I got my PowerBeats Pro in yesterday, which I was very excited for because I loved the PowerBeats 2's, but hated the 3's because I thought they sounded terrible. With Apple stating that they focused so much on getting great sound out of the Pro's, I was very optimistic that these would be great.
Unfortunately, the audio on them is just really bad. I'm comparing the audio to the Airpods 1 and 2 (which I own). The audio is no where near the quality that it is on the Airpods. It just sounds hollow, and honestly its not nearly as loud as the AirPods. It honestly sounds exactly like the sound on the PowerBeats 3, which I found tinny and just overall poor.
What's sad about this is how great the feel and fit is of the PowerBeats Pro. The AirPods fit great in my ears as well, but I was just hoping for something with a little more ooomph in the sound, and I also loved the design of the Pro's. The fit and secure feel of them is the best I've ever felt in wireless headphones, but this poor sound quality is just killing them for me.
I'm not getting rid of them yet and will continue testing them, but thus far the audio quality is a major let down for me. I really don't want to return them because they look and feel so great to wear, but I'm just not sure that alone justifies the high price tag when the AirPods sound so much better to me.
