![]() I didn't experience any discomfort, but I felt the arms of my glasses push the ear tip outward a tiny bit - enough to lessen the bass impact. I also wore the Powerbeats Pro to run while wearing my glasses. I'm not sure if other earbuds, like Jabra's Elite Active 65t or Apple's AirPods, would have stayed put. The left earbud dislodged but the hook remained around my ear, so I could quickly regroup and keep running (after we exchanged apologies, of course). A quick-walking pedestrian rounded a corner and walked smack-dab into me as I sprinted down a sidewalk. I haven't had any issues running with hook-free wireless earbuds, but the Powerbeats Pro's hook did make them feel more stable, particularly when I ran outside on windy days they didn't budge at all. Powerbeats Pro review: Fitness performance My first-gen AirPods, with Apple's older W1 chip, take a few seconds to connect to my phone, and that's after both buds are in my ear. The Powerbeats Pro connected to my iPhone almost instantaneously I could hear the distinctive "bloop" of the pairing noise even before the first earbud was securely in my ear canal. Because neither earbud takes priority, each is paired constantly, and you can charge one while using the other. Like the second-gen AirPods, the Powerbeats Pro uses Apple's new H1 chip, which allows both earbuds to connect to your phone. The volume rocker is located on top of each bud. Press once to pause or resume playback, twice to skip a track and three times to reverse, and long-press to activate Siri. Just run your fingers over the earbud, and feel for the B logo. The controls are incredibly easy to find, even without being able to see them. If you take an earbud out, the music will pause, but you can resume it. Powerbeats Pro review: ControlsĮach earbud has identical controls, so you can listen with one earbud in and still pause and play songs, take and reject calls, trigger Siri and control the volume. Your mileage will vary, of course earbud fit is incredibly personal. I eventually settled on the smallest of the four options, which created a better seal than the others, but it still wasn't perfect. But on a run, the medium tips stuck out of my ears too much, making for an insecure fit. ![]() On a subway ride, the smallest tips let in too much ambient noise (chattering tourists, screeching trains). ![]() It took some trial and error to figure out which tips fit best. ![]()
