Powerbeats or Airpods Pro?

RetroGameNerd on 05/08/2021 - 12:52

Hi all,

I lost my Airpods a few months ago and am looking to go wireless again.

I'm set on either Airpods Pro or Powerbeats Pro. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with one or both and could help me decide.

Are the Powerbeats worth the extra $50? TIA

I have both, plus the original Airpods.

Airpods are better for ease of use and seamless connectivity, plus they have more options than the PB's.
I found the original Airpods fit my ears better than the Pros. The Pros sometimes fall out of my ears, it doesnt matter which size tips i use.
I prefer using my Airpod Pros when in the office or on the train for the noise cancelling.

Powerbeats are better for sport or anything active. I mainly use mine when cycling.

  This is pretty much the answer I was looking for.
  They'll be mainly for general use, and what I gather is the Powerbeats will be better if I'm regularly doing strenuous exercise. I'm not gonna kid myself, I won't be regularly doing strenuous exercise.
  Heavily leaning towards Airpods at the moment.

I would say that the AirPod Pros are better for more situations and everyday usage compared to the Powerbeats Pro. They're easier to fit in, plus they have a bunch of handy features.
