? Higher Asking Price
Obviously, Powerbeats Pro are more expensive than AirPods — in fact they’re potentially $90 more when you consider that they don’t include the wireless charging capabilities of the $199 AirPods.
Price is subjective of course, but it’s also worth keeping in mind that once you get into the $250 price range, you’re competing against other earbuds that have will probably have noticeably better sound quality. With Powerbeats Pro, you’re paying even more of a premium for the true wireless capabilities and advanced chipset than you are with Apple’s AirPods, so it’s important to be clear what you’re getting for the price — these are likely still going to be Beats earphones, with the same sound signature as the rest of the family, so if you’re even an amateur audiophile, you’ll want to at least have a listen and shop around before committing to earphones in this price range, no matter how advanced the wireless and other technology features in them are.
