In late May, Apple-owned Beats was kind enough to send me the Powerbeats Pro, a completely new design for wireless headphones.
Powerbeats Pro are ideal for working out: Thanks to the ear hooks, the signature feature of these headphones, they will never fall off your head, no matter what you’re doing. You can run, jump, or shake your head all you want — Powerbeats Pro are designed to stay on you, no matter what.

After spending over a month with these headphones, though, I’ve found that they’re not just great for exercise; they’re the ideal headphones for the summer.
The most important factor for any pair of headphones, aside from sound, is comfort — and I find I have no issues wearing Powerbeats Pro for long periods of time.

The ear hooks are a smart design choice. They keep the headphones in your ears at all times, but the shape of the hooks is also an easy way to remember how to put them in. Just put the bud in your ear, then rotate the hook until it slides over the top and back of your ear. Once you get the hang of it, it’s super smooth.

In summer, when the weather is hot or humid, you don’t want to wear your over-ear headphones. They’ll make you sweat more, and most designs aren’t waterproof.
