Beats Powerbeats3 Wireless Sports Headphones - Decade Collection - Defiant Black/Red MRQ92PA/A review

They're not the best in-ears around from an audio perspective, but the fact they keep going and going, stay securely in your ears and pump the bass will be a huge draw to many. As will the W1 chip's pairing sequence.
Pros:
  • W1 pairing with Apple products is so convenient
  • Long battery life
  • Secure fit
Cons:
  • Bass heavy audio won't be for all
  • Not exactly elegant

Good piece of kit!

I bought these to replace my Apple AirPods because these have noise cancelling feature, the AirPods don't! At first I didn't like the idea of having wires around my neck but the ease of use and the sound from them is more than enough to make up for this.

Brilliant but sound is not as high as it could be. Maybe I'm dead.

Great product but lacks a bit of power. Maybe I'm going deaf

Beats Powerbeats3 Wireless Sports Headphones - Decade Collection - Defiant Black/Red MRQ92PA/A review

The PowerBeats3 Wireless is a decent step up over its predecessor, but it's no bargain in an increasingly crowded market for wireless sports headphones.
Pros:
  • The Beats Powerbeats3 Wireless offers an improved fit, very good sound for Bluetooth sports headphone, reliable operation, and strong battery life (12 hours), thanks to Apple's W1 chip
  • Pairing is dead-simple for iOS users and the headphones also work just fine with Android phones.
Cons:
  • Competing models are just as good or better and cost less
  • not a major upgrade over Powerbeats2 Wireless.

Beats by Dre Powerbeats3 Review

The Powerbeats3 are a good pair of headphones, not great. And unless you get them on a good sale the asking price of $199 is way too much.
Pros:
  • No skips
  • Haven't had any issues with sweat
  • Ear hooks keep them securely in place
  • Battery life
Cons:
  • Price
  • Initially have to repair
  • Ear tips get slippery with sweat
