? Battery Life
While AirPods got a small battery boost in their latest iteration, the larger size of Powerbeats Pro means that they’re able to easily crush the AirPods in overall battery life. Apple is promising nine hours of listening time on a single charge, versus AirPods’ five hours, and a quick 15-minute charge in the Powerbeats Pro case will juice them up for another 4.5 hours. However, with the charging case factored in, both the second-gen AirPods and Powerbeats Pro will get the same overall 24 hours of battery life.
