    9:03 , who’s here after the price drop? Lmao

  3. @DopesownWordSmith on June 26, 2025 at 6:07 pm

    Thanks!

    The power beats were probably the greatest ear buds ever made simply because they never fell out of my ear like everything else did. I lost them years ago and kept chasing that same requirement in everything else from AirPods to the beats fit pros. I’m so happy they finally came out with an updated version with modern features I ordered my pair after the first few minutes of the video

    La verdad prefiero unos Sennheiser por lo q cuesta eso

  6. @BrandonDBaxter on June 26, 2025 at 6:10 pm

    I love my beats, they’ve held up a long timr

  7. @Gufolicious on June 26, 2025 at 6:13 pm

    Bought them based on this review. Long term airpods pro user.
    ANC is basically non existend (at least what im used to)
    The eartips are either slightly to big or to small for me.
    The hook is very unconfortable and the pods are a very bad fit for my ears.
    All in all a total failure for me. Had to send them back and buy a new pair of airpods pro.

  8. @christinecarver1665 on June 26, 2025 at 6:14 pm

    What is the sound quality compared to the original Beats Pro?

  9. @MythicalMimikyu on June 26, 2025 at 6:18 pm

    9:44 it felt ridiculous upon release

  10. @stefanibarrett5982 on June 26, 2025 at 6:19 pm

    Powerbeats pro ARE THE BEST beats for athletes available.
    Better than AirPods which fall out of my ears constantly.

  11. @youngodyssey16 on June 26, 2025 at 6:20 pm

    Nice video, can i use find my to locate the ear buds individually, Or just find the case ?

  12. @BeaverPelt66 on June 26, 2025 at 6:21 pm

    Insanely expensive. Ridiculous

  13. @Eddie55225 on June 26, 2025 at 6:25 pm

    So chat what gen should I get 😭😭😭

  14. @cosmicheretic8129 on June 26, 2025 at 6:25 pm

    A $10 set of IEM’s sounds better than these. They don’t even have LDAC or Aptx-HD support. Hard pass!

  15. @projectinstinct on June 26, 2025 at 6:26 pm

    WOW

  16. @Ulii_says on June 26, 2025 at 6:28 pm

    The hook bug glasses users ?

  17. @YUNGXR1ST on June 26, 2025 at 6:29 pm

    I hope they revamp the beat fit pros, and give the hearing test feature from the AirPod pro 2’s. I love my beats fit pros, but if they released a “2” version, I’d preorder immediately

  18. @Tainopapi93 on June 26, 2025 at 6:30 pm

    If you’re an athlete and use these for working out – these are far superior to AirPods

  19. @Golfexpertbelieveme on June 26, 2025 at 6:32 pm

    So I bought this and they are okay. I have the original ones also. The new ones fit a little bit different. Got to find which ear pieces fit best. But my number one problem is, I am an avid work out person and I love doing an after workout recouperation. So like Sauna, Cold Plunge and hot tub. But these cant go in the sauna like the original ones can. They over heat and disconnect in about 5-7 min every time. I know it says somewhere that you shouldnt use them in the sauna but the original ones work just fine in there. As far as everything else, What Marques says is accurate. I highly recommend to Marques to add testing to things like that when they are a workout piece. Now I have to find a new pair to wear that will work in the sauna so I dont have 20 min of quietness.

    Speed Demon

  22. @gotdirt66 on June 26, 2025 at 6:36 pm

    I dont like how it imports the sound. I want true noise canceling ear buds. I don’t want to hear anything besides the music.

  23. @MFDoomguy21 on June 26, 2025 at 6:36 pm

    YESSSIRRRRR REP THE FUCKING SET

  24. @davidmeza3157 on June 26, 2025 at 6:38 pm

    What about the microphone & call quality quality?

    I’m assuming it’s NOT good as you are sponsored by Beats to only point out the “good”.

    For $250 everything should be great not “good” or “very good”.

  25. @-dimar- on June 26, 2025 at 6:38 pm

    After trying shockz and H2O which I both didn’t like because of terrible audio quality, I ordered soundcore AeroFit 2. Have you tried those?

  26. @jaywatts9836 on June 26, 2025 at 6:40 pm

    Power Beats Pro is the best

  27. @DankScole on June 26, 2025 at 6:40 pm

    All I want to ask is, DID THE FIX THE PROBLEM WITH ONE EARBUD CHARGING WHILE THE OTHER ONE DIDNT? I went through 3 pair in 2 years because of this…

  28. @crypticPk on June 26, 2025 at 6:42 pm

    I wear my power beats pro for work so the long battery life matters.

  29. @dhirgajbhiye06 on June 26, 2025 at 6:44 pm

    5:38 Airplane sound injection: Dope bro! Again one small MKBHD thing!

  30. @diceflawless9115 on June 26, 2025 at 6:44 pm

    Ear hooks are a must with gym buds! I always laugh at the random single airpods I see in the parking lot and random places.

  31. @chefJansenvia on June 26, 2025 at 6:45 pm

    Can I listen just to one at time

  32. @parvamehrotra438 on June 26, 2025 at 6:45 pm

    How is the call quality?

  33. @chefJansenvia on June 26, 2025 at 6:46 pm

    What about for people that wear glasses

  34. @phillipmitchell5899 on June 26, 2025 at 6:48 pm

    Just ordered mine in orange 🔥

  35. @Andrei_M_Af on June 26, 2025 at 6:49 pm

    250 HAAAAA

  36. @sarathkumaraddala1340 on June 26, 2025 at 6:50 pm

    Dual pairing is missing

  37. @freja905 on June 26, 2025 at 6:51 pm

    I usually use Beats Studio pros but carrying them around they take up so much space. Tempted by these for travel

  38. @omark2942 on June 26, 2025 at 6:51 pm

    2:10 Apple should be taking notes from themselves? 😂😅

  39. @joshuawerdiger1214 on June 26, 2025 at 6:52 pm

    how do these compare to their bose or sony counterparts?

  40. @glennkelly4232 on June 26, 2025 at 6:54 pm

    I like how they finally made cases that match the color of the ear buds you purchased. And they’re able to charge wirelessly.

  41. @lecf08 on June 26, 2025 at 6:54 pm

    Personal review between Powerbeats Pro (wired) and Powerbeats Pro 2 is that the wired version – released years ago – has more depth and details. Doesn’t have all the new features but sounds better.

  42. @lucas.5am639 on June 26, 2025 at 6:58 pm

    Everyone I know who has the Gen 1 PowerBeats Pro, myself included, has major charging issues that Apple denied. Sound quality and pairing was amazing. Charging connection was TERRIBLE. Hope they fixed that. I’m skeptical.

  43. @Politicalstrings on June 26, 2025 at 6:58 pm

    You should do a review of the Shokz Dots one buds. I’m a heavy apple/beats user, and these are great.

  44. @Kreatee on June 26, 2025 at 7:00 pm

    How do they compare to the first generation in terms of sound quality and bass?

  45. @stevendarts5466 on June 26, 2025 at 7:01 pm

    Dr Dre had nothing to do with these.

  46. @lilyz646 on June 26, 2025 at 7:01 pm

    I’ve had my Powerbeats pro since fall of 2019. Used em basically everyday from working to working out to even just listening to podcast while doing chores. Only just now broke cuz I left it under a faulty soap dispenser and is now covered in soap and unsalvageable. 100% going to be buying a new pair of these. Can’t wait.

  47. @JuanAguilar_DonJuan on June 26, 2025 at 7:02 pm

    I only use these since I am a blue collar worker. I can’t use AirPods since they fall out since I do intense work. AirPods are for people that rely on us to keep the country moving

  48. @MedusaCharms on June 26, 2025 at 7:02 pm

    This is my favorite earbud in the whole universe.

  49. @aangry0yster on June 26, 2025 at 7:03 pm

    Odd question, but can I sleep in them? I’m looking for a pair of earbuds that I can do everything casual in. Studying, Gym, Chilling, and most importantly, SLEEP. I live with two other roommates and sometimes I find it hard to fall asleep especially earlier into the night. I wear foam plugs but I want to switch so I can play some light rain in my ear to fully block out noise. Would you recommend these for sleep? Any chance they might break? Hope to hear from you even if the video is old. Thanks for the review!

  50. @yaboiimarc9857 on June 26, 2025 at 7:06 pm

    Apple definitely could’ve made these as good or better than the Airpods but they can’t outdo the main line with a secondary line
