Apple Powerbeats Pro Unboxing - Better Than AirPods? By Unbox Therapy

Powerboats Pro, it's a big day. You know that battery life sports LeBron James, are you going to recommend these over air pods are these better than air pods? Yes, or no? What yeah? All right? It's been a long time. Actually, since I looked at a pair of beats, this is the latest from the beats brand, of course now in the Apple family, and because it had some benefits to this particular product, it actually behaves a lot like ear. Pods I do have some air pods here. These are the black ones from a recent video. These are done up by color, where no, you can't get them in black, but it kind of makes sense for this comparison.

Since the power beats Pro are in black. These are gonna, be a little more expensive than Apple's air pods, and they have a slightly different design. I think this will be popular for athletes. People who want to have the ear hook on there have a bit more of a secure, fit battery up to nine hours of Wireless play 24 hours with the charging case, sweat and water-resistant, adjustable, secure, fit and on ear controls. One thing I like before I even pop this open, they put the controls on both earbuds, so you can trigger play pause from either side.

Whichever is right for you, so you don't need to remember. Was that button on the left or on the right now, of course, with the Beats products pretty much all of them. The expectation is kind of premium price point like it's 250 bucks. So keep that in mind. The case is bigger.

It's quite a bit bigger than air pods. It's way bigger! Furthermore, it's like six of these air pots. Five! Maybe you pull out the earbud. It fits over the ear like this, and you have interchangeable ear tips as well. This has become the standard for athletic style earphones and for good reason.

You want something lightweight, you want something secure, and you don't want something huge, and you want something sweat resistant well. This has all those components and attributes, so I think eventually, you're going to see a lot of these things at the gym. You're going to see a lot of these things on the basketball court. This is the wireless charge case. There are two contact points on the inside there's also a button on the inside.

Yes, it's a pairing button. Of course, if you have an iPhone when you pop this open, it's gonna, it's going to register to pair immediately, or at least is gonna. Ask you to register to pair because this product is using the h1 chip so to pair it you're, just gonna pop this open, don't remove the earbuds, and then it'll prompt you on your device. If you do have an Android device, these will work as well. You're just going to need to press and hold the pairing button and then pair it like you would any other Bluetooth device.

So, yes, even though beads is part of the Apple brand, this will work with Android devices and various other Bluetooth devices. Now the port on the back. It's not USB type-c, so staying true to the Apple branding like the air pods. This is actually a lightning connector, a black USB cable to charge it up a lightning connector there so kind of unfortunate. If you have a lot of USB type-c components, this has I phone users first their front of mine, and it makes sense because these power beats Pro they're going to be sold in Apple stores are gonna, be they're.

Going to move a lot of Units on Apple's website, so they're going to take care of iPhone users. First, five minute charge equals 1.5 hours of play. Here's a different ear, tip options. This is important, especially for $250 pair of headphones. You kind of have to have this.

You should have this, it's going to be in the ear canal. It's going to fit a bit deeper than the then the air pod does usually what that means. Are you're going to have better bass reproduction because you get a better seal in the ear canal that you just can't achieve with the air pod, but it will also mean that you know putting this thing on and taking it off? It's a bit more of a headache, it's not quite as smooth, so just keep that in mind as well, but that looks like the standard. Medium connector they've also included this two-stage adapter. If you look at that, just before I try these things out, I think it's kind of important to address the size.

I think some people are gonna, think that's a big container, so air pods tiny little dental floss situation. That is obviously it's nothing. You don't even notice it. It's got a barely there kind of situation. If you try to do that with the power beats, the latest power beats Pro, what's going to happen, I mean you're, gonna, see it, but it's doable.

It's not terrible. Actually, it's heavier you're, not gonna, want it. There all day headphones over here phone ready to go it open and look at this. This is really the benefit of this cohesiveness. If you're, an iPhone user, you're really going to appreciate this and how's the installation.

Let's go ahead and try. Oh, I got a little audio tone played in the ear. That's the installation I mean. Obviously it feels super secure. So, in this case, play pause.

Is the beats' logo button right here? It's a physical button. It's not a tap! Furthermore, it's not capacitive I, like the idea of a physical button saying goes for volume, which is on the top here. Hopefully, Kirk can see that this is volume up and down. I can tell already, though, before I even play music, that the seal here is far more substantial in the ear canal, I'm sealed off a little from the rest of the world. So that the experience is more isolating, that might be what you want.

You want to drown out all the coffee-shop noise and/or, the noise at the gym, and things like this. You can understand why you would want that, but then there's the argument for the convenience factor of not necessarily fully closing off the whole world, which is what happens with air pods. That said, I'm going one layer deeper here. A lot of people make the argument, not with those you end up having to crank them up even louder, which is ends up being worse for your hearing, because you're trying to drown out ambience with more volume instead of by sealing off your ear canals, and then you can feed it. Less volume protect your hearing.

A little better, you hear me, Kirk, I'm, gonna, put hit play and then get lost for a minute here. These are hip-hop headphones. Like that's the thing you know they really shine when you feed, when you feed them some bass, they want to eat some bass. You hit it with some hip-hop, and he's its thumping I mean he's doing something that the air pods can't do. I'd, say: I, see less of a significant improvement with kind of classic songs where I was kind of thinking.

I was hoping for maybe a little more like where maybe there wasn't quite as much oomph, but that stuff was mixed differently back then that wasn't they weren't they weren't either mixing for a subwoofer and these things they really replicate the feeling of an actual subwoofer in like a car stereo like it thumps in your head, when you feed it, some hip-hop I'm sure it'd be the same for a lot of pop music, modern music I. Think these things are really tuned for modern music. Based on this experience here, but there's more to this package, I suppose like when you think about what this thing is and who it's for, like my feeling has become just in this. This short exposure to this particular earbud is it's like a package deal type of thing, I, get it the way that people think about beats the brand specifically it's like. Oh I'm, going to pay a lot of money there for that logo, and yes, there is definitely that you get this logo right here.

Look at that. You get to wear that around boom you're going to pay a few dollars period, that's kind of the origin story of the brand. You won't put Dr. Are's name on something prior to being acquired by Apple. It's going to cost you a few bucks and that's just been the case for a while.

So it's never really been about the value proposition. It's never really been about the best value for money. It's been about a package deal of style, sound primarily in the bass department and a convenience factor which in this case is obviously a step better. If you happen to be on iOS, and you can utilize that H chip, just like you can with the air pods, this is gonna- be a popular headphone period, I'm, confident in saying it's going to be a popular headphone, there's just there's just such a huge percentage of the market that wants something just as convenient as I mean I'm. Just speculating right now, like listen to me, talking here, I'm, just guessing, but I assumed, there's a percentage of the market that wants an air pod-like experience with something that will actually stay in their ears with something that has more durability to it with something they feel like.

They can run around jog bike around be more active with because there is a slight lack of confidence with the air pod, even if it fits in your ear, keep in mind once again: I got the black air pod here, color, where custom air pod it just it's in there, I don't feel like I'm going to lose it, but if I got bumped, or you know, took a, don't know if I was playing. Basketball I would not want to have this headphone in this. On the other hand, that would be I feel like I could wear this on the ice playing hockey and that would stay in not that I would do that. That would be a crazy I did to try to play hockey with this on, but like that's, why I'm trying to get it, so it's going to have the distribution it's going to be in the Apple stores. It's going to have the advantage of the enhanced performance on the iOS side.

They're going to sell a lot of them. It's unfortunate. It's got to be $250, but with the air pods already being as expensive as they are. Furthermore, it's kind of like these have to be more money than that. Furthermore, it's imperative and I guess.

Maybe they could have been 200, but they're 250 because their beats, let's just be honest, but they're still going to sell a bunch of them, because they're going to deliver a sound that a lot of people are looking for that they're. Looking for that extended low end, that enhancement on the bass, side, and they're doing it in an overall package deal. That's quite you know, I'm gonna, be honest, that's attractive to me, there's nothing weird going on. Even the logo itself is somewhat subdued, at least on this black model. You don't see it unless it hits the reflection.

Otherwise, it's a matte finish. It's pretty subdued. You got the different ear tips. They're going to sell a boatload of them for the average person. Should you spend 250, you could find a better value out there, but I know based on the experience I've had with the air pods themselves.

There is something to be said: there is a value associated with the ease of use and integration on the iOS side, like that, there's an extended benefit there that's hard to put a price on specifically. So from that standpoint, it's like, where else are you going to get this pack? Where else are you going to get in h1 chip experience with this kind of battery life, with this kind of profile in something that isn't the air pods? That's a step better than the air pods like no offense to the air pods, but they leave you wishing for a little more in a sound Department. What would I mean no offense to the air bus? Do the air pods have feelings? No, they don't have feelings. I said in a previous video when I did the video on the air pods I'm a guy I'm into headphones. I got very expensive, headphones they're all over the place, but I just don't find myself reaching for them as much because they're less convenient in some way, whether they're, huge or there's a cable associated.

They just don't go in the pocket. They there are various ones that are less likely to be charged. This package deal here proved to be so convenient they, even though I had way better sounding headphones. I found myself reaching for these, and this is an extension of that. This is the next step, the convenience factor here it goes down a bit.

You get the bigger package they don't pop in on in and out of your ears quite as easily, but they still have some of that origin story. Some of those convenient elements that come with this and for the time being, that remains an exclusive item for Apple branded and, of course, beats branded via Apple products. So that's something to keep in mind. I! Think they're, going to sell a bunch of them. If you want a slick package, if you're happy with the branding, if you want to rep the B on the side, if you like a lot of bass, you can be happy.

You got to pay to play in this department. No jokes! They don't let you in the front door without 250 to be clear. You hear me Kirk, 250, that's the ticket to get in the door! Alright front row, seats, Raptors in the playoffs game, 6 coming soon, let's go Raptors.
