See? Look how good the Powerbeats Pro look in your ear.
- Apple-owned Beats introduced the Powerbeats Pro wireless earbuds back in April.
- They're Beats' first truly wireless earbuds, and they have a revamped design and better battery life than past Powerbeats headphones.
- They do have some downsides: namely, a clunky charging case and a lack of long-term comfort.
- But I've been using the Powerbeats Pro for going on two months, and they've quickly become my favorite headphones.

If you don't own AirPods at this point, it's probably for one of four reasons:
- You don't own an iPhone, and you don't buy into the Apple ecosystem.
- AirPods are too expensive.
- AirPods don't fit your ears.
- You think AirPods look truly stupid.
Well, Apple's cooler, hipper younger sister is here to help with at least a few of those reasons.
Enter the Powerbeats Pro, the first fully wireless earbuds from Beats. They look a lot like Powerbeats of years' past, without the pesky cord connecting them or the clunky, plasticky design. The new Powerbeats are the more sophisticated, more stylish, and more modern version of their predecessors, and they're also an excellent alternative to AirPods in more ways than one.
