I am impressed with the sound of my Powerbeats 3, they are an improvement to the Powerbeats 2. I like the way they fit, just seems better. I had the Motorola S10-HD's and the Plantronics Backbeats and the Powerbeats 2 beat them in the sound so like I said, I really like the sound in the Powerbeats 3. By the way, they will not sound like the over the ear headphones and if there is a pair that sounds like those I bet they are really expensive (IMO). I do have the Beats Wireless Studio and the Studio do sound better but I think that is because it is blocking the outside sound out better. I am happy with my purchase. Hope this helps.
