Powerbeats Pro 2
#1 in Sport Earbuds · Rated 4.7
Secure, workout-ready buds with health tracking and Apple-centric features.
Powerbeats Pro 2 is Beats’ flagship sport-focused wireless earbud set for 2025, designed for athletes and active listeners who want long battery life, robust fit, and strong feature integration. The earbuds feature an updated earhook design (smaller than before) and a case that delivers extended total life, plus Health/fitness data via built-in Heart Rate Monitoring. Key strengths include Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency mode for situational awareness, and Personalized Spatial Audio with head tracking, all powered by Apple’s H2-based ecosystem. Battery life is substantial: up to 10 hours per charge with ANC off and up to roughly 45 hours total with the case, making them suitable for multi-day training blocks. The device is sweat and water resistant with an IPX4 rating and supports Qi wireless charging. What sets Powerbeats Pro 2 apart is its blend of athletic stability (secure earhook), deep bass-forward sound, and deep integration with Apple devices, while still offering solid compatibility with Android via the Beats app. This makes them a strong pick for iPhone users who also want a workout-ready option that travels well and lasts through long sessions.
