Apple's Upcoming 'Totally Wireless' Powerbeats Pro Earphones Begin Appearing on Billboards

[routine_analyst]

Has this product even been announced? What the heck is going on here?

 

[3rdiguy]

I wonder can we use one of them at a time like AirPods. That would be a win. I like the black and like another poster mentioned, these are the black “AirPods “

 

[iReality85]

Are they sure they will be released?

*shake shake shake*

I like the ear loops. I'm always afraid I'll lose airpods, so I've avoided buying them. But these are a definite maybe.

Me too. The Apple earpods don't fit me and I assume they are virtually the same size as the airpods. Both airpods and Powerbeats version are priced way to high though.

 

[Enclavean]

Really hope the case supports wireless charging like the new AirPods case does

 

[Gudi]

Do you really not know the reach and influence of Beats?

The Reebok of headphones.

Glad I held off on Airpods 1.5. Plus these would replace my use case for both my original Airpods and BeatsX.

Same here, I've been waiting for the longest to upgrade my 3's and prayed they would come out with truly wireless Powerbeats.

You've actually been praying for this?

Good to see this, I was wondering when they would distribute their airpod technology elsewhere. I won't be buying, but this should cut out tons of other random workout headphones that are in the market.

This will be the silver bullet for some. I prefer not jamming things into my ear canals, so I love my AirPods.

I'm on the other end of the ear spectrum... love "jamming things in my ear canal." I'm still rocking old wired etymotic mc5 because they go into the ear canal. This way they are secure and don't come out when I'm running. It also provided some degree of noise isolation.

 

[ChrisMoBro]

I can’t help but laugh every time I see someone on here bragging about the sound quality on their AirPods

 

[jcb10]

Might want to check your headline. Billboard say "totally" wireless, not "truly."

 

[hiphopdan]

Coming in May for $250 via the verge

 

[csurfr]

Press release is out. 249.00. Coming in May. 4 colors.

Looks legit

The case does not support wireless charging.

 

[dan9700]

Never liked the sound from any beats headphones at all

 

[iSayuSay]

I personally prefer something like BeatsX.. making it totally wireless with earhook and silicone buds, less sporty looking than Powerbeats, but with more snug fits and noise isolation compared to AirPods. That’d be my ideal earbuds.

 

[bigjnyc]

The loop is a dealbreaker for me. Makes the powerbeats so cumbersome and awkward to put on... Plus it makes the headphones look clunky and awkward in the case as well.

first world prayers

 

[BODYBUILDERPAUL]

Ewwwww how horrible - huge tacky billboards right next to people's homes! I bet little Eddy Cue would be the first to moan if we stuck sh*tty Beats headphones ads on his home!
Very poor taste!

 

[TheShadowKnows!]

Say whatever you want while keeping that anti-Beats bias, but these do look good, and avoid mercifully the douche look. Prediction (without proof): these will sell out like gangbusters.

somebody should have rolled that banner instead of folding it.
