For all the bass heads out there use the largest earbud tips.. creates a good seal and I’d say it increases bass by at least 40%. Also having them angled up more vertically rather then horizontally greatly improves bass.

[@marcusj4467]

Agree

[@azwsxcdev]

So true

[@jaredscott547]

I can't believe how much this improved my beats. Thank you!

[@mistymornings]

You have the most calming voice. Please never stop making videos. Maybe start a podcast too!

[@brendacrawford260]

I really love mine , I,ve had them for over a month now and no complaints

[@cartio1163]

I bought mine for $210 (discount) and they gave me an open pair of Powerbeats. I didn’t realize until I was home and watched videos about it. Idk what to do and idk if it’s as good as an unopened pair.

[@d3vang3lo]

Just bought my pair from my local AT&T store. I’m very happy with my decision. I mainly chose them for their extended battery life between charges compared to AirPods

[@SuperMario127.]

The light in the case will turn red when the battery level falls below 40%.

[@crockerlw6]

Thank you!!!!

[@Gmez759]

@Cesar Benitez yes when its charging lol

[@Shortbus1956]

Just what the doctor ordered. Easily syncs with multiple phones and iPad. I've bought over 20 different headsets, and now I have the perfect one.

[@Ohkeh640]

Hell yeah

[@VICENTE760]

just bought mine today!!! so satisfied but only after a few minutes of playing music, the bluetooth connection continued to fail. It took me about 20 minutes to research online to find out how to reset my headphones and now they work perfectly again!!! other than that scare 10/10

[@nataliemarinos8919]

THANK YOU!!! Didn’t know that about the hearing, appreciate you making this video!

[@Icee617]

I own these in black, I also own the AirPod Pros. I use my AirPods when I’m working and out and about, I use my Powerbeats when I’m laying in bed watching KZbin just as I am now and I love them, only complain I have is the bulky case but the headphones themselves are great.

[@sebas.4697]

Bro I use my beats to workout because it has the strap that makes it impossible to fall😂

[@KimchiJerry]

Just bought these and I love them! Except at first they squeezed my ears but then they adjusted to my ear. I have the Powerbeats 3 and I notice the difference in sound. I use them to work out and I love it! I used to use AirPods but they hurt my ears after like 20 minutes and the sound quality isn’t good. These Powerbeats pro sound quality is made for hip hop because the bass is well pronounced and the highs and mids are present as well. Well done beats 👏

[@bushy75]

Nice ! When people phone you, what button do you press to pick up? I’m getting mine tomorrow!

[@KimchiJerry]

Bush Man I press the right button! Nice you’ll love them and music sounds great 👍

[@bushy75]

[@CHenshawYT]

Never knew about Live Listen and I’ve been using IOS products for like 9 years. Thank you!

[@tothnorbert1233]

Best Bluetooth earphones for workouts! Those hooks are perfectly keep in your ear while you do exercises

[@222222e]

The only thing I hate is they’re stuck to you needing to have your case around. But these are some of the best headphones due to quality and not getting the glitches I used to get from my old beats.

[@Eddyhouse1845]

You don’t, they have 9 hour battery life, you’d be fine if that’s such a hassle

[@markdejczak6781]

There should be a way to disable the large powers beats button. Bought these to wear with my ski helmet. The Siri integration is amazing but Amy little move of your head and the ear flaps on the helmet press the button and either pause your music, change the song or shut them off completely. Brutal.

[@xxdropdeadxx6679]

Just got mine today bought them cause I work out doors I had the regular power beats but didn’t like the wire haha so far love it

[@crazyrichwumao]

I got the Powerbeats Pro today. I forget why I was here but damn Andrew, you have the cleanest hands on KZbin ever.

[@KevinRodriguezYT]

Crazy Rich Wu Mao hows ur powerbeats pro?

[@thejournalist8091]

Crazy Rich Wu Mao How are your Powerbeats now?

[@crazyrichwumao]

@@thejournalist8091 still awesome. i use them everyday walking to school or going to the gym. they're my excuse for walking more. instead of taking the bus to school, i just just gets up earlier and walk. the hook fits perfectly even with my glasses on. i do a lot of box jump at the gym and these stayed on tight. the only issue i have is the mic. i talk to my friends when i go for a long walk, and the mic doesn't pick up my voice as strong as it should. may be because i have long hair, but other than that, powerbeats pro is awesome. highly recommended.

[@brianpatterson976]

You can tap the right or left button twice to skip tracks forward or backwards

[@Blaugrana-rf7sv]

So ease to understand no complaints, congratulations u do me conection fast.. am new subscriber.👍🏻

[@Pigmanhunter-oh6zj]

For me, the charging prongs in the case don't perfectly go in, that's why it automatically shuts and charges. If your Powerbeats don't fit in the prongs perfectly then when it closes, it goes in

[@Tonvy_]

ima buy these over the AirPod pros

[@JuanRomero-fz4yf]

Bro thanks you help me a lot cause I just got powerbeats

[@harrigro]

When they are inside the case go they charge if not connected to power supply?

[@anthonysavage7309]

I got these when they first came out. I got the AirPods Pro in 2020. And realize I rarely use the AirPods Pro vs the power beats pro. Even when I’m not active. (Intense workouts and all).

[@theangryrktkt8385]

I don’t understand why my right ear pod stops working after two or three months. I am on my fourth pair now

[@sk8freshcst]

same here.. and when i tried getting a new pair they inspected mine and determined there was nothing wrong with them. so annoyingg

[@EZedp]

The sound it OK on the Powerbeats Pro, but not very loud at the highest volume setting. Any ideas on how can I get higher volume? I was thinking of getting better earbuds that stick more in the ear to see if this works...

[@Basil-YT-]

In accessibility you can turn up the base volume up to 120%

[@jdwilliams202000]

How do I know if my Powerbeats pro is updated? It doesn’t let me see anything but the update number. Which the new update number isn’t listed anywhere?

[@i3lxck_stxrs106]

Funny story: I got some for Christmas 2020. Yes the crappiest year ever yet somewhat lucky personally for me. I wore them on WhatsApp video call and on discord video call. Friend: OMG ARE YOU OKAY?! Me: Uhhhh yeah, why wouldn’t I be? Friend: GIRL YOU LITERALLY HAVE HEARING AIDS!!!! Me: ;-; Uhm they’re Powerbeats wireless *silence* *laughter for 10 mins*

I have just pick up my Powerbeats but haven some problems with it. Is there a way to hard reset the Powerbeats. I work with iOS 13 but i have only the high and no low sounds with my music, and when i steam from KZbin it’s only high i cant adjust them by my equalizer.. please let me know if you now how to reset or hard reset

[@sydneytaylorjordan7840]

@AppleInsider this is great, but how do I turn them off? Or are they supposed to perpetually remain in their case when not in use?

Helpful--thanks!

My phone doesn’t have the card pop up, but other phones that connect to the same powerbeats do. I have an iPhone 7 and it never haves the powerbeats pro card

Kwan Don no, it’s not there

[@rudysigala8165]

Isn’t there an app for these headphones??

[@44nebuchadnezzar]

Had mine for two days now. I’m not a fan of “Hey Siri” (scarred from my 6S days that I think “battery waste while its listening to me always”), that I don’t have it enabled. No big deal. Simply long hold down the “b” button on either earbud and that will elicit Siri. Not hands free per se but at least you don’t have to reach for your phone.

[@kirkmorrison1870]

The beam forming microphones make "Hey Siri" dramatically more potent. She can hear me speaking in a normal voice even in a decent headwind now.

[@KevinRodriguezYT]

No connection issues?

[@juderowland1078]

Find my iPhone for power beats?

[@megandavisrealtor8411]

[@mrfish1419]

If you are on android you can lower your notification volume, amd leave your media volume up, not sure how it works on apple

[@prettyangel6twenty8]

Heyyyyyyyyy! Thanks so informative! I’ve been researching maybe you can help; Wondering if my wireless beats are fully charged BUT my case needs to be charged SHOULD I remove my wireless beats before charging case??? Please ANYONE HELP! Thanks 😊

[@ephraimisrael7461]

Had these for quite some time. 0 issues to state. But for the life of me. Does anyone know how yo playback a song. I know if you double tap it will skip to the next track. But what about going back to a previous song…. Any help Is appreciate.

[@ThisLIFEisR]

Do they automatically turn on and off?

[@brandonmorreale596]

Hey I got a very important question and can’t find the answer anywhere, so I don’t wanna mess up my battery and I know for some devices you should wait till they fully die to charge them. So is it safe to put them in the case after every use, or should I wait till the battery is dead on the ear buds to change them back up, i know this is a little problem but I got bad luck with stuff like this so I rather be safe then sorry, if anyone has the answer or has any idea please let me know. Thank you.

[@zanehakim7684]

Yes it is

Are you able to shut these off without putting them back in the case?

[@ssaint_xavi]

kayla sanchez Omg I have been trying to find out how too

[@KaylaSan97]

ForeverByulharangCheshireOnceCaratExolArmyLandLink I figured it out, YOU CANT!!! they’re always one. You can take them out your ears and leave them out of the case but they’ll still be on and the battery will drain. So you can either let them die out or always charge them 🙄

[@gloriaac9958]

🤔 wonder if the Beats Studio buds can connect to live listening on iPhone

[@tjford9128]

I have two phones I carry, work & personal. I connected these to both phones individually. If I’m listening to a music from one device, will I be alerted of any notifications on the work device? Just bought these and for the price this seems like a silly question. Thanks

Is there a setting so that it will play your surrounding sounds through the speakers along with your music for like riding a bike where you want to listen to your music but you also want to be able to hear if there is a car coming or something. I know there are open ear headphones specifically for that, but I would really like to be able to have one pair that I can use like that or use to block out all my surrounding sounds for studying somewhere or something
