Apple has officially introduced the Apple Powerbeats Pro 2, setting a new benchmark for wireless earbuds tailored to athletes and fitness enthusiasts. Priced at $249.99, the latest iteration of the Powerbeats Pro lineup comes packed with cutting-edge features, including the H2 chip, Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), heart rate monitoring, and more. Whether you’re hitting the gym or going for a run, the Powerbeats Pro 2 promises to deliver a premium audio and fitness experience.
At the heart of the Powerbeats Pro 2 is Apple’s H2 chip, the same powerhouse found in the AirPods Pro (2nd Gen). This chip enhances sound quality, ensures faster pairing, reduces latency, and improves power efficiency. The result? A seamless and immersive listening experience that keeps up with your active lifestyle.
For the first time in the Powerbeats series, the Pro 2 introduces Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), allowing you to block out distractions and focus on your workout. But when you need to stay aware of your surroundings—like during outdoor runs—the Transparency Mode lets you hear ambient sounds clearly. It’s the perfect balance of immersion and safety.
One of the most exciting additions to the Powerbeats Pro 2 is its built-in heart rate monitoring feature. This makes it a game-changer for athletes who want to track their performance in real-time without relying on a separate fitness tracker or smartwatch. Now, you can keep tabs on your heart rate directly from your earbuds.
The Powerbeats Pro 2 boasts an impressive battery life, offering up to 9 hours of playback on a single charge. With the charging case, you can extend that to a total of 27 hours. Plus, the case now supports USB-C charging, aligning with Apple’s move away from Lightning connectors. This means faster charging and greater convenience.
With an IPX5 rating, the Powerbeats Pro 2 is built to handle sweat and light rain. Whether you’re pushing through a high-intensity workout or caught in a drizzle during an outdoor run, these earbuds are designed to keep up with your active lifestyle.
