5+ and Powerbeats Pro headphones feedback

Got myself some of new Powerbeats Pro today from Apple. Promptly went out for a 10k run with my 5+ listening to some dance tunes when I got home.

Sound quality is very good. Headphones are comfortable, my ears did not ache at all. Sound did not drop out once with my Fenix.

Wind noise still an issue though. I live in the UK and it always windy here, so in come cases it was really noticeable. Not sure what can be done to rectify this problem really. Running through some woodland out of the wind and things were much better.

Thought this might be useful for anyone who is tempted with these.

Try to hold the small button in the Powerbeats Pro case when pairing. It's between the headphones at the front of the case. Took me while to find it.

Thank you! My only reservation to getting the Power Beats Pro were their compatibility with my fenix 5 x plus, but now I'm sold.

i just got the Powerbeats Pro today and can't get it to sync with my Fenix 5 Plus. Did you run into any issues connecting the two devices? I already did a hard reset of my iPhone (not sure if this was needed), and a hard reset to factory settings of the watch and nothing worked.

I have the same issue with my unit. The headphones won't connect to the watch, but they works with every other bluetooth device I have. What am I doing wrong?

Were you able to get this fixed? I'm having the same issue

Fenix 5+ here. Can confirm, at least for me, the Powerbeats Pro work flawlessly in every environment I've used them in with the watch. Indoor workouts and outdoor workouts with GPS. Virtually no cut-outs or faulty signal issues, sound comes through crystal clear, and the buttons on the headphones work for controlling music playback through the watch.
