PowerBeats 2 Wireless Review + Giveaway!

2014-09-12
what's going on everyone add ravage consumer and today I finally have a review for you guys of the powerbeats2 Wireless so let's not waste any time let's get right into it alright guys here we have the powerbeats2 Wireless this is beats upgraded version of the original power beats these however now come is Bluetooth earbuds and cost 50 dollars more than the original landing it at $200 as you'd expect from beats these are pretty expensive but let's see if it's worth your hard earned cash first let's talk about the design this resembles the first power beats but now has a simpler and in my opinion much better look here you can see I have the black and red version but a white and grey option is also available the body of the powerbeats2 has a matte finish while the ear hooks are made of a rubber material you also have a tangle free cable that keeps the earbuds together and also houses the remote talk control the control itself has a soft coating which pretty much fits with the feel of the entire headset the power beats are pretty smooth to the touch with their rubber parts and matte finish but they have a good solid feel in the hand one of my favorite things about the power beats 2 is the fact that it doesn't feel cheap I'm definitely a fan of the design and build quality you can also find the power button on the left ear piece but I've had trouble knowing when I actually press the button because it's so flesh within the body under the body you'll find the flap that gives you access to the micro USB port for charging if I could change anything about the design it'd be raising the power button a bit and having the ability to move the ear hooks while they do offer some give the base of the hooks do not move at all I would have liked for it to be adjustable so it'd be easier to get a fit when worn this isn't a deal-breaker though there are also 2 pieces attached to the wire so you can adjust the fit if you're looking for something a bit more secure and speaking of getting a good fit this is where the power beats to have failed me or maybe my ears fail them I don't know even with the hooks I had a pretty hard time keeping the buds locked in place they indeed help the bud from falling out of my ear but they didn't help to keep them in this is where I can shift the blame to my ears I've always had a little trouble keeping normal ear buds something like the Apple earpods in my ears due to having a slightly odd shape that can't hold them up now you might be wondering why even tell us this if your ears are to blame but I wanted to tell you guys that even with the ear hooks involved you're not guaranteed to have a perfectly secure fit if you plan on picking these up and you do definitely make sure the ear buds will stay in place when moving around before it's too late to return them there's nothing worse than buying a pair of ear buds that won't stay in your ear but now let's talk about some of the features these are of course Bluetooth earbuds so you can use them wirelessly to listen to audio with any Bluetooth enabled device these also have some surprisingly good range so you don't need to hug your device to listen to your music it features a remote torque control that you can use to control volume play and pause music as well as go to your next and previous track by double clicking and triple clicking the play button respectively you can also take calls with this as most bluetooth headsets allow but one of my favorite features is the fact that it's water and sweat resistant these are geared towards athletes and those who live an active lifestyle so sweat is a common issue with earbuds like these you don't have to worry here as you can see I've worked out vigorously with these and sweat was not an issue at all since its water resistant you can also use this in the rain which is always nice the power beats run on about 6 hours of battery life for audio playback which is two hours less than I'm used to with the Jaybirds bluebloods X but I tend to charge my device pretty often so that hasn't really been a concern for me the powerbeats2 offers a quick charge feature that allows you to charge the device for 15 minutes and you'll get an hour of battery life perfect for a quick trip to the gym the power Peaks come with a short USB cable three extra ear tips and a travel case as accessories it's pretty unfortunate but the case doesn't have a pouch included so all the accessories can easily fall out if you try to take them with you but it does offer solid protection due to having a hard shell but let's finally get to what you guys are here for the sound quality this is one of the most confusing parts to me about the pyro beats line I find that I really like the sound quality when I have a good seal with the ear tips the bass is present vocal sound clear and nothing comes off to me as muffled I can't stress enough how important a good seal is when looking to get the best sound quality in ear buds can offer this was a complaint I had with the original power beats but I was quickly told that this was due to athletes needing to hear their surroundings while that makes sense for athletes it doesn't make sense when you're looking for the best sound quality from in ear buds you lose out on quite a bit of bass with this kind of design and honestly it seems like the design contradicts what it's meant for my solution for this was to use bigger ear tips I don't have bigger ears but ear tips can dramatically change the quality of the sound as they directly impact the seal in your ears all in all the sound quality is definitely there and when I forced the seal I definitely enjoyed it but having to force the seal all the time definitely wasn't a good experience for me at $200 this could be a good or bad investment depending on whether or not these fits securely in your ears and provide you the right seal I think the design durability Bluetooth ability and the sound are definitely on point but the comfort and fit from all of that because it can cause your experience to be very lackluster if it's not good I really like these earbuds and I'm sure if you pick them up you'd like them as well but I highly suggest that if you have any comfort issues like I had to send them back trust me in your buds are not a product you can compromise comfort with especially at $200 and that pretty much wraps up my review but I know you guys are wondering what's the giveaway thing about in the title so let me tell you about it now you want to know about that giveaway right
