Beats Powerbeats2 Wireless

The Beats Powerbeats2 is a gym-focused Bluetooth earphone pair with a frequency response that will only appeal to extreme bass fans.

Incredibly powerful, robust bass response. Does not distort even at top volumes. Sweat-and water-resistant. Multiple eartip options.

Overpriced. Audio balance is completely shifted to the bass realm, with very little high-mid presence.

I won't speculate on whether the subtle LeBron James branding of this particular product (on the Beats website and in commercials) has anything to do with the price, but this is not what a $200 pair of earphones should sound like. The Powerbeats2...

Powerbeats2 Wireless (review): No bargain, but still among the top wireless sports earphones

It's a bit overpriced, but the sweat-resistant Powerbeats2 Wireless is both comfortable to wear and sounds good, particularly for a Bluetooth headphone.

For an in-ear wireless headphone, the sweat-resistant Powerbeats 2 Wireless offers strong sound and a comfortable, secure fit that makes it an appealing choice for workouts.

Doesn't automatically shut off when disconnected from your device; fairly expensive; battery life could be a bit better.

While it's a bit overpriced, the Beats Powerbeats 2 Wireless is among the best wireless sports earphones.

Beats Powerbeats 2 / Powerbeats2 Wireless HEADPHONES

The Beats Powerbeats 2 Wireless are stable headphones great for the gym but disappoint with their sound quality. They're comfortable and are easy to carry around. Unfortunately, they have a skewed audio reproduction and don't block noise well, which is...

Comfortable and stable fit. ; Minimal leakage.

Poor noise isolation. ; Uneven bass-heavy sound.

Beats Powerbeats 2 Wireless Earbuds Review

The $189 Beats Powerbeats 2 wireless earbuds will help you power through a workout, but they don't provide the best audio for the money. While they have strong bass and an over-ear design comfortable for exercise, their sound isn't up to snuff with...

Trendy design ; Comfortable, bendable over-ear grip ; Super-powerful bass

Weak highs and mids ; Battery life could be longer ; Expensive

The $199 Beats Powerbeats 2 wireless earbuds provide deep bass and a comfortable design, but the battery life isn't long enough to justify the premium.

Beats by Dre: Powerbeats2

Look around you - wires are so passé. If you're in the gym and your earphones are connected to your phone or iPod, you might as well trade in your Crossfit membership for a circa-1989 Step aerobics class. How can you complete your WOD with a tangle of...

Powerbeats2 Review: Wireless Running Earbuds That Should Keep You On Pace

Beats rolled out a couple of new products immediately following the news that it would be acquired by Apple, and one of them is the new Powerbeats2 in-ear wireless headset, which packs Bluetooth and a water-resistant design to make it a suitable...

I’ve previously been an outspoken fan of the Jaybird line of wireless fitness earbuds, but the Powerbeats2 definitely give them a run for their money. Jaybird still offers its excellent BlueBuds 2 for $169.95, which is $30 cheaper than the $199.95 the...

Beats Powerbeats2 Wireless review

Iconic Beats design, now for the workout crowd

Minimalistic design ; Universal controls ; Powers workouts with tons of bass

Expensive ; Comfort issues ; Sound lacks fidelity

Beats will please users looking for a flashy set of in-ear headphones that provide booming sound and a handful of features. But for value-centric shoppers, there are many options that outperform for less cash. It should be no surprise that the Beats...
