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.

I just got the Powerbeats Pro 2, and I’m disappointed. Any recommendations?
I am pretty disappointed with the sound quality with the Powerbeats Pro 2. I love my original Powerbeats pro but these almost feel like a downgrade. Would anyone recommend a similar style of earbuds that has a good mic and good bass? I am honestly thinking of returning these for something better.

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
