Considering the “totally wireless” Powerbeats Pro are now widely available in the US for $250 a pair, it’s obviously hard to justify the purchase of the older and not-completely-wireless Beats Powerbeats3 earphones at their $200 list price. 

That brings us to the second “catch”, which is pretty obvious. You’re looking at refurbished units here, seemingly “certified” to work and look as good as new (or at least close enough), although it’s not clear if you’re also getting a warranty. Based on the same aforementioned eBay description of this top-rated seller, we’re guessing you will be covered against functionality issues for 90 days from the time of your purchase.

But even if that’s not the case, this is the type of deal that you shouldn’t overthink. The Apple-endorsed Beats Powerbeats3 headphones are simply too good to turn down at a crazy low price of $49, what with their water-resistant design, excellent 12-hour battery life, blazing fast charging technology, “high-performance” sound (at least in this price bracket), and comfortable secure-fit earhooks.
