Review on 🎧 Renewed Beats by Dre Powerbeats High-Performance Wireless Earphones - Red - MWNX2LL/A by Daniel Hicks

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Poor sound quality (IMO) but good battery life, fit and build quality

The product itself is fine. I used to have Powerbeats 3 for work which I lost in a house fire last year but I'm in the process of replacing them. In comparison, they have a much better sound. However, the EQ on it is so outlandish that it's very distracting. It's fine for workouts, and if you just need to pierce your ears with bass then it's fine. Very, very exaggerated bass, literally zero mids and lots of highs. Know that you are buying bass boost headphones when you pick them up. Compared to my usual listening to flat AT m50x, slightly over-the-top Sony WH-1000xm3 or even "Bass" v-moda M200, these are just bass booms and that makes them worth buying. Definitely not critical listening.

Pros
  • Compatibility with iOS and Android devices
Cons
  • Some minor issues
