I love my AirPods, so I was excited to try Powerbeats Pro.
- Powerbeats Pro, the first truly wireless workout headphones from Beats, launched earlier this month.
- I've been using the Powerbeats Pro headphones for about 24 hours now, and I have some thoughts about my experience so far.
- I can definitely see Powerbeats Pro dethroning my current exercise headphones, but I'm not sure if they will become my "everyday" headphones like my AirPods are.

In late March, Apple blog 9to5Mac posted the first pictures of the upcoming Powerbeats Pro wireless headphones, which would eventually be released in the beginning of May.
Those photos of the yet-to-be-announced headphones generated lots of excitement online. It looked like Beats' version of AirPods: totally wireless, but built for exercise (and, presumably, people who like lots of bass in their music). I love my AirPods, so I was excited to try Powerbeats Pro.
Beats was kind enough to send me a review unit this week, and I've had about 24 hours with the wireless headphones so far.
Here are my first impressions of the Powerbeats Pro.
