Shockingly Bad Powerbeats Pro 2

Bought these from Apple on the day of release a few months ago. I wish there was one single good thing I can say about this after trying everything. Ended up buying Bose QC Ultra yesterday. Shame on Apple to release such an inferior product at this price point.

Very disappointed in audio quality of Powerbeats Pro 2, anyone else?

I don't know if I got a lemon or something but these things sound TERRIBLE to me. I'm testing by switching back and forth between my v1 Powerbeats and these new ones, and the new ones sound so tinny and bad.

They kind of sound like when the microphone gets turned on with bluetooth headphones and yo

I would pay £10 for a working Apple Watch app

Love overcast iPhone app. Been using it for 5 years and the watch app for a few years. I have Apple Watch cellular series 8 and used to love knowing that I could stream new episodes and that it worked reliably. Now it rarely downloads my smart playlist correctly, it jumps back minutes if I so much a

iOS/watchOS 26 - voice cues now route from watchOS through iOS in Apple Fitness runs

Hi fellow Runnas,

Like many Apple Watch users, I’ve wrestled with whether I should use the Runna app on my Apple Watch or the native Fitness app with the run structure imported from Runna. I ultimately settled on the following solution:

  • Apple Fitness app for conversational paced runs
  • Runna app for

Update on Comply foam tips, PBP2

This is one of the most common failure points for Comply's foam tips, regardless of which set of earbuds you're buying them for. I'm surprised they lasted more than three months, but all good things must come to an end. If you're looking for a good alternative, Azla's foam and silicone eartips are p

Powerbeats pro 2 not even a year and it broke...

I am fed up with these pair of inferior product. The price is not good for its quality, so expensive piece of shit yet doesn't perform as intended. I've thoroughly cleaned both earpiece and still the right doesn't connect and charge on the charging case. I haven't even had it for a year and its havi

Should I upgrade?

The Powerbeats Pro 2 just dropped, and I really want them, but I’m debating whether to buy them now or get the OGs at a much lower price. I’ve had 4-5 pairs of the OGs over the years, so I know their issues, but they’re still my favorite headphones. So I don’t think I’d really mind waiting a little

Audio connectivity issue for first-party headphones

Hello,

Long term issue which I've not heard repeated elsewhere -

I like to run without taking my phone, so it's super convenient to link headphones to watch and head out with just those. However, over multiple software iterations (now including the Watch OS 26 Beta) first-party headphones (Airpods

Beats Powerbeats Pro 1 worth it for $200 ? Do these ever go on sale? Should I consider pre-owned / resale / refurb?

Look: I love my PBP1 with all my heart. I think they sound better than PBP2. But in terms of quality, they’re not worth it in 2025. Eventually you’ll have battery/charging issues causing 1 side to stop working. Just saw PBP2 received an update and users noticed improvements, so perhaps Apple is addr
