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.

Powerbeats Pro 2 review: the workout buds to beat

Apple adds ANC, transparency mode, and heart rate monitoring to its long-awaited Powerbeats Pro 2, while keeping the price at $250.

Ear hooks won’t appeal to everyone, and athletes are a particular bunch. But the breadth of updates, thumping bass, and improved comfort make these the pair of workout buds to beat.

Powerbeats Pro 2 Review: Are these the Best Sports Headphones?

The Powerbeats Pro 2 reviewed: These in-ears impressed with a secure fit, powerful sound, & long battery life. Are these the best sports headphones?

Extremely secure and comfortable fit, ideal for sports ; Very good sound quality with rich bass and 3D audio ; Impressive battery life of up to 45 hours ; Excellent voice quality, even in windy conditions ; Adaptive ANC with custom-fit earpieces

Transparency mode is not perfect, making it quieter than its surroundings ; No LDAC or LHDC, only AAC and SBC formats supported, making it specially optimized for Apple users ; ANC is good but not as good as over-ear headphones

Yes, if you engage in a lot of sports and are looking for a secure fit. The Powerbeats Pro 2 score points with good sound, long battery life, and a stable fit. They are a particularly reliable choice for athletes and fitness freaks – the earpieces...
