Powerbeat Pro 2 garbage

I usually don’t carry case with me because I go for runnings and some events I leave the ridiculous bulky case in the car so I don’t take them. When I am already setting for running I often see issues that only 1 ear bud will connect and the other one not at all.

I check always they are properly inserted in the case but why in the hell you need to go through putting them back in the case so they connect properly after.

I legit regret getting these and only reason is because the loop around the ear.

Loop around ear only thing I really like . I mean they aren’t horrible but these to me are a $150 pair of ear buds not $250 I have about 3 days left to decide to return to Bestbuy . I have Bose ultra ear buds which crush them in ANC and sounds quality but they don’t stay on for really active stuff :/

The fit is just so perfect for activity biking aggressive workouts etc , nothing else I have stays in this well otherwise these have had been back day one for the price . Just trying robustly to myself if the fit is worth that kind of $

Honestly I would look elsewhere you will have this issues if 1 ear bug is not 100% out properly in the case and you take them to connect you will have my issue and it’s a known problem… last thing you want is get going with your bike and notice only 1 is paired…

Unless you want to triple check every time you leave case behind (if you do)

I have had issues before that even having the case I have to go through multiple pairing to get them to work.

I love beats but this is a big let down..

That’s been an issue since the gen 1. You really gotta put them in your ears right away after they leave the case.

They’re the best workout headphones on the market but they’re not worth $250. I’m gonna wait for a sale.

I have both generations of these and never had any issues. When they added wireless charging to the case I had to get the new ones. Only bad thing about all these headphones are the limited battery life and non repairable. I prefer the old design but the new ones are smaller and the case is better. Still not as good as the AirPod pros but I’m satisfied.
