Powerbeats Pro Now Available to Order in Over 20 Additional Countries

I love my black ones. Just waiting for the white version for the mrs.

Had Powerbeats Pro for over a month now and can draw some conclusions.

Sound quality: varies depending on a source. For example, on iPhone as conversation progresses quality gets worst to the degree when headphones have to be disconnected to carry conversation still 100% charged. Seems some driver issues.

Dropping connection: audio can abruptly drop for no apparent reason - the source is playing, Bluetooth is shows connected - headphones dead. You need to stop audio, disconnect from Bluetooth, connect again, start audio source to continue listening. Very annoying.

The base: it is too big to put in your pocket, but still small enough to be easily lost - I've already lost the original one - the replacement will leave you $99 short and that if you lucky Apple store will have it. Apparently stores are not ready for this product fully yet and in my case had only one base in their repair shop [lucky me].

Headphone anatomy: describing just my particular case. The "around ear" plastic spring is far from the optimal (for me) and headphones do get pulled out from its place and need periodic adjustment. I wouldn't go for a run wearing them due to high risk of them becoming loose and eventually dropped.

Positive: they are truly water resistant. At least survived one accidental ocean water splash with no downside.

Conclusion: not worthy the price, nor by function, no by quality. Over the ear kind from good brand would deliver more enjoyable experience.

Just got my pair couple days ago, couldn't be happier. Upgraded from Powerbeats 3, no comparison.

Powerbeats Pro is the best true wireless EarPods Apple ever made, especially for sport activities And excellent bass sounds, dethroning AirPods.

Good news. The margins on them must be phenomenal. Beats was such a killer acquisition.

When will they launch the other colors?

Wish these were available with back to school!

Legally, Apple has taken ownership of the third party so that Apple's Accountant King can enjoy the profit from low-quality, celebrity-branded consumer electronic baubles bought by chavs and yuppies with more available credit than available brains.

This is not an Apple product by any non-accounting definition: It has no Apple design, no Apple DNA. It is the opposite of the kind of product that Apple produces, or at least used to produce.

Apple bought a company that was making and selling crap, and has continued to sell the same crap.

That's why I say third party.

If you start off your post with “legally”, then you’re wrong. It shares internals with the AirPods. It has Apple DNA right through it.

And they’re brilliant. I’ve owned a lot of workout headphones over the years and these are the best by far. Brilliant wee things.

This is like the Apple version of Godwin's law.

"As an online discussion about Apple grows longer, the probability of a being told that Steve jobs wouldn't have done it this way approaches 1"

Ditto.. waiting for the ivory color as well.

I was going to go with a blue pair, but from the promo pics it looks like every color except black has a contrasting logo on its button. Only black has a non-obtrusive black logo.
