I can’t at this point say, I had just under 50% when they arrived so I’m still working on that and then will charge fully once I’ve drained them flat.

I tried original AirPods, and couldn’t get used to the very noticeable lag and the 5 hour battery life. The AirPods routinely went dead on me, as I use headphones with my phone all the time, with VoiceOver.

I haven’t yet taken a phone call on them so can’t comment on that one yet. One thing I did think of this afternoon when I got home was that with the size of the charging case I’m wondering why they didn’t put wireless charging in the beats pro case as it’s big enough to have it to try and describe the size of the pro charging case it’s about the size of the box that the earpods come in, that’s the cardboard packaging you would get if you purchase the earpods from apple that would be the physical size of the case but slightly higher and has a rounded lid on it. It’s a shame really that people can’t try these in store or at least look at them out of a package. Good luck.

I keep looking at reviews on them, so it's nice to have a perspective from a VoiceOver user. I had the first generation of AirPods, but returned them due to lag and missing phone calls because of said lag. Have you noticed that these work better when typing with VoiceOver? I've heard that the chip in both these and the AirPods 2 is supposed to fix most of the lag issue. As for sound quality, do you find it too bassy? That's what I've seen a lot of people say.

With a lightening port at the back of the case. The physical pods are much larger in size than the Earpods Possibly twice the size not including the ear hock, But even with that increased size the power beats pro sit in your ear nicely, Pairing is similar to that of the Earpods, Open the clam shell lid and your IOS device automatically picks up the Bluetooth connection signal from the power beats pro And a tap of the connect icon on the device screen connects the beats pro quickly to the device… There is a quiet chime to indicate connection I’ll say that to me the pairing and connection of the Power Beats Pro pods to my iPhone x was quicker than that of my Apple EarPods S2 and less problematic. The sound quality is very clear and somewhat less body than that of the Earpods, Still very clear and sharp but somewhat less body when it comes to listening to music. Although this was onbly over 20 minutes of playing around with them. The controls on the beats pro work extremely well including listening with one beats pro and controlling play / pause and volume from the other pod (not in your ear). The over ear hook is a soft rubberized plastic, it’s unusual to have the hook over your ear when your not use to it, but it’s not overly noticeable as the prto pods just hung in my ears even during movemen Overall thus far I think they are pretty good and well worth looking into if you were looking to purchase headphones Sorry just a short and sweet review.
