Hey Siri isn’t a must have feature but it definitely does come in handy when you need it and when it works.

If you want to talk to Siri you gotta press and hold on the play pause button. Where as you just can’t do that with the Powerbeats 3.
POWERBEATS 3 UPDATE FULL
So lets say you’re on the bench about to go into a dumbbell chest press and you’ve got your hands full you can be like hey siri skip a track or play so and so song and it’ll do it. The most important thing in my opinion is that new Powerbeats have always listening Siri like the AirPods 2 or AirPods Pro. And again these control buttons are very easy to use, especially during your workout where you just want things to work.īut one of the biggest differences between the new Powerbeats the Powerbeats 3 is that the new Powerbeats have apple’s H1 chip which means a few things. You’ve got a volume rocker and beats logo on the right earbud serves as a multi purpose button. Where as the new Powerbeats have now have their media controls built into the right earbud like the Powerbeats Pro. Which I’ve always really liked cause its very easy to use and very tactile. The Powerbeats 3 have an inline controller on the left earbud. Another noticeable change between these two earbuds is the placement of their media controls. But I have noticed that since these earbuds don’t come with a cinch, this cable does like to snag a little bit if you regularly wear a hoodie to the gym like I do. You’ve still got your adjustable ear hooks which are going to keep these earbuds in place no matter what but I think the most noticeable design difference between these two earbuds is just how thick the wire on the new Powerbeats is… making them feel a little more sturdy. So yeah I really do feel this new carrying pouch is a real downgrade for the new Powerbeats.īut when it comes to the earbuds themselves, the new Powerbeats have been redesigned to look more streamlined compared to the Powerbeats 3. Where as the Powerbeats 3 come included with a silicon case that offers some protection. The new Powerbeats come included with this super flimsy pouch which is going to do nothing to protect your earbuds if you’ve got them in your gym bag. Now first off I want to address the Powerbeats 4’s carrying case cause I think this one of the most disappointing things about them. But as always if you want to pick either of these earbuds up they’ll be linked down below. But now the Powerbeats 3 are typically on sale for $80… so if you’re looking for a major deal you’ll might be interested in the Powerbeats 3 if you’re willing to give up some minor luxuries compared to the new Powerbeats. So the new Powerbeats or Powerbeats 4 what ever you want to call them have a retail price of $150… which is actually $50 less than what the Powerbeats 3 used to retail for when they first came out. Now yeah these earbuds do have some improvements over the Powerbeats 3… but lets see if it worth the upgrade. And again these are a great pair of workout earbuds. But now we have the Powerbeats 4, or as apple calls them just Powerbeats.


The Powerbeats 3 have always been a great pair of workout earbuds thanks to their ear hooks which keep them in place no matter what you’re doing and their 12 hour battery life meant you could go multiple workouts in between charges.
