Our Verdict
Beats Powerbeats Pro Truly Wireless
Bose Sport Earbuds Truly Wireless
The Beats Powerbeats Pro Truly Wireless and the Bose Sport Earbuds Truly Wireless are both impressive for sports and fitness, but the Beats are better for mixed usage. The Beats have a longer continuous battery life. However, the Bose are better-built, more stable, and they leak less noise.
