When You talk about headphones you must keep in mind the purpose for which you are buying them. I mean if you want them for gyming or workout you can't use those which are not water and sweat-resistant. If you are a gym-lover you must welcome Powerbeats3 Why? because it serves the purpose perfectly. I am going to share my experience in detail here so you will get some idea before making your final purchase decision. So without wasting time let's go for a Powerbeats3 wireless earphones Review.

Bottom Line:
Best choice for the gym and workout lovers. Good for walking, running. The W1 chip makes pairing super-easy, solid battery life, sweat, and water-resistant, Comfort and secure fit, solid heavy-bass that push you more for a workout. All is well except the cost. I think the price is a little bit more than it deserves. While comparing Powerbeats3 with the other beat's model Powerbeats Pro I found Powerbeats3 has more battery backup.
Of course, they are good for the gym but not for the office because they don't have an NC feature. Still, if it suits you for the great office. Overall Its a good deal but check out the other options for a better deal because like I said cost is the downside and still if you can manage to spend that money you must go ahead.
How is the Design and Build Quality of Powerbeats3?
Powerbeats3 is built and designed for movement. It is constructed with good quality plastic that also looks clean and nice. Powerbeats3 has adjustable ear hooks that help for the secure fit which doesn't disturb your gyming activity. No matter you are running, lifting a weight, or doing any exercise it will stay fit and secure into your ear canals. It has clips to adjust the cord length according to your need.
In-line volume control allows you to control the volume easily. It's water-resistant and I saw no effect on its performance after spreading some drops of water. Powerbeats3 comes with 4 Silicone ear tips so that you can choose the right one according to your ear canal size.
it's subjective when we talk about fit. It does not completely isolate you from the outside world. This is good and bad too. Someone may want complete disconnection from the world but what if you are running or walking on the road? definitely, you should not isolate completely.
The USB port for the charging is open and water and sweat can easily enter in but I found no problem. The package also includes a soft silicone case to keep the powerbeats3 inside but it does not have a zip. I don't like this idea very much. Overall I will say it's good in design and construction.
How is the Sound Performance of Powerbeats3?
Do you like heavy Bass? then these buds are for you. You will get the same heavy bass in almost all beats models. Compared to powerbeats2 no major difference in the bass I found. The sound is louder but some people are still not happy. They want more.
But I think it's more than enough for the workout. You might not be happy with that muddy mids but that's not a big deal if you ask my opinion. If I compare the sound to its price there is definite room for improvement but overall I am happy with its sound quality. 7 out of 10 for sound.
How is the Connectivity of Powerbeats3?
Why do I love apples so much? Because they consistently innovate. They offer such an incredible technological advantage that no one can. Apple's W1 and H1 are examples of their top-class innovations. In the Powerbeats3 you get the W1 chip that works better when you have an iPhone.
It doesn't mean they can't work with android but iPhone users get the most out of it. The remarkable benefit that W1 gives you is a seamless Bluetooth connection setup. To connect your Powerbeats3 with your apple device just turn it on and keep them closed for a second and that's it.
As I said class 1 Bluetooth is a real boon. With that Class 1 connection Powerbeats3 became stronger, more stable along with an improved range that makes connectivity super easy, and stable. Thanks to Class 1 Bluetooth and W1.

How is the Charging and Battery performance of Powerbeats3?
I have rarely seen that any apple headphone gives bad battery performance. Powerbeats3 also gives a solid battery performance. They claimed that Powerbeats3 gives up to 12 hours of battery playtime but I found it gives more than 12 hours when you play music at 50% of max. volume.
At the max volume, it gives more than 10 hours, which is too good. 5 minutes of charging gives 1 hour of playtime with the fast fuel charging. I think Powerbeats3 is far better than many of its competitors in this department. Why? because competitors don't have a W1 chip yet.
