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.

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.

Competing models are just as good or better and cost less; not a major upgrade over Powerbeats2 Wireless.

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.

Easy to connect to iPhone

Can't hear a thing when there's slight bit of wind especially in a call,I should have gone for a iPhone Standard ear pierce

In addition to the buds that jam into your ear canals, the Powerbeats3 have big adjustable hooks on both sides that wrap over your ear to keep everything secure. As a result, they're the most stable, comfortable wireless headphones I've ever tried. I can wear them all day without pain.

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

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.

W1 pairing with Apple products is so convenient; Long battery life; Secure fit

Bass heavy audio won't be for all; Not exactly elegant

Whether you love ‘em or loathe ‘em, Dr. Dre's eponymous headphones are everywhere, from the treadmill to the weights bench. Even I joined the Beats brigade, picking up a pair of Powerbeats2 wireless in-ears under the (misguided) belief that they'd get me exercising more.

Bluetooth audio-?especially when exercising-?has always been "good enough,"has always been "good enough," but never great. Apple's W1 chip in its latest headphones lineup changes that, and the proprietary wireless technology steals the show in its new sports-focused Powerbeats3 headphones.
