Answer
They have Class 1 Bluetooth, so that's pretty far. But each person's environment and devices are different, so it depends on what interference you have around you. Still, Class 1 Bluetooth is the best, so it's better than anything that is Class 2.

Are the Powerbeats Pro Waterproof?

AnswerNo, they are not waterproof. Beats states that they are "Sweat and water resistant".
Although it's not included in the marketing material, iMore is reporting that Beats has confirmed in a marketing flier sent out to reviewers that the PowerBeats Pro carry an IPX4 rating.
An IPX4 rating means that the product has been validated for effectiveness against ingress by splashing water: "Water splashing against the enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effect."
The Powerbeats Pro are not rated for submersion in water.- Answered by Gregory F

CAN YOU RECEIVE AUDIO FROM APPLE TV THAT IS HOOKED UP TO YOUR TV.
- Asked by John M from Santa Fe

- Flag as inappropriate (CAN YOU RECEIVE AUDIO FROM APPLE TV THAT IS HOOKED UP TO YOUR TV.)
AnswerAppleTV has Bluetooth audio out so you can receive audio from your AppleTV to Powerbeats Pro. You can only connect one set of headphones and there will be no audio sent to your TV when you connect the PowerBeats.
You can connect them via the settings/remotes and devices/Bluetooth or by swiping down while playing a video in order to bring up the subtitle and audio options. You can also hold down the play/pause button prior to opening an app and select them from there.- Answered by Leigh O from Wendouree

I have never owned any AirPods or headphones/earbuds that seamlessly connect to your iPhone. Should I get these new Powerbeats pro?

AnswerI’ve owned the first gen AirPods and simply yes they’re amazing I assume that they’re better as they do have much better battery life and have a hook design and some don’t like the look of AirPods although I am fine with it.

Will they be compatible with any android devices?
Other non-iOS smartphones?
- Asked by Keith W from Bayside
- 04-Apr-2019
- Flag as inappropriate (Will they be compatible with any android devices?)
Best Answer:Yes. Powerbeats Pro, just like AirPods, can be paired to non-Apple devices but will be treated as a normal Bluetooth accessory. This means you won’t have the same seamless pairing like on iOS but can still use them like normal earbuds.

Are these earphones noise canceling?
- Asked by Jose F from Frisco
- 03-Apr-2019
- Flag as inappropriate (Are these earphones noise canceling?)
AnswerNo. Based on the description they do not have active noise cancellation like Beats Studio3 Wireless. They will have some passive noice reduction due to them being tip-based, in-ear headphones however so it should block out noise similar to PowerBeats3 Wireless over standard Apple EarPods.

How much 'talk' time is available. You mention 9 hours of listening time but no mention at all regarding talk time.
- Asked by Clarence O from Stone Mountain
- 04-Apr-2019
- Flag as inappropriate (How much 'talk' time is available. You mention 9 hours of listening time but no mention at all regarding talk time.)
AnswerThe YouTube videos from tech bloggers say 9 hours of listening time and 6 hours of talk time. But the case holds a charge, so as long as you put them back in the case when you're not using them, they will keep recharging...just make sure your case stays charged and you're good to go.

How is the Powerbeat Pro fit for people wearing glasses? The ear piece looks bigger.
I wear glasses and want to know if the Powerbeat Pro fits comfortably while wearing glasses.
- Asked by Terry L W from Micanopy
- 08-Apr-2019
- Flag as inappropriate (How is the Powerbeat Pro fit for people wearing glasses? The ear piece looks bigger.)
AnswerBased on the pictures, they are actually smaller. But, it's going to really depend on what feels right to you. There are tech bloggers with YouTube videos up and one guy has them on with his thick arm sunglasses and say they feel fine. I wear my Powerbeats 2's & 3's with glasses and sunglasses just fine and they feel great. Since Powerbeats Pro are smaller, I imagine they are going to feel fine too. You should go try them on if you can.

Can these be worn inside a steam shower?
I have always thought it would be great to listen to music while sitting in my steam shower but due to the loud noise level caused by the steam being produced inside the shower, playing music outside of the shower is not practical.
However if these are safe and won't be damaged in a heavy steam shower, I could leave my iPhone outside the shower and listen to my music via a product like this.
Please advise.- Asked by Steven B from Howell

Answer
Based on the YouTube videos from the tech bloggers, the sensor detects when you take them out of your ear. So, as long as they are in your ear, they are on. If you take them out, and put them down and they are idle, then they will go to sleep.

What is the size of the case? How many charges do you get from the case?
- Asked by Kenneth S from Erdenheim
- 03-Apr-2019
- Flag as inappropriate (What is the size of the case? How many charges do you get from the case?)
AnswerBased on press photos compared to AirPods case [ 1.74 by 0.84 by 2.11 inches (44.3 by 21.3 by 53.5 mm) ] the Powerbeats Pro case looks maybe 2-3x larger.
"With the charging case, you’ll get more than 24 hours of combined playback." So 24 hours divided by the 9 hours each bud holds would mean you can get about 2.5 charges from the case.- Answered by John C from Wilmette
