Powerbeats Pro 2 Hit All-Time Low Price: Are These the Ultimate Sport Earbuds?

Powerbeats Pro 2 have just hit a new all-time low price, making them a tempting option for fitness enthusiasts. Amazon is currently offering the 2025 model for just $199.95, a significant drop from its original price of $249.99. But are these earbuds worth the hype, especially with the abundance of other options on the market?

Several retailers including Amazon, Walmart, and B&H Photo are offering this deal on multiple colors of Powerbeats Pro 2. This price drop coincides with the release of the new model in February, making the older models a lot harder to recommend at full price.

So, what makes the Powerbeats Pro 2 stand out? One of the most notable features is the integrated heart rate sensor. This allows athletes to monitor their heart rate in real-time during workouts, with compatibility for third-party apps like Strava on both iOS and Android. Other key features include Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), in-ear detection, and an IPX4 rating for sweat and water resistance.

Compared to the original Powerbeats Pro, the Pro 2 boasts a slimmer case, USB-C charging, and more ergonomic ear hooks. The addition of ANC is a major upgrade, as it was absent in the first generation. However, some users have reported issues with the accuracy of the heart rate monitor, and the audio quality and ANC may not be as impressive as those found in AirPods Pro 2.

According to a Rolling Stone review these earbuds work seamlessly with iOS devices making them great sporty alternative to AirPods. They’re also a solid option with Android users with the intuitive Beats app that lets users customize the controls.

One of the best features of these earbuds is the physical volume and multifunction buttons. Touch sensors can be prone to accidental swipes, particularly during workouts, and Beats handy physical buttons are easy to use during any workout.

While the Powerbeats Pro 2 might not rival the latest AirPods Pro or Sony's XM5 in terms of pure audio fidelity, they offer a compelling package for athletes who prioritize fitness tracking and a secure fit. The bass-heavy sound is sure to keep you motivated during intense workouts.

However, iPhone users may find the heart rate monitoring feature more beneficial for Android users, as the Pro 2 cannot simultaneously play music and broadcast heart rate to gym equipment when paired with an iOS device.

At this new low price, the Powerbeats Pro 2 are a worthy contender in the crowded wireless earbud market. But are they the right choice for you? Consider your priorities: do you need precise heart rate tracking, robust ANC, or simply a secure and comfortable fit for your workouts?
