I have these in black, got them about 2 weeks ago for the gym. Waaaay better than the AirPods for my ears. The latter are too big, cause lots of pain and just fall out. I love the PB Pro, it just plain works, sounds great and is comfy for hours.

If you can't replace the batteries I don't think I want them. Not gonna get roped into a 'headphone subscription'. My two year old AirPods give me about 40 minutes tops before they start giving low battery warnings.
Sounds like your AirPods have a defect. Go get them replaced.

What exactly is 'Pro' about these things?
I would say the sound quality is way superior to AirPods. Also the comfort is hands down the best I’ve ever had for in-ear headphones. I used to run with JayBird X3’s and it was a pain to keep the headphones in my ear, they would always fall out. I also had AirPods and I don’t understand the love for them.. awful sound quality and they hurt my ears after 20 minutes of wear. Powerbeat Pro’s are legit and worth the money. A little annoyed it took this long for the rest of the colors but whatever, I’m not that pressed about it.

I picked black because it was my fav color of the options. It interested in changing at all but blue looks good too.
 
What's wrong with that statement? What about it makes it BS?

What's wrong with the statement is the word 'nothing':- "We listened to real athletes and we heard that nothing was more important than sound" is the fact that to athletes there are a multitude of things more important than sound, for example fitness, strength (physical and mental), diet, focus, discipline and recovery are all more important than sound.
Music can help with focus but to say nothing is more important than sound is in my opinion BS.

I'm a little surprised that Apple didn't release these new colours with matching coloured cases.
Not a biggie of course, but they used to be pretty big on the aesthetics of little details like this.
 
Batteries can be replaced but it’ll cost a few quid (that’s dollars/pounds/dinar/euro/roubles/yen/yuan) depending on your location. Currently €55 each here in Ireland (https://support.apple.com/en-ie/airpods/repair/service).

So, what are the chances that there’ll be iPhones to match these colours next month? Zero?

What about WATCH bands? 50-50?
Yeah, I doubt they will. But then again I usually have a case on mine anywho.
 
You will not regret the purchase if you use headphones while being active. If you want a color other then black, yes, return them.

Every article on beats has the haters. It’s as if they live for trash talking.

I’m excited to buy the white ones for my fiancé so I can get my black ones back for good!

Did you do the survey? Maybe the number 1 response on a majority of responses was sound? You really don’t know. So bold whatever words you want. At the end of the day you really are just guessing. You are just trying to be contradictory.

So you think real athletes would answer an apple survey and say sound is more important than fitness in their chosen field of athletics, come on you don't really believe that do you?

I was getting my phone replaced in my local Apple store the other day and the blue shirt helping the chap next to me was wearing these.

Not just wearing them, but wearing them while dealing with customers.

What a cock.


And would your response be the same if he was wearing airpods?

The price tag.

Post link of user replaceable battery models that are similar.

I’ve tried these, really great gym headphones, but I retuned them. Will def. purchase for good once I catch them on sale for $180-200.
Are they still bass heavy like the original and 2's?

I believe that you don’t know what the survey showed. You thinking that you do is the unbelievable part.

Me too. I didn't even realize the other color options weren't available when I bought mine. I don't like the contrasting "b" on the colored ones - too kitchy for my taste. Love my PB Pros!

I do like the way the navy ones look. But i'll probably end up just getting black...

Which headphones have replaceable batteries?

I have X3s. Don't tempt me [wallet]
 
I’ve majored in marketing actually. Nothing sounds appealing about “moss”.
Kate's mum would like to talk to you...

No - bassy, but not overwhelmingly so...in fact not at all the signature Beats sound...not flat either, but far more balanced.
I thoroughly enjoy the sound signature from mine and I listen to a wide variety of music/spoken word audio

Perhaps he was using the hearing aid function. Way to judge someone for being a cock.
