Got to finally audition the Powerbeats Pro yesterday ... and darn they sound smooth ... really wanna have ... but ... i cannot really stomach paying what could buy me 8 cheapo chi fi
... it does not sound THAT much better .. .actually, i think my Bonola sound about the same ... maybe 3% less, but is that worth the price difference? Sure, that H1 chip is impressive the first time you pair them ...
Oh, for you US folks, while I was checking reviews (while listening) i saw that several outlets dropped the price of the Powerbeats to 199$ (Walmart, Amazon and even Apple themselves ... seasonal special?) ...
One thing I found in reviews was a complaint about erratic connectivity issues while running .. this is a major turn off ... maybe its an isolated case (though they got a replacement from apple which was only somewhat better) ... so .. I guess I will try those B10 TWS lookalikes from AliX for 28$ instead
