Why the Powerbeats Pro 2 Earbuds Instantly Became My Go-To Workout Companions

Beats launched the Powerbeats Pro 2 earlier this year after a six-year hiatus in the lineup. The new pair introduced a built-in heart rate tracker, improved the ergonomics and borrowed the Apple H2 chip from the AirPods Pro 2. I've been using them on and off since launch, and these are my new go-to earbuds to use for workouts. The Powerbeats Pro 2 are feature-packed Beats' new workout earbuds represent one of the biggest generational updates to this model. They come equipped with the Apple H2 chip, which puts them on par with the AirPods Pro 2. Beats says it's "leveraged Apple's best noise canceling." I find that I get a good, secure seal when I'm wearing them, so the noise cancellation performance is pretty good. However, they're tuned differently compared with the flagship Apple earbuds. The Powerbeats Pro 2 are more bassy, which some gym enthusiasts might appreciate. The best part about them is their fit, thanks to their ear hook build. The music never left my ears. Whether I was on a run or in the gym, the earbuds sat comfortably. More than the fit, I was surprised by the voice-calling performance. As CNET's David Carnoy noted in his review, "Thanks to the H2 chip, new microphones and voice accelerometers to help pinpoint your voice, Beats has made some big improvements in the voice department."

Screenshot by David Carnoy/CNET I haven't relied on their heart rate monitoring system, because I have an Apple Watch. And if you're like me and you already own the Apple Watch, your iPhone will prioritize readings from the Watch. If you don't own one, it'll show the heart rate data in Apple's Health app. Like other Beats products, the Powerbeats Pro 2 are also platform-agnostic, and the company says all Android fitness and wellness apps with heart rate monitoring capabilities are compatible with its earbuds. That said, the Powerbeats Pro 2 offer a few Apple-exclusive features, like personalized spatial audio with head tracking, hands-free Siri, audio sharing and iCloud pairing across all your Apple devices logged in to your iCloud account. Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 key specs Weight: 8.7 grams per earbud (case weighs 69 grams) Bluetooth 5.3 Apple H2 chip Custom designed, dual-element dynamic diaphragm transducer IPX4 splash-proof and sweat-proof Active noise cancellation (adaptive) Transparency mode Adaptive EQ Spatial audio with dynamic head tracking Six microphones total (one dedicated voice microphone on each earbud) Sensors (per bud): Optical in-ear detection, optical heart rate monitoring, accelerometer, gyroscope Customizable controls Five sizes of soft silicon ear tips (XS, S, M, L, XL) Wireless charging case (Qi compatible or via USB-C cable) Battery life: Up to 10 hours with ANC off (8 hours with ANC on) 35 additional hours from charging case with ANC off (28 hours with ANC on) Fast Fuel: 5-minute charge gets you up to 1.5 hours of playback Telephony: Up to five microphones employed for phone calls, wind-noise reduction, voice accelerometer isolates user's voice Colors: Electric Orange, jet black, Hyper Purple and Quick Sand The case isn't easy to carry Prakhar Khanna/CNET Though Beats made the Powerbeats Pro 2 50% smaller, the case is still on the bigger side. It isn't as comfortable as carrying other earbud cases, especially when you go for a run. I leave the case at home most of the time, but if you want a pair of earbuds that's easy to carry in a case, the Powerbeats Pro 2 aren't for you. That said, if portability isn't a priority, the Powerbeats Pro 2 can be counted among the best ear hook earbuds on the market right now, which is why they're on CNET's list of the best wireless earbuds of 2025. They offer good sound quality and great noise cancellation and voice call performance, and they stay snug in your ears. They also offer heart rate detection. With the $50 discount, this might be the best time to buy them.

The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 just hit their lowest ever price for Prime Day

It took a long time for Beats to release a successor to the original Beats Powerbeats Pro, but the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 were worth the wait. They're as good as sports headphones get, and I've run hundreds of happy miles while wearing them, as well as doing bike rides and strength workouts with them. This Prime Day you can get the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 for $179, a $70 and the lowest price I've ever seen them. The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 have crashed to their lowest ever price on Amazon right now as part of the Prime Day sales. I found the buds perfect for running and other workouts thanks to their secure and comfortable fit, long battery life and great sound quality. I have the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 as my top pick in my round-up of the best running headphones, and they also sit at the top of our list of best workout headphones. There are several reasons why I rate the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 so highly as sports headphones, but it all starts with the fit. The earhook creates a secure fit not matter how intense your activity is, and the buds didn't budge at all during 20 miles runs during marathon training runs. They are also slimmer and lighter than the original Powerbeats Pro, which makes them more comfortable to wear and also means they fit easily alongside glasses and other headwear. The Powerbeats Pro 2 also offer great battery life of eight hours even when using ANC, and they have physical button controls, which I always find much easier to use on sports buds than touch panels. I also found the sound quality good on the headphones, with the powerful bass-forward profile you expect from Beats. The ANC is also pretty good, if not as outstanding as on some buds I've tried like the Bose QC Earbuds, and the transparency mode on the Powerbeats Pro 2 helps you to stay aware of what's going on around you when exercising outdoors. There are some downsides to the buds, the main being that I wouldn't rely on the built-in heart rate monitor because it's hard to use and sometimes inaccurate, in my experience. Even with all of the excellent features, I still think they are a little overpriced at $249, but at this reduced price of $179 the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are well worth looking at if you're shopping sports headphones in the sale.

Stop waiting for the AirPods Pro 3 and get Apple's Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 at their lowest price now!

Despite being rumored to come out "soon" almost a whole year ago, Apple's long-awaited sequel to the super-popular AirPods Pro 2 is still not here... and may or may not be released by the end of 2025. But at this point, it's not entirely clear if you should keep waiting for the AirPods Pro 3 or pull the trigger on some of the best wireless earbuds money can buy right now. The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2, for instance, just so happen to be available at their best price yet with a feature the AirPods Pro 3 are likely to (eventually) "borrow" and possibly improve in a crucial way. Until that happens ( if it ever does), you might find it incredibly hard to turn down the opportunity to save 70 bucks, especially if you like to use your buds mainly at the gym. True Wireless Earbuds with Secure Fit Earhooks, Active Noise Cancellation, Personalized Spatial Audio with Dynamic Head Tracking, Transparency Mode, Adaptive EQ, Apple H2 Chip, Heart Rate Monitoring for Workouts, IPX4 Water Resistance, Up to 10 Hours of Uninterrupted Listening Time, Up to 45 Hours of Total Battery Life with Wireless Charging Case, Android and iOS Compatibility, Three Color Options Buy at Amazon With "secure-fit" earhooks and heart rate monitoring capabilities, the second-gen Powerbeats Pro can typically be had for $249.99, which means that you're currently looking at slashing a whopping 28 percent off that list price without jumping through any hoops whatsoever. Even though Amazon's huge Prime Day 2025 sales event hasn't concluded yet, this is not a member-exclusive deal, beating all previous Powerbeats Pro 2 discounts offered by all major US retailers in Jet Black, Hyper Purple, and Electric Orange color options. If you don't hurry, your chromatic choice might become more limited or the sporty earbuds could well go up in price to $199.99 or even $249.99. As such, you may not want to waste another second if you think you could benefit from keeping an eye (or ear) on your heart rate during your most intense physical activities without relying on a smartwatch or some other wearable device. Of course, these iOS and Android-compatible bad boys made by Apple have other key strengths too, including pretty much unrivaled all-day comfort, the "best-performing" active noise cancellation technology "ever developed" for a Beats product, phenomenal 10-hour battery life (or up to 45 hours with the bundled charging case factored in), top-notch personalized spatial audio with dynamic head tracking support, and decent (although not exactly impressive) IPX4 water resistance. In short, you're looking at an outstanding gadget available at an unbeatable price. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!
