Absolutely horrible sound. So disappointed.
I was really excited to receive these headphones because of all the positive reviews. I have several different wireless headphones ranging from Bose, Beats, AirPods, etc....I also own a pair of powerbeats3, which I don’t use at all due to the fact that they’re extremely uncomfortable. The powerbeats Pro are not only just as uncomfortable as the powerbeats3, but the sound quality is absolutely laughable. I’m not sure how there are so many positive reviews for sound on these headphones, because the sound is awful. I literally get a better sound profile out of a $20 pair of Sony headphones I bought for my son at CVS. Either people don’t actually know quality sound, or this is their first pair and they think this is what quality sounds like. Without writing a long essay, the two main things that are wrong with the sound are: absolutely no bass, and very low volume output. I agree with some of the other reviews that state these were rushed to market. I firmly believe that. I mean I own about 10 different pairs of higher end headphones, and these BY FAR are the worst. It’s not even close. If you actually own any other wireless headphones that are in the same price range as these, you will be SEVERELY disappointed with the sound quality. About the only positive aspect of these headphones is the battery life.....they do last quite a bit, and the new chip in them, makes connections very smooth and seamless. I was really hoping these beats would be good as I need a reliable pair for riding bike, that won’t keep moving around on me, and these were definitely secure, but I just couldn’t get over how awful they sound, and how uncomfortable they are. I literally have to take them off after 5 mins because my ear is killing me. These sound like a $20 pair, not a $250 pair. If you have AirPods already, trust me, stick with those as they are far superior. If you don’t own AirPods, I would choose them over the beats pro any day of the week. Guess I’ll keep using my AirPods and beats x for now....
