Beats Powerbeats Pro 2

  (Rating Hidden)

The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 have an innovative built-in heart-rate monitor. And as Beats is owned by Apple, the headphones have integrated features in iOS devices or an app you can download if you own an Android phone. But is the high price justified...

Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 review: your next workout earbuds

 

After being teased about them last fall, the Powerbeats Pro 2 are finally here, and they should be your next workout earbuds.

Solid, satisfying sound ; Extremely secure, comfortable fit ; Physical buttons ; Heart rate monitoring ; Works well with iOS and Android OS

Case is still bulky ; ANC is not quite as good as competitors

“The Powerbeats Pro 2 are comfortable, secure, and full of features that make them perfect for working out, or even everyday use.”

Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 Review: Beating the Best

 

Beats' most iconic workout buds are back and better than ever.

Crazy comfy fit. Clear, brash, and dynamic sound. Solid noise canceling. Natural and reliable transparency mode. Loads of Apple-exclusive features like hands-free Siri and device swapping. Beats app and one-touch pairing for Android. Responsive and...

Controls are touchy when inserting the buds. Case is still pretty massive. No adjustable EQ or multipoint pairing. No Auracast for future-proofing. Water resistance could be better.

Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 Review: A Real Upgrade

 

Completely redesigned inside and out, the $250 Powerbeats Pro 2 feature Apple's H2 chip, a new built-in heart-rate sensor and active noise canceling for the first time. Are they better than Apple's AirPods Pro 2?

Improved design and sound quality with smaller case ; Equipped with more powerful H2 chip ; Good noise canceling ; Excellent voice-calling performance ; Heart-rate sensors ; Strong battery life ; Wireless charging

Small percentage of users may not get a tight seal ; Some features missing from AirPods Pro 2 ; More basic Find My feature (no Precision Finding)
