Unboxing the Powerbeats Pro 2

But....

...errr... Powerbeats... beats... those are Apple items.  What are they doing on this site?  

Hey, just because I don't give in to the masses for a one-device-fits-all phone, doesn't mean I don't like music, so when the opportunity to give these a whirl came a long, I had to see how they would stack up against my Pixel Buds Pro 2 that are my daily carry.

Anyways, if you have any questions about 'em, drop me a line!
