 10 metres in a wall-free room - perhaps with a few interruptions for more. I'd say it's worth extending the service time, but you don't have to do without the device.Pro
- Wearing comfort
- Sound quality
- Battery life
- Battery charging speed
Contra
- not every device works
- possibly slight vulnerability

Too expensive for the quality
This is already the third pair of headphones within 3 months. The first one gave up the ghost after just one week - it wouldn't connect - devices were replaced without any problems. With the second pair, I only had sound in my left ear. The device was replaced, but I had to complain to customer service, otherwise I would still be waiting for a new device today. I went straight to the Apple Store on Zurich's Bahnhofstrasse. There I had to send the device in for clarification at my own expense and wait several weeks for a replacement. However, the salesperson had mercy and I was able to take the replacement with me without any red tape. Now the third pair of headphones broke yesterday. I had the headphones in my training trousers pocket. When I took them out, the neck was broken - too bad. I didn't expect the headphones to be so sensitive. So, just keep headphones in the carrying case. Battery life it does not keep what it promises. After 3x two hours of training, the battery was empty.
Pro
- Do not slip during sport
Contra
- Expensive
- Poor product quality
