The original Beats Powerbeats Pro launched in 2019. Despite their age, I see them frequently in the ears of New York City commuters. Its successor, the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2, launched earlier this year and after testing them for weeks, I came away impressed with the fit, sound quality and features. Today they are on sale for the first time — you can grab them for less than $200 — the earbuds’ lowest price ever.

Beats Powerbeats Pro 2
The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2, which the brand sent me to test, are ear hook earbuds that stay securely in-place no matter the circumstance — jumping jacks, burpees, head-banging to your favorite song, nothing I do jostles them. While I think they’re best as workout headphones, they have all the features you would expect from everyday headphones: noise cancellation and transparency modes, strong battery life, a portable charging case and IPX4 water resistance.
My favorite thing about them is the buttons on each earbud; you can control things like volume, noise cancelling modes and media playback consistently, even with gloves on. Each earbud also has a heart rate sensor built-in to monitor your heart rate as you work out (this only works on select apps on iPhone, but has wider compatibility on Android.)
