The toilet test isn't realistic. I miss pee and poo.

I thought about giving the Powerbeats Pro a try for running, but I want to know that they'd hold up over time with sweat, rain, etc. I'm not willing to gamble $250.

I ran with a pair of earbuds that came with an iPod Shuffle for four years through every type of condition, even putting them through the washing machine a few times. Talk about durability!

I have the Power beats 3 and they work great been in the rain out here in AZ on trails & our light rail they have worked flawless for last 2 years. I can only imagine these will be better.

Apple owns the company now so I’m sure quality has increased.

you cant make that assumption just because apple bought them. apple is exactly at the top of their game quality wise

Show me where you can find a $10, $20, or even $50 pair of totally wireless Bluetooth headphones.

Amazon is your friend. I have a pair of "totally" wireless Bluetooth headphone which I bought from there for $50 and they sound incredible.

Despite not having a waterproof rating, I've run and biked through lots of sweat and rain with AirPods and never had an issue. I could only assume that these would be better.

I've swam with mine without issue, but YMMV.

What if you drop it into an unflushed toilet that's still full of poo? Cleaning duty is not fun.

$150 bucks or not fun cleaning duty. Take your poison.
