Apple Launches Beats Powerbeats2 Wireless Earphones in Apple Watch Sport Band Colors

I'm interested if I could work out with the beats solo2 wireless. Anyone have experience?

Yeah. The peasants like to hate shiny looking toys that actually work well. In all their latest gen headsets, Beats has turned down the bass level and balanced everything else. So the quality won't disappoint you. However, I have heard that Bose gives you slightly crisper sound.

That's what I read in a lot of reviews before I got these. I would also agree with the Bose statement about slightly crisper sound but without the bass. I used to play low brass instruments in band, so bass is a thing I like. But it honestly boiled down to $230 for the Beats Studio headphones or $300 for the Bose model that was comparable. Both have noise-canceling, and they both really sound good. But $70 yo.
 
I thought that $200 was too much for the Apple Powerbeats2 headphones. However, when I got to understand the target group, then I saw that the quality of the headphones is worth the amount. The headphones are pretty and would work well in noisy areas where you want to listen to the music in your Smartphones without disturbances.

There was a slickdeal where u could get the powerbeats2 for like 150 at bb.
 
After some research, I went with the jay bird bluebird x over these for workout earbuds.
I hope I made the right choice.
 
Just left bb. Jaybirds bluebud x were on sale for 121 for silver, 124 for black. Use movers coupon for 10% off too. If you're elite you get 10% bb rewards too

I love them! Great for wearing during my run this morning and nice sound quality. Yesterday I had some sound bluetooth lags while on the beach what was frustrating. Moving my head solved the problem.

Haha moving your head solved the problem :)
I'm still very happy with my Yurbuds by JBL Focus 400 which i bought at Amazon.de for 40 Euros but that is a headphone with wire (and remote in the cord). I wasn't able to fully get the earplugs in my ears but it's fine with me so i can still hear the surrounding sounds when i ride my bike home <> work.
 
I got a pair of these the other day.
Great overall experience, except some bluetooth lag here and there.
 
I bought these and the bluebud X. I prefer the bluebud but powerbeats2 also sound pretty good with some music.
I will keep the powerbeats2 by giving it to the lady since she appreciates the design anyway.
