Powerbeats High-Performance Wireless Bluetooth Headphones – Black – MWNV2LL/A (Renewed)

Still working 4 years later
I bought these in 2020 and they are still working as well as when I bought them. Long battery life, easy to connect with phone, sound quality good and simple controls.

Would not purchase again.
These items are supposed to be refurbished. However, the headphones I received, do not hold the charge. Went on the phone, I was told that there is an echo from them, so they don’t work. So clearly, they are not refurbished. Also, they were received in a no brand box, with no instruction manual so we had to figure out how to try to use them on our own. The charger cable I have never seen in my life, And it does not have compatibility with any outlet. Not happy with this purchase.

Solid earbuds, excellent connection to Apple devices
First of all, as Renewed earbuds, these are functionally excellent. I don’t observe any degradation in battery life from new, and they function 100% properly. That said, I’m MUCH less happy about the fact that my pair were either chewed by a small animal or maybe briefly dropped in a garbage disposal, or possibly hit by bird shot: pretty obvious indentations on three sides of the main body of the left earbud. But, again, they function (seemingly) perfectly, so my complaint is only one of aesthetics and full disclosure on the part of the vendor, no strike to the manufacturer.On functionality: the ease and solidity of connection between these earbuds and Apple devices is a revelation. I’ve only ever had 3rd party Bluetooth devices, never native Apple accessories, and it really is another level of connectivity. This is most particularly clear on Zoom calls, where these earbuds seem to have significantly more “bandwidth” than any 3rd party headphones I’ve used. I will often have Spotify playing instrumental music softly in the background during long Zoom calls just for my own peace of mind, which seemed to be causing laggy interruptions with the 3rd party earbuds I’ve used, but when I switched to these mid-meeting, those issues cleared up right away. So what I have experienced as wifi/internet connectivity issues in the past may actually have been my earbuds. Who knew? These Powerbuds are far superior in that regard, they pair extremely fast and foolproof, and they switch between Apple devices seamlessly. Very high marks in that regard.These earbuds sound quite good for casual listening, as far as earbuds go (they’re not reference monitors; you gotta have reasonable standards), very clear and even frequency response, nothing that sticks out and jabs your eardrums. I’m told the voice quality of the mic on calls is pretty decent. Overall these sound entirely reasonable for their price point—I’ve heard much worse. Worth noting: likely owing to the particularities of my ears, I don’t get a good seal from the tips without *really* cramming them in there, which is about as uncomfortable as you’d imagine. Not a big deal for daily use—and I’d argue it’s much safer to have some noise bleed in from the outside world if you’re wearing these out and about—but if you need a noisy environment really sealed out (I can see this being an issue on airplanes, for instance) you *may* have an issue with these.On comfort: I have somewhat peculiar ear canals, and only one of the included pair of tips is even remotely comfortable, and even that’s a bit of a stretch for long-term use. If I use them for several hours back-to-back for a few days in a row, my ears definitely get a bit sore. Again, this is unique to everyone, and I’ve only ever found one pair of earbuds yet that fit really comfortably out of the box; your mileage may vary, and aftermarket tips are an option i plan to explore as well.(By the way, if you happen to have ears that are somewhat odd in the particular ways mine are, for the record I’ve found the Monoprice TWE-04 earbuds to be VERY comfortable to wear, with a great noise seal. Just throwing that out there.)One more word on fit: the over-ear loop makes these things *entirely* secure to wear. I don’t think anything short of someone physically grabbing the cord between the buds would cause them to fall out unexpectedly. And for those of you wondering, I can also comfortably wear glasses/sunglasses (even some with chunky Wayfarer-style temple pieces) with these buds. Again, high marks in this category. (BTW the trick I use to get these on one-handed is to start with them rotated forward by about 90° from their usual wearing position, inserting the tip into the canal in a downward and inward motion, while using a couple fingers to tuck the loop behind your upper ear, then rotating the earbud rearward to get the tip seated in the canal. There’s a learning curve, but it *is* possible.)Overall, I like these a lot, with a couple caveats. Their ease and security of wear and superior functionality win the day by a good margin, and outweigh the issue of less-than-perfect comfort.But seriously, maybe let a buyer know if you’re selling something that’s been pre-chewed by a puppy.

Not so pleased!
My previous pair work great!I replaced them because the tubing over the wires had braking off.I decided to purchase same kind, same color but this second pair is not the same.The earbuds are lighter in weight, they feel hollow and appear to be completely plastic. The connectivity to my iPhone is hit or miss.I’m grateful I still have my older pair, they look “bad” but work just fine. I am disappointed with this purchase!

The sound reproduction is audiophile quality and you can’t beat the price. I like these better than the pro version. Better battery. Harder to lose one. They pound and they sound amazing at low volume somehow the bass is still prominent.

Si tu finalidad es tener unos audífonos que te duren para todo y preferiblemente, tienes un producto de Apple, estos audífonos son para ti, los recomiendo si es que nada más piensas tener unos audífonos y en general en todo en todo tienen una calificación de ocho, por lo cual yo los considero una opción excelente para las personas que quieren un artículo que sepa a vainilla ya que se lleva bien en todos los terrenos.Quiero reiterar el que es un producto que tiene la calificación de ocho, y más si tienes un producto de la manzana ya que va a ser compatible con ecosistema, y eso en mi caso es fabuloso. puede ser qué unos audífonos como unos Blon 03 sean mejores y una 10ª de su precio, pero creo que por todas las facilidades que te ofrece entre su duración de batería, materiales y calidad de audio. Es un producto excelente para hacer un único audífono superando en comodidad, duración de batería a unos AirPods.

Me gusto el producto, sin fallas
