Powerbeats 3 Wireless review: Beats and bass

 

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

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

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

The Powerbeats 3 aren't the best in-ears around from an audio perspective, but the fact they keep going and going, stay securely in your ears thanks to those ear hooks and pump the bass will be a huge draw to many. As will the W1 chip's pairing...

Beats Powerbeats3 Wireless review

 

Pricey, but still the best sports headphones iPhone 7 owners can get

Apple W1 chipset boosts range and battery life ; Great performance ; Comfortable fit

Micro-USB charging ; You’ll need an iPhone 7 to get the best from it

A great pair of sports buds, which really come into their own if you have an iPhone 7

Powerbeats3 Wireless Earphones review

 

When you have one of the best-selling wireless earphones in the world, what do you do for an encore?

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...

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

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.
