Are they louder and with more bass (the Powerbeats 3) than the regular earpods?
I think so, yes. They also just fit better/tighter which helps in both loudness and bass.

Hi guys!
Just got the Powerbeats 3 today and so far very happy with them. Bought the Powerbeats 2 previously and returned them because they would always disconnect from my phone. The 3s haven't disconnected once while in the house, I can walk in any room and they don't go out of sync at all. I'm very impressed. The sound quality is also pretty damn good, it's not as bass heavy as I was expecting, it's a very pleasing kind of bass.
I now have an iPhone 7, which I'm running on iOS 10.1.1, when I connect to my Bluetooth speaker I get an indication of battery life next to the Bluetooth symbol.. I'm just wondering if anybody knows why I don't get this with the Powerbeats 3's?
Cheers!

Fable, how are they with sunglasses on? I have the S305's as well and those hooks around the ears while wearing sunglasses hurt the mess out of my ears. That's been the biggest reason I wasn't going to get the PB3's.

Do they stay one while you run?
- Yep they do remain on while running.. that is not to say that I don't have to "fix" the fit from time to time. I live in New England and it was cold up until this weekend.. so depending on how you wear the wire (in front, on head or in back) it has the potential to rub against clothing / hoods and move.
Are they comfortable while you run? How long are you running?
Very comfortable although as previously mentioned this has a lot to do with messing with the additional earcups and the general size of your ears. I run about 30 mins offroad on back trails. I also take them for walks with the dog as I use them for phone calls.
Have you tried to run with Apple Watch and beats?
Absolutely - the Series 2 and the PB3 work amazing together. I love being able to leave the phone behind and still have access to my music. Its been a flawless experience (with the exception of when coming back into range of the phone - slight 10 second sync).
Fable, My PB3 arrives..! They are gorgeous and looks awesome!
But I have a doubt: for those who bought, they (the PB3) had this small line (looks an attachment) like mine (photo on the link)?

I've had my PB3s for about a month or so and they've been great, but now I'm having a problem. I use them primarily when I run, and have done about 20-25 runs ranging from 5-10 miles and they've been flawless. today was my second run in some pretty frigid cold(Boston area) and after less than a mile, they dropped the connection to the phone and shut down. I couldn't get them to turn back on for about 20 minutes. The phone didn't shut down, just the PB3s, and this happened on both of the 2 cold runs.
Has anyone had any problems with these in the cold? I had the PB2s before these and ran all last winter with them without a problem.
I throw them in the Mophie charge case I picked up and they charge while I shower and get ready for work and I am good to go for the rest of the day..
Bamf - thanks again for the tip on the Mophie Charge case. I put them on my Christmas list and having had a chance to play around with it - its a solid buy. The size of the unit is perfect and I don't feel like I am going to break them putting them in and out of the case (like the cheap rubber one that comes with the PB3). Here are some shots of it for folks interested:

As you can see from the image above, they fit nicely inside and there is an included power cable to keep them charged. The case uses a solid zipper and you can keep track of the charge on it with lights (1-4) on the bottom side of the case (see below):

This will be perfect for keeping in my bag when I travel for work or holiday.
One additional item: The case/charger comes with only one chord. I think this would work best if used with a secondary mini usb / charger combo. As I have plenty around from my Android days - it wasn't an issue for me but folks should be aware. You could alternately take the cable and charge the case separately off USB and then use the same chord to power up the PB3s.
