The Powerbeats Pro have all the great features of the AirPods, except for the bulky charging case and high price. They also sound better, have longer battery life, and won’t fall out of your ears. The Beats Powerbeats Pro has a lot going for it in terms of how it looks. These buds look sporty, but they are still useful enough to wear outside of the gym.
The Powerbeats Pro have a play/pause button in the middle where the Beats logo is, as well as a power rocker on each of the two earbuds. This is a nice feature because it means you can control your music with whichever hand is open. (If Hey Siri is turned on, you can also just say the wake word as a speech command to get the same result.)

Where to get Beats Powerbeats Pro earbuds?
It also helps that the Pro buds are very comfy, both in terms of how they fit in and around the ear and how they feel when you listen to music. If you’ve used other true wireless headphones before, you might remember feeling a sort of pressure in your ears while listening to music. We’ve definitely felt this with other workout headphones like the Jaybird X4, but the Powerbeats Pro don’t have that annoying pressure.
This is because the front chamber has a micro-laser barometric venting hole that, according to Apple, lowers pressure in the ear and improves bass response. not that the bass levels of Beats headphones need any help. The thin tip of the earbuds is another thing that helps them fit so well. It’s smaller than a lot of other truly wireless earbuds on the market, and it comes with four different ear tips so you can still find the right fit. As with other AirPod products, the Powerbeats Pro work best with other Apple goods. On iOS, all you have to do to pair the Powerbeats Pro is open the case near your iPhone or iPad. After two hits, your devices will be in sync.
