Music quality not great

Powerbeats pro 2 doesn't support LDAC codec You should turn off all the Equalizers in the phone and apps Try with Wired headphones (technically with DAC) - you'll hear a difference between audios Turn off normalize volume in Tidal app Then compare AM VS TIDAL...

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.

Checking in to see if firmware updates have made these sound better and fixed the issues with the heartbeat sensor on iPhone?

Batteries in my original Powerbeats Pro are unreliable and I need a replacement soon, not hugely keen on white electronics of the AirPods Pro and like the around ear securit

Apple Watch Ultra 3 - Full Scientific Review (Apple Did It!)

I like his approach and it was very interesting to see certain things like how well the AirPods Pro 3 performed in comparison (slightly better in some areas) and how they were far better than the PowerBeats Pro 2. One problem though was that it was still N=1 in terms of users. While he had a lot of

Apple Still Planning AirPods With Tiny Cameras

Usually, yes, but I don't like using Siri in areas where other people may be on the trail to respect their peace and quiet. Sorry, but let me bash the PowerBeats Pro 2 again... While they have the same accelerometer sensor hardware as the AirPods Pro 2, it lacks the software to do gestures. So when
