    One thing you didn’t mention is since you have kids, can you pair both to an Apple TV 4K at the same time (since all are BT 5.0)? Right now my wife and I share one pair of AirPods. It would be nice if we could each use our own pair so we can watch TV while the kids are sleeping.

    Don’t know about the powerbeats but do know about the airpods…I got rid of mine and got the sabbat E12 tws…they are better than airpods in comfort, sound, overall look and fitment, power charging and playback time…the airpods were better in call sound, functionality (it can just do a few extra things) an that was about it. Beng that price of the E12 are a 1/3 of the price of the airpods and better than them, why would you buy airpods!?

    2:31 captures her beauty perfectly. She is as elegant as a delicate lilly floatung in a serene pond. I think i have a crush on you…..

    I have them both. Airpods I have them all the time with me and the Powerbeats Pro I use them when riding my bike and on hikes.

    I really liked the format of this video. ????

      Limza Nat they are very confortable on and very secure I used to ride with BeatsX and sometimes one will come loose. Well that don’t happens with the Pros. Call quality is good. Since I have first gen Airpods I didn’t had always on Hey Siri and now that I have them on the Pros I really like it super convenient so I don’t have to take my hands of the handles for anything.

    After my Powerbeats Pro preorder got cancelled, I’ve been waiting for restocks. Why announce a product and not have it available for weeks…

    I don’t understand why people are acting like this is new technology. Bluetooth earpieces have been around forever

    black powderbeats looks like a “hearing aid device” I would definitely go with other colors

    AirPods is better when you’re near somebody, because you can put it or put it out easily
