"The Powerbeats Pro 2 remain our favorite pair of earbuds for sports and working out thanks to their secure fit, effective noise cancellation, and helpful transparency mode, which pipes outside noises in. The updated mics do a solid job of filtering out ambient noise during phone calls, too, while the on-ear buttons provide tactile feedback when controlling playback. They also support hands-free voice control via Siri, allowing you to play / pause music, set reminders, and answer calls."
"The standout feature in the Powerbeats Pro 2 is heart rate monitoring for workouts. Both earbuds contain LED optical sensors that measure blood flow, integrating that information with apps from Nike, Peloton, and others. Several features have also been added with the release of iOS 26, including the ability to monitor your heart rate in real time via the Apple Fitness app while engaging in 50 different workout types."
The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are available for $199.99 at Amazon and Walmart with multiple color options. The earbuds provide a secure fit, effective noise cancellation, and a transparency mode that channels outside sound when needed. Updated microphones improve call clarity and on-ear buttons deliver tactile playback control. Integrated LED optical sensors enable heart rate monitoring and sync metrics with apps like Nike and Peloton. iOS 26 adds real-time Apple Fitness monitoring across 50 workout types and Apple Fitness Plus support, including single-earbud monitoring and fit-improvement notifications. The earbuds include smaller earhooks and a wireless charging case but have only an IPX4 rating.
