I became a Powerbeats user with Powerbeats2 Wireless (they came out 12 years ago) and I have used all the models released since. The Powerbeats Pro 2 are the most complete workout headphones yet, and I I bought two pairs of the Nike collaboration. for $250 each for me and my sister.
I don’t regret spending so much on them, but I’m happy to inform you that you can get them for $70 off during Amazon Prime Day. For just $180, these sports headphones pack a ton of features. They share internal components with the AirPods Pro 2 and the Airpods Pro 3but it works just as well on iOS as it does on Android.
I’ve run thousands of miles with Powerbeats headphones in my ears and they are the only ones I would recommend to fitness lovers as we enter summer.
✅ Recommended if: you need a pair of workout headphones With a secure fit and ear hooks for added stability; you want headphones that can easily move between iOS and Android; You appreciate the controls on the headphones, such as the playback and volume buttons.
❌ Skip this offer if: you don’t like the great design of the Powerbeats Pro 2; You want earbuds with a smaller charging case.
The feature that always sold me on the Powerbeats is the included ear hooks. These wrap around the ear, ensuring that even if the tips come off, the Powerbeats Pro 2 It won’t fall out of your ear. Another big plus is the physical volume control and play/pause button. No one wants to fight with gesture controls in the gym or on the track with sweaty hands.
With the Powerbeats Pro 2, you don’t have to. And both the left and right earbuds have physical buttons, so I can use just one without losing functions. This is great for safety as I am aware of my surroundings while running. Since the earbuds support ANC and transparency mode, I can also use the latter to maintain awareness while exercising.
Beats is owned by Apple, but it’s worth emphasizing that the Powerbeats Pro 2 work just as well on Android as they do on iOS. They get a companion app on Android and all features are available on both platforms. In fact, if you’ve always wanted AirPods but needed better Android compatibility, these are the headphones you should get. The Powerbeats Pro 2 share the same Apple H2 chip as the AirPods Pro 2.
And the Powerbeats Pro 2 have the same optical heart rate monitor as the AirPods Pro 3. That’s right: you can use these earbuds to track your heart rate during workouts without needing a smartwatch or chest strap, by pairing them with your Android phone.
It’s clear that they were built from the ground up with fitness buffs in mind, and that’s why I love them as a runner. For $180, they’re a no-brainer if you love working out.
