Apple has just recently released the Powerbeats Pro and everyone is going crazy over them. They cost $250 and are the perfect example of what a truly wireless headphone should look like. They have impeccable design and good battery life. Let us view the specs and features of Apple Powerbeats Pro and see the buzz surrounding these headphones.
Size:
When you first try the Powerbeats Pro, you will notice their extraordinary size. So, you are dealing with much larger ear pods. Their casing size is twice as Jabra and Sennheiser. They are somewhat similar to the Powerbeats 3, which Apple released in 2016. However, the casing lacks the sophistication, which is a hallmark of Apple.
Design:
The design of these headphones is simply brilliant. They have a crossbar section where the battery is present. However, now they are beautifully attached to the hard stem of the ear pod. The part that wraps around the ear is also quite soft. Therefore, the ear pods don’t hurt one of the most sensitive areas of the body. All these features make these headphones look more coherent than the previous models.
These headphones aren’t discreet, So, this over-the-hook design of Powerbeats Pro isn’t for everyone. People who usually wear hats or sunglasses will feel annoyed by the hook. These headphones aren’t also for casual use. First, they draw too much attention. Secondly, they stick out of your ears.
Controls:
Powerbeats Pro has four pairs of ear tips. Along with these ear tips, the sleek box has instructions on how to use it. The writing manual instructs you to put the earbuds back into the box after using them.
Two buttons are present on each earbud for controls. The ear pods also contain a volume rocker button to adjust the volume. The mirrored design of the ear pods allows you to use the ear pods either together or independently. You can also use the multi-function button to talk to Siri.
The buttons present on the headphone are user-friendly. However, one can argue that they are just too easy to use. Sometimes, you will accidentally play tracks, which you don’t want. You might also increase the volume when you want to lower it.
The H1 Chip:
One of the main selling features of Apple Powerbeats Pro is the headphone clip. This H1 chip was first introduced in Apple Air Pods. It allows you to pair fast with an IOS device. At the longest, it will take two seconds to connect to the iPhone. Once connected, you will see a battery level icon for the ear pods. The range of H1 chip connection is quite impressive.
A major attraction of the H1 chip is the always-on Siri. You don’t have to activate the Siri; it is always listening to you. The H1 chip also optimizes the connection of the earbuds. Some experts believe that the right earbud is the dominant one when listening. However, the H1 chip makes an efficient sound distribution between the two earbuds.
Audio Quality:
The audio quality of Powerbeats Pro is overwhelming. They offer a loud bass sound. This sound can become a bit too loud at times. So, you have to adjust the volume. Overall, these headphones provide a clear and dynamic sound.
The Apple Company also claims that they have 60% less distortion in Powerbeats Pro than Powerbeats 3. Thus, they cut outside noises to a minimum. This makes them far better than the AirPods and many other competitors in sound quality.
Battery Life:
Powerbeats Pro has excellent battery life. They offer a fast charging of 1.5 hours. Once the headphones are fully charged, you can freely use them for 9 hours.
Verdict:
Apple Powerbeats are the next generation of headphones. The Apple Powerbeats Pro has some good aspects, like strong battery life, amazing design, and the H1 chip. However, the large size and audio quality can create issues. Still, I would highly recommend them because they have been made with a futuristic approach.
