Ran my first 10k

I began running 45 days ago after years of overlooking the joy of exercising.

I remember day 1 where running a single mile was so grueling and I couldn’t do it without stopping. Lately, as well, I’ve been pretty discouraged trying to break past the wall of running 3 miles without stopping, and even

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.

People who buy AirPods Max for 500 dollars seriously why?

Pro not Pro 2 I have the Bose Ultra Quiet and they are light-years ahead of the Airpods Pro in terms of sound quality and noise canceling. The ultra quiet are also easier to pause the music with because you can reach up with your wrist and bump your ear. With the Airpods Pro you have to squeeze the

Looking for the best earbuds for running

If I am not using my Oakley Meta to listen to music on my runs I will 100% have my Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 in. They hook the ear perfectly, don’t move, and the sound is amazing. The only issue you may have is they do cancel noise leaving you to be much more aware of your surroundings

DC rainmakers review of the power Beats Pro… it’s bad

He's being far too kind. The heart rate sensor is definitely one of the offensively worst hardware features I can think of on any product Apple has ever released. The product would definitely be better without it, both in terms of cost and in terms of size/weight. I wish I could get a refund for the
