While overall they have nearly 4 out of 5 stars on Amazon reviews (http://www.amazon.com/Powerbeats-Wireless-In-Ear-Headphone-Black/dp/B00IYA2ZJW), note that 20% of folks rated them as 1 out of 5 stars. But if you just have to have that Beats name, these look like they’re marked down pretty significantly from their normal extremely overblown price.
I personally don’t buy anything with the Beats name on it. Although I have gotten laptops with Beats audio – and you know what, it wasn’t all that great.
I’ve hated mine from the moment I got them. Can’t do anything except for chores around the house. Try to ride bike or go running with them and they’re constantly acting like they’re losing the pairing with the phone and getting disconnected several times. I’ve had to warranty swap them 3 times and I’m really not impressed with these. On the positive note here, Woot at least puts a huge discount on it. You’re not as screwed as if you went through Verizon.
Stay the HECK away from “Beats”! If you value a brand name more than quality audio, by all means, throw away your money. But for $84? Even at a discount, these are NOT worth the money!
Buy Klipsch instead…or Sennheiser, or Grado. ANY other brand would be better than these!
I hate “Beats” as much as you guys do… But I was gifted a pair of these and I gotta say - I like them alot.
Sound is good. Mic is a little over sensitive to background noise, but I am impressed with them for the most part - even with my Trolling attitude against Beats.
Best wireless headphones I’ve had. The beats name I don’t care about. These things are great with my iPhone and have good range. I have exchanged them though because my first pair quit connecting after a month. My new pair are on a month too and all is well for now. Get them new and get the 1 year warranty because as good as they are wireless modules and headphones this size break. I paid 129.99 for them for Black Friday in July and I think at that price they are about 30$ overpriced. I would say at 84.99 for refurbs go for it. These are a nice quality wireless set though with good ergonomics for running and gym and just moving in general. No discomfort no weird noises from the Eartips just a good secure fit that doesn’t hurt. Highly recommend if you want something besides cored earbuds these are the best replacements for those.
I had klipsch over ear headphones for a while and swithced to these for the wireless aspect and they’re great. I never have any issues with them at all.
They arrived in a box that looked like my 4 year old ate pancakes and then played with it. I thought “Hey Refurbs…alright…I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.”
They paired nicely, and then give me nothing but loud static. Nice.
Put in for a RMA, hopefully the Woot gods feel like helping me with my first unsatisfied purchase in 10 years.
