You can effortlessly pair your PowerBeats Pro earphones to your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and more

If you're on the hunt for a versatile product that'll let you listen to tunes and rock out with your iPad, iPhone, Mac, Apple Watch, iPod, and more, then look no further than the new PowerBeats Pro earphones.

Just like the AirPods, the PowerBeats Pro earphones can easily pair with a variety of Apple products. The main difference between the two? The PowerBeats are water resistant and aimed more at people who love to get their sweat on, while the AirPods are small and convenient and perfect for laying back with an audio book.

Apple's H1 chip allows you to pair your PowerBeats Pro to any Apple device that you're signed into with your Apple ID, making it ideal for anyone with a Apple Watch, Mac, iPhone, and everything in between. It allows you to quickly connect your earphones to any Apple device you want. It also makes them much more power efficient, so you can get more battery for your charge.

To pair your PowerBeats Pro earphones to your iPhone, just press the power button for one second next to your unlocked iPhone and follow the instructions on screen.
