Answer
Powerbeats3 Wireless weight ~0.9oz. The description says the Powerbeats Pro are 17% lighter so that would make them about 0.78oz (0.39oz per bud).
AirPods use a double tap gesture on both buds to access customizable controls like Play/Pause, Next/Prev Track, Siri.
Powerbeats Pro have physical volume buttons on both buds for volume and the Beats logo button for a long press gesture to hang up calls.
Both have Hey, Siri voice activation, auto-play/pause when you take out a bud, auto sleep/wake when taking out of the case, auto pairing via iOS 10 and above by opening the case, thanks to the H1 Chip/.- Answered by John C from Wilmette

Interested to know if anyone knows if this will work well for sleeping with? The Bose Sleepbuds only work with their sounds-So this could be a winner

- Flag as inappropriate Interested to know if anyone knows if this will work well for sleeping with? The Bose Sleepbuds only work with their sounds-So this could be a winner
AnswerThis would be very subjective from person to person, ear size, and sleeping position. A big factor may be the earhook design. Try using Powerbeats3 Wireless which share a similar ear hook design (granted they are 23% bigger and 17% heavier than the pros) but try sleeping with them to see if the ear hooks themselves will work with your sleeping style.

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.

CAN YOU RECEIVE AUDIO FROM APPLE TV THAT IS HOOKED UP TO YOUR TV.
- Asked by John M from Santa Fe
- 21-Apr-2019
- 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
