Beats Powerbeats review

If you want the latest Apple tech without paying the premium for the Powerbeats Pro, the new Powerbeats could be your cheap ticket in.

Better sound quality Hands-free Siri 15-hour battery life

Difficult fit The wire isn’t ideal No noise reduction

The new Powerbeats are a thoughtful evolution of Beats' wireless workout earbuds. They're missing a few niceties like active noise-reduction and may potentially feel less comfortable than some competitors, but by and large they're a decent cheap...

Beats Powerbeats 4 review: Big upgrade over its predecessor, but behind the times

Beats PowerBeats 4 Review: Exercise in bass

The new Beats PowerBeats 4 add an array of new features and change up the design from the PowerBeats 3 they replace, but still manage to come in at $50 less.

Extremely secure fit ; Water/sweat Resistant ; Excellent 15-hour battery ; Excellent wireless range

Cumbersome cord ; Not comfortable for all ear types

Beats Powerbeats review: reliable wire

The Powerbeats make a compelling case for people not sold on true wireless earbuds.

Sound quality that’s on par with the fantastic Powerbeats Pro ; 15 hours of continuous battery life ; Ergonomic improvements over previous corded Powerbeats

No auto-pause when earbuds are removed ; Neckband can still cause issues here and there

The new Powerbeats are the latest wireless earbuds from Beats. They feature 15 hours of battery life, IPX4 sweat and water resistance, and the same excellent sound quality as the Powerbeats Pro. Apple’s H1 chip is also included for hands-free "Hey...

Beats Powerbeats 4 Wireless Review

The Beats Powerbeats 4 are sleek wireless headphones with a silicone neck cable. They have a comfortable ear-hook design that keeps them stable, even as you move...

Neutral, balanced sound. Comfortable in-ear fit. Stable ear-hook design suitable for sports.

Extremely limited interface with no customization or controls. Poor noise isolation.

The Beats Powerbeats 4 are alright for mixed use. While they're compact and comfortable enough to wear for long periods, they struggle to reduce background noise, which can be a problem at the office or on public transportation. Their ear-hook design...

Powerbeats 4 review: Nearly as good as the Powerbeats Pro, but for less

If you're not ready to cut the cord with true wireless, or you can't stand a bulky charging case, or you don't want to spend the extra money, then Apple's PowerBeats 4 may be the If you're not ready to cut the cord with true wireless, or you can't...

Extremely comfortable ; Secure fit ; Good fit options ; Incredible built-in microphone ; Detailed audio quality ; Sweat-resistant ; Apple H1 chip ; Durable and great build quality ; 15-hour battery with quick charge

Light on bass ; Multi-function button should be on both buds ; Pairing can be glitchy from time to time ; No configuration or tuning options ; No auto-play/pause

Powerbeats 4 combines the best of all worlds

Beats Powerbeats 4 review

The Beats Powerbeats 4 is a noteworthy successor with better aesthetics, battery life, and sound than the Powerbeats 3.

Highly secure fit ; Great sound and call quality ; Steady battery life on a full charge ; Stylish, durable craftsmanship ; Apple’s H1 chip with performance perks

The wire isn’t practical anymore ; Fewer features ; Feels uncomfortable after a while

All things considered, these are still easily among the best sports headphones in their class, just not the best overall. For a few extra dollars, it’s definitely worth checking out some of the market’s top cordless offerings, including the Jabra Elite...
