Battery on the cord looks too heavy. I prefer my Beats PowerBeats 2 BT even if these headphones look like they have a good way to lock themselves on the ear.   Lets see. If someone owns them please confirm my above observations.   Take care

I found out why people claim that Powebeats2 stay in position while other in-ear headphones don't.   The difference between Powerbeats2 and other headphones, probably the Jaybird Bluebuds, is that there is air communication that goes from ear through the plastic of the headphone out...

Bare in mind that powerbeats2 don't seal. There is no workaround for this because the leakage of noise and air starts from within the earphones. With smaller ear-tips you feel like you don't wear any headphones. All external sounds can enter into the ear. With the largest ear tips it blocks...

Update....   The ear-hooks are adjustable. I carefully and wisely bent them to get a better fit and the problem with the lose seal has almost disappeared. I use the largest ear - tips which provide the best seal for all ear types!... Of course I am not at the GYM right now so I can not say for...

    Thanks p4s2p0.   I got it replaced with another pristine one, same powerbeats2 and same red-black color. Yeahh this time we got it right. It charges and works like a charm. The sound is good enough for an in-ear bluetooth system.   My only concern is that the ear-tip does not seal into...

Thanks chailee80   I went to the store and they had in stock another pair of Powerbeats2 the color I liked, so I finally decided to have my faulty pair replaced with a new one.   I was so curious to try these "bassy" Powerbeats2 for reasons that I can't explain. if they don't isolate...

Hi chailee80. Thanks for your replies and help you provided. I was asking which is loudest because my experience with some sports wired Sennheisers and Sonys connected to some of my android phones were miserably quiet and the ambient GYM noise was overpowering the sound! Of course I am careful...

Hi chailee80. Thanks for your suggestions. They will not replace it straight away because they don't have the black/red color I want in stock. If I manage to get the money back I will probably order another brand from the internet (Jaybird or Jabra like you suggested). This is my first...

I was waiting impatiently for my order of Powerbeats2 to arrive at my local shop. I went there happily to collect them, I paid the hell of the money to the cashier and I went home full of joy, congratulating my self for my new purchase. I opened the package I put the headphones to charge for a...

Thanks for the info brother.   I am going to buy one very soon. It lacks the optical in of the other model but they say that it has better sound. I was about to buy a Valve amp but there are so many choices and I get confused. Also valve amps are very expensive for my budget...

slicerblade   Does it work with your iphone the E17K? (I have an android phone but I would like to know )

Quote:   Hi jude. I read your wonderful review. You suggest that Jaybirds have better sound signature and a bass that does not mask the higher registers but I am going to buy the ridiculously more expensive Beats for some reasons.   I am not going to use it as a reference headphone. I am...

chailee80: Thank you chailee80 for letting me know that beats controls work with android. Sometimes I feel these reviews get generated by automated robots.   Jude: Also Thanks Jude for the review and the time you spent. Thanks for contributing so positively to the community.

Good questions but nobody seems to bother..   Good Night !  

The idiots at cnet.com claim that beats PowerBeats 2 multifunction button (pause/play/next/previous track) does not work with android phones   Here: http://www.cnet.com/products/beats-powerbeats2-wireless/   User Feedback below that review suggests otherwise. The multifunction button...

Guys this is very cool thread ! Thanks so much for the info, SoAmusing777 thanks for the feedback on the JLab and the link. ALso thanks Banana for the overall reviews !!!   I also need to make a choice and buy new headphones for the gym ...

Thank u sword. Very kind!

Does E17k have its own Asio drivers or u have to use the general ASIO4ALL drivers?

Anybody else listened to the E17K ? Any reviews or comparisons to E17 and E18?. Does it worth the lack of Optical in?   Also I would like to ask if E17K works like plug and play USB on the PC without drivers..... Windows 7 and XP.

Guys I am wondering what to buy. E17s are still selling. Without optical i am afraid that noise will leak to my cans... . Any side by side comparison among E17, E17k and E18 available? Chipsets etc. Will i will benefit from the USB upgrades of the E17k ? I mostly play Mp3s and .flac

Thanks Digital7. Comparing the specs of the 2 devices there is no much difference between the 2 but anyway, the specs are subjective......

Hi guys I was wondering if it worths to buy the older E17 instead of E17K if u value the optical connection.
