The <strong>Beats Powerbeats Pro 2<\/strong> are back down to $199.99 ($50 off) in multiple colors at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0DT2344N3\/?tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/goto.walmart.com\/c\/482924\/565706\/9383?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FBeats-Powerbeats-Pro-2-High-Performance-Earbuds-Jet-Black%2F15075506141%2F\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Walmart<\/a>. Although we saw the wireless earbuds drop to $179 earlier this year, they weren\u2019t discounted during Amazon\u2019s most recent Prime Day sale, making today\u2019s promo a great opportunity to get a jump on your holiday shopping.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The Powerbeats Pro 2 remain our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/21309820\/best-wireless-earbuds\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">favorite pair of earbuds for sports and working out<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/777466\/apple-ios-26-launch-iphone-liquid-glass-update\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">release of iOS 26<\/a>, including the ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/777289\/apple-beats-powerbeats-pro-2-heart-rate-monitoring-ios-26\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">monitor your heart rate in real time<\/a> via the Apple Fitness app while engaging in 50 different workout types. Additionally, they now work with Apple Fitness Plus \u2014 allowing you to quickly view metrics such as heart rate and calories burned \u2014 and heart rate monitoring can be achieved with a single earbud during workouts. You\u2019ll even receive notifications on how to potentially improve the fit, which should result in greater accuracy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Unsurprisingly, the earbuds feature earhooks that are noticeably smaller than their predecessor, making them more comfortable to wear, and they come with a wireless charging case. The only real downside of the Powerbeats Pro 2 is their IPX4 rating, which falls short of the IP57 rating found on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/headphone-review\/777798\/airpods-pro-3-review-active-noise-cancelling-live-translation-headphones\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">newer AirPods Pro 3<\/a>. That means Beats\u2019 earbuds don\u2019t offer any dust resistance whatsoever, while the Pro 3 are dust-protected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you\u2019re in the market for workout earbuds, now\u2019s your chance to make a move.
