After reading numerous reviews online, I decided to take the plunge and buy a set of the PowerBeats3. I haven't had any Beats headphones before, but have tried other brands, including Bose. I needed a set of headphones that were wireless as well as relatively sweat proof for working out. After about 2 1/2 weeks of relatively consistent use (no, I do not sweat excessively and it was not exposed to water/rain), it suddenly stopped working. It seems to be a relatively common problem from the more recent reviews. It worked one day and then the next day, it won't charge. It has the most updated firmware installed, but it simply won't charge. I've reset it and had it plugged into an outlet overnight with no luck, I've even tried to charge it through the USB on my computer to track the power percentage and it just stays at 0%. Absolute junk. Luckily, I'm still within the return window. They are great when they're working, good sound for wireless water resistant headphones, and stay in my ears while doing just about anything, but do you really want to chance getting them and then suddenly stop working mid work out, or worse, after the return period and you're stuck with them? Try a different brand until they can figure out this issue and correct it, it's definitely not recommended.
