Beats Unveils the All-New Powerbeats Pro 2 with Built-In Heart Rate Monitors

After six years, Beats has finally upgraded its popular sports earphones with the launch of the Powerbeats Pro 2. Packed with advanced features, these earphones aim to be more than just workout gear—they’re designed to elevate your fitness and audio experience.

Key Features:

Built-In Heart Rate Monitors: One of the biggest upgrades is the addition of heart rate sensors in each earbud. Similar to the technology in the Apple Watch, these tiny sensors track your heart rate in real-time, helping athletes monitor their performance accurately. To get precise results, you’ll need to wear both earbuds.
Fitness App Integration: Powerbeats Pro 2 connects with popular fitness apps like Peloton, Nike Run Club, Runna, Open, and more, allowing seamless tracking of your workout stats.
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC): For the first time, Beats has added ANC to the Powerbeats Pro. It’s designed to block out distractions, while the transparency mode lets you stay aware of your surroundings when needed.
Adaptive Sound: The earphones come with adaptive EQ that automatically adjusts the sound based on your environment, ensuring the best audio quality whether you’re at the gym or outdoors.

Design & Battery Life:

Smaller, Stronger Case: The charging case is 33% smaller than the previous version but offers an impressive 45 hours of battery life. It also supports wireless charging for added convenience.
Improved Fit: The earhooks are now 20% lighter and made with a flexible nickel-titanium alloy, making them more comfortable and secure. You’ll also get five different eartip sizes in the box to find your perfect fit.
Durability: With an IPX4 rating, these earphones are sweat and water-resistant, making them perfect for tough workouts in any weather.

Performance:

Powered by Apple’s latest H2 chip (the same chip in AirPods Pro 2), the Powerbeats Pro 2 delivers faster performance, better sound quality, and improved connectivity.
