Two Months Later - AirPods Pro VS Powerbeats Pro
The Airdopes Pro vs Powerbeats Pro: Which Headphones Reign Supreme?
I recently had the opportunity to try out both the Apple AirPods Pro and the Powerbeats Pro headphones, and I have to say that my experience with the AirPods Pro was overwhelmingly positive. The first thing I noticed about the AirPods Pro was their compact form factor. While they still fit comfortably in my ear, I found that they were slightly smaller than the Powerbeats Pro, which made them easier to carry around.
For me, size is a minor issue when it comes to headphones. What's more important is how well they sound and how comfortable they are to wear. In terms of sound quality, I have to say that the AirPods Pro were significantly better than the Powerbeats Pro. They produced a fuller sound with a larger soundstage, and their dynamic range was much greater.
One of the main reasons for this difference in sound quality is the seal on the headphones themselves. The AirPods Pro have an oval shape that fits really well in my ear, which blocks out more noise and gives me a better sound. This is not to say that the Powerbeats Pro don't block out noise - they do - but they don't quite fit as snugly in my ear.
Another feature that sets the AirPods Pro apart from the Powerbeats Pro is their active noise cancellation. While the Powerbeats Pro have passive noise cancellation, which can be effective, it's not quite as good as the active noise cancellation on the AirPods Pro. The AirPods Pro also have a transparency mode, which allows me to hear my environment while still listening to music.
But what really sealed the deal for me was the fit of the AirPods Pro. They are designed specifically for my ears, and that makes all the difference in terms of comfort and sound quality. I found that the Powerbeats Pro were a bit too bulky for my liking, but that's not to say they're uncomfortable - it's just that the AirPods Pro fit me better.
Of course, one of the main reasons people choose headphones is for their features. Both the AirPods Pro and the Powerbeats Pro have some great features, including wireless charging cases and sweat- and water-resistant designs. But when it comes to sound quality, I have to say that the AirPods Pro are the clear winner.
In terms of price, both headphones cost the same amount of money, so it's really a matter of personal preference. If you're looking for headphones that will impress you with their sound quality and comfort, I would highly recommend the AirPods Pro. They may not be the most stylish or compact headphones out there, but they get the job done.
Overall, my experience with the AirPods Pro was overwhelmingly positive. Their sound quality is significantly better than the Powerbeats Pro, and their features are top-notch. If you're in the market for new headphones, I would definitely recommend giving them a try.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: entwo months later it's time to revisit and compare earpods Pro versus powerbeats bro what's going on everyone it is Andrew here from Apple Insider you're in the studio today to kind of talk about revisit rehash the air Potts Pro versus powerbeats Pro argument it's been two months since earpods Pro launched so we wanted to kind of revisit our original comparison that we published and kind of go back and rehash that and look at after actuallyI actually using these guys for two months getting them in our hands in our years for that long and kind of seeing really where the pros and cons live for each of them and which one we'd genuinely recommend for the average user out there so that's we're gonna do let's go ahead and dive into it so between the two we're going to start off by looking at kind of the pros the biggest benefit of the powerbeats Pro beats in general and the power beats Pro they're marketed towards a lot of gym users sports everything like that which is was a clear differentiator between the original air pods and and power beats pro but then air pops Pro came along and kind of messed up that line it kind of started invading into each other spaces converging on those markets so what still excels with the power beats Pro are two main things first is the fit these are obviously gonna be an athletic sporty estate in their place headphone they go in and then wrap around your ear instead of just sitting there and dangling like ear pods and air pods Pro so as far as the fit goes that's a huge differentiator between the two and it could be the only differentiate that matters because of the air pods Pro don't fit in your ear you're gonna have to go with power beats pro and if you don't like the hook going around your ear then you're gonna let stay away from the power beats pro but either way those are gonna stay in much better for the majority of people that are out there just because there's no way no matter what you're doing wiggling your head around that are going to become be able to kind of unhook themselves from your ear so if you're looking for the best fit you're looking for something it's really gonna stay on as you're hitting gym and doing sports whatever it's gonna be definitely a lean towards those power beats Pro the other big thing that's excels the power beats pro is battery life man these things have a nine hour battery life on a single charge that's extremely impressive so you can throw these on and literally go through an entire workday with these on and not have to worry about charging and taking them out anything so that's a huge benefit for the power beats Pro just the amazing battery life now it does come with a little bit of an asterisk because while they do have great night our batter that from the single charge double that of their pods pro air Potts Pro and power beats pro have the same total battery life that includes the battery lift that is housed in the cases you're looking at total battery life both of them have a 24 hour charge so you're just looking for saying get you through the weekend it's like we knocked in a matter both of them have the same amount of charge between the buds themselves and the case now before we get to the air pops Pro and then our general recommendation for this video we have to talk about our amazing sponsor which is helping us out today and as zag zag has a bunch of brands under its umbrella but the one we're talking about today is Mophie movi has amazing charging products we love their battery cases for phones they're top-notch but in this case we're gonna be talking about their battery packs their battery packs are amazing they have such a premium feel between the different fabrics that they wrap around the outside they're all have these really fast high output using USB C and USB a some 15 some 30 some I think as highly like 60 watt outputs on these guys and on their top-of-the-line battery pack there's even an AC the power station AC has an actual AC output to plug in anything else a does on support USB C or USB a so it can't run or any other accessory you've got going on so I love their battery packs they're amazing they even have an awesome power station Wireless one where you just say your phone or your air pods on top and top off that with anything to bring a cable with you great for going on the go and kind of trying to simplify everything so if you want to grab anything from Mophie grab anything from zag follow the link down below in the description Ian use our exclusive discount code down there and save even more now let's get back to the air pad pro Arafat's pro actually have a bunch of benefits over the powerbeats pro so first is they're much smaller more compact form factor i love the design of the air pods pro honestly i love the design of the original air pods on the air pops pro came out it was a little bit wonky with the case opening up sideways but whatever it's a minor qalam at this point because I just love this smaller form factor the fact they can fit in a pocket my hand powerbeats bro are a little bit bulbous I gotta have more room there for those your hooks to kind of fit in so it came a little bit problem if you're looking for portability so as far as you know which is easier to carry around day to day whether you're at the gym or away from the gym you've got to go with AER pots Pro the next huge benefit for earpods Pro is the actual sound quality so I'm calling on earpods Pro after listening to these things for two months now is far better than the power beats Pro I listen to both of these headphones a lot over the last 60 days and I have to hands-down go with AER pots Pro they are more fuller sound there's a larger soundstage and they have more dynamic range than the power beats Pro do in fact the air pods Pro have more bass in the power beats pro tube it could be partially due to the seal so Arafat's Pro have an amazing seal on the headphones themselves it's kind of like an oval shape and they fit really well and when there's a good seal blocks out more noise and it's just gonna give you a better sound and their stuff any air kind of leaking through it's not as sealed off just back make it as good times that could be part of the reason why for me air pods pro have such a better sound over the power beats Pro outside of the sound outside of the form factor of the two devices we have the actual other features we will talk about such as qi wireless charging for the case you don't have to plug anything in just so easiest to plop them down your desk your nights and get home every day don't have to have to worry about charging them and then the second thing is actually the active noise cancellation features so there is active noise cancellation instead of just passive noise cancellation that you get with power beats Pro and they have transparency mode allowing you to actually hear your environment so they're gonna be much better on Planes Trains anything that's gonna have a little bit of background noise going on and then you have transparency mode so if you're walking down the street or you're at the gym and you want to kind of hear what's going on around you as well as hearing your music turn on transparency mode you can actually hear all those noises and I've never heard a pass through audio mode as good as the air pod transparency mode it feels very natural and much but in some of the kennel walkie ones we've heard out there they kind of make your annoy your voice sound louder or distant or echoey weird stuff happens but on air pods Pro it actually sounds very natural and we really like using a kind of huge safety feature as well for running when you're out so between the two for that reason alone I kind of shift a little bit towards earpods Pro when it comes to sound quality when it comes with a fit warm function and then the actual noise cancellation active versus passive so that kind of says it right there between the two of them most people should go and gravitate towards ear pods Pro if you're debating between the two ear pods Pro is the winner sound quality it's more compact it's still a sweat and water-resistant it's got action or cancellation and transparency mode has the new controls for the new of four stems on there there's a lot of things to love with the new ear pods Pro power beats Pro are still great headphones and if you don't find that ear pods Pro fit then you don't have to worry about feeling bad about go power beats pro they're still great headphones they still fit sound far better than the standard air posit are out there so you still got a win there and with those ear hooks they're not going anywhere an incredible battery life they are still sweat and water resistant an amazing set of headphones so you guys can't go wrong either way but I think most people would be happier going with ear pods Pro these things cost the same amount of money I'd go with the air pods problem they're all around a better headphone worked outside of the gym just as well as they do now in the gym so I would know what you guys
