Excellent audio quality, especially on bass, Great battery life, Good value for money
Hard to put on, Neck cable can be annoyingly ticklish
The Powerbeats (2020) are a classy pair of Bluetooth headphones that will suit runners with a penchant for bass-heavy music. They're good value for money, too.They fit snugly, resulting in solid passive noise isolation and very little chance of them falli...

Good fit, Great battery, Bassy, fun sound,
Bass is too much at times, Can lack clarity and dynamics,
Our performance-per-pound mantra applies to more than just sound quality, and the Powerbeats3 Wireless deliver on form and function, almost without fault. And if that gets you halfway across the purchasing line, we wouldn't let the sound put you off, prov...

Snug fit, Powerful bass kick
Ear hooks slightly awkward to put on, Delicate music lacks warmth
Price-wise these are on the high side for sporty headphones, but they do a fair job of justifying this.They stay on well and achieve a good, snug and largely sound-insulating fit, although clipping on the ear hooks can be a bit awkward. Design is fairly p...

Excellent sound, Great battery life
Not the best fit, Less costly options are available
There's a lot to like here, the sound is great, the battery life is decent and you can adjust the fit to make them snug, even if this doesn't always last...
Great battery life, Solid bass response, Good wireless range
A bit bass-heavy, Fit could be better, High price
The PowerBeats 3 are well-made, long-lasting and with good sound quality, which is a pleasing trio of merit for fitness headphones.The fit is pretty good, and for people with more ‘enclosed' ears likely almost perfect. Some might struggle to get a good se...
Excellent battery life, offering up to 12 hours of listening time also, five minutes of charging will give you a full hour of listening time too, Very easy to set up, especially if you have an Apple device with iOS 10 or above the headphones are automatic
There's no way to use the headphones when the battery runs out, If you wear glasses, you'll struggle with the ear hooks
These are a great pair of wireless in-ear headphones for fitness fans as they stay put during exercise thanks to the adjustable ear hooks. The overall sound is good, although in some genres there was a slightly overpowering bass. They have up to 12 hours...

W1 pairing with Apple products is so convenient, long battery life, secure fit
Bass heavy audio won't be for all, not exactly elegant
The Powerbeats 3 aren't the best in-ears around from an audio perspective, but the fact they keep going and going, stay securely in your ears thanks to those ear hooks and pump the bass will be a huge draw to many. As will the W1 chip's pairing sequence...

Apple W1 chipset boosts range and battery life, Great performance, Comfortable fit
Micro-USB charging, You'll need an iPhone 7 to get the best from it
I've spent ages searching for the perfect sports earphones, but always came up short. Whether it's ill-fitting earbuds, wireless dropouts, or multiple device woes, there's always some sort of letdown. The Beats PowerBeats3 Wireless are the first sports i...
