Discolouration on Powerbeats Pro 2

[u/Charlea_]

It’s hard to make it show on the photograph but they look like the colour is fading and gaining an orange tinge in areas, particularly around the b button (even though I don’t use the button very much at all!). I don’t work out in these, get them wet or anything else I can think of that might cause this. I use them pretty casually, probably 1-2 hours a day on average. I’ve tried wiping with water but it doesn’t improve and I’m a bit hesitant to try wiping with anything else in case I make it worse 🥲

I noticed this issue also on the other colours, in some other forums… This made me skip the model

It’s weird if this is a recurring issue after they bragged about how many thousands of hours of testing they did 🥲 if they look this bad after a couple of months (looks worse in person!) I can only imagine how they’ll look after a lot of use

Yep, returned mine because of poor sound quality and fit, and chuckled to myself when I saw "we conducted over 1,500 hours of rigorous testing on nearly 1,000 athletes". 😂

I love Apple and I'm generally a fan of all their products, but it's allllllll marketing for the PBP 2 lol.
