I actually purchased the Power Beat 3's and used them for a month before my dog decided to acquire a taste for electronics. Classic case of my dog ate my headphones...
Now I'm using the LG Tone Platinum Bluetooth Headset with Comply T100 Foam Tips. Out of the box the sound leaves a lot to be desired but the foam tips really bring the headphones to life. I get about 9-11 straight hours of battery depending on how loud I set the volume. I did purchase a Smatree battery case that keeps them protected and charged while on the go. So I have yet to run out of juice.
I will say I LOVED the W1 chip in the PB 3's and it's pairing capability with all my Apple devices. So I will be looking at the AirPods closely over the next month for that reason alone. For now the LG Tone Platinum's more than exceed my expectations and meet my needs.
