Beats Pro or Airpods Pro

[Ugene425]

Both these retail at the same price (£219) and I’m wondering which to buy, mainly to be used for outdoor running.

Running yesterday it started to rain and neither are waterproof, rather water resistant.

I prefer the look of the APP and they don’t have the hook which goes round your ear. This looks to be uncomfortable after a while.

Any suggestions/advise would be welcomed.

Thank you.

The Powerbeats pro and not the solo pro I assume. I own both and I prefer the SQ and the hooks and battery life but the APP is great as well. I usually use my APP or the Sony WH-1000XM4 for most of my daily use these days

I use my Power Beats Pro all night and do not find them uncomfortable in the morning.
I listen to sleep soundscapes or audiobooks.

Thanks. I prefer to not have the hook around the ear as this will cause discomfort for me. I’d prefer the design of the APP which just pop into ones ear. I wonder whether it’s worth holding out for the replacement model? I ran this morning and it was pouring = I didn’t take any earphones!

I am also considering either one just wanted to see what people who own them think about them, I want something that doesn't fall out of my ear and don't move around plus of course good sound quality for music as well as audio books.

I forgot to add it for walking the dogs and for exercise in side as well as the treadmill. They both cost around $325.00 Canadian so I wanted to make sure they are what I want before spending that much money.

For running, the PowerBeats are a no-brainer. I would not even consider the APP for running, they fall out.

To some they fall out sure but not to all. My airpods second gen was ace on runs.

My APP fall out all the time. it's awful. Finally pulled the trigger on some memory foam ear tips. hope they work

I have both, for me there's no comparison between the two for running, or any exercise for that matter; the PBP are superior. I also much prefer the SQ from them, but I do love the noise cancelling on the APP. Really wish Apple would release a PBP with NC, that would be perfection IMO.

I've been thinking of getting the PBP but I'm concerned they would feel uncomfortable while wearing glasses.

This is definitely one of those things you need to try for yourself.

I used to run with AirPods (the first generation) before I lost them somewhere in a manner irrelevant with exercise, and they never fell out. Others say they do fall out. Our ears are all different after all.
