Beats PowerBeats 3 review

 

Fitness-focussed in-ears get the W1 treatment

Great battery life ; Solid bass response ; Good wireless range

A bit bass-heavy ; Fit could be better ; High price

Solidly built and with a great battery life, the PowerBeats 3 get a lot of things right - but at this price point they need to do a little more than this to make them a worthwhile purchase. They're acceptable all-rounders, but there are cheaper...

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

Beats Powerbeats3 In-Ear Headphones Review

 

When Apple made their big iPhone 7 announcement in September, they managed to carve out the smallest sliver of time to introduce three new Beats products — the first set to directly benefit from the Apple's acquisition of Beats. The Solo3 Wireless...

Review: Powerbeats3 with Apple W1 chip are the most reliable Bluetooth headphones we've ever used

 

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...

At $200, the Powerbeats3 are not exactly an impulse buy. In fact, Apple's own forthcoming AirPods (which also include the W1 chip, as well as a number of other advantages) are $40 cheaper.

The Powerbeats3 bring some nice upgrades for iPhone owners

 

The Powerbeats3 don't look all that different from their predecessors. There are a few tweaks here and there, mostly aimed at getting them to fit better. The primary distinction is tucked away inside, a happy addition to the Bluetooth earbuds that...

Beats by Dre Powerbeats 3

 

They do everything they are supposed to do, absolutely nothing wrong with these headphones.

Can't justify how expensive they are, I'd expect a wow factor for the name and the price and it just isn't there.
