Didn't these things get terrible reviews in terms of sound quality?
I've seen mixed reviews on this, some people saying sound quality is terrible and other saying it's "normal", at this price I think it's worth trying out and free returns if it doesn't meet expectations.

Just received them, they do sound pretty flat and unimpressive, I'd rate the sound quality lower than my older AirPods 2nd gen, but the ANC works pretty well. I wouldn't say they are horrible but definitely disappointing.

How do they sound compared to the 1st gen Power Beats Pro?
Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds - Noise Cancelling, Heart Rate Monitor, IPX4, Up to 45H Battery & Charging Case, Works with Apple & Android
How do they sound compared to the 1st gen Power Beats Pro?
I don't have the 1st gen so I can't compare but based on reviews first gen sound a bit better with the downside of no ANC, shorter battery life, bigger case and bigger buds, I think most people recommend the pro 2 even at the expense of a bit of sound quality
Coming from the Powerbeats, Pro, and now Pro 2. Yes the sound quality is just good enough but these aren't for audiophiles. At the gym I want the buds to stay in place and be easy to control. Their size, weight, and matching physical buttons on each side achieves this. The noise cancellation is a great addition and battery life gets me through ~14hrs of use each week. My biggest adjustment is getting used to the body being formed into the play/pause button, can be easy to press when putting them on/in.

I use these because they stay put, the sound quality is good enough and IMO they are the best workout earbud if you have an iphone. They fit extremely well, don't ever have to worry about them falling out or sweat damaging them and they do sound as good as most 100$+ earbuds. If you want these for casual use and audio quality there are better options for sure.
Returned mine after a week. Loved first version. These weren't as adjustable, and hurt my ears within like an hour. Sound quality and fit not that great, mine were in sale for $200

I just bought a pair, I also have the Beats Fit Pro. The Beats Fit Pro sound much better, I was really disappointed at how crappy these Pro 2s sound. I am contemplating about returning them, but I find them a tad bit comfier than the Fit Pro because the wing tip irritates my ear after awhile.

that said, I sold them 2 weeks later for 160. I hated these, compared to OG power beats. the sound is fine, but is not comfortable to me.
