Powerbeats Pro 2 - Wireless Noise Cancelling Workout Earbuds with Secure- Fit Earhooks, Up to 45-Hour Battery with Charging Case, Sweat & Water Resistant, Heart Rate Monitoring - Jet Black

As an owner of the Beats PowerBeats 1 for over 5 years, I was skeptical about purchasing these after seeing the different comments between PowerBeats 1 and the new PowerBeats 2, but I am very glad with my purchase and to start using the new features in my day to day activities. Case: The case for the Beats PowerBeats 2 is much lighter (weight wise) and the case is also slimmer compared to PowerBeats 1 case. The case can easily fit into a large pocket or zipper compartment in a purse or bag, but the case is still bigger than an Apple AirPods case. The PowerBeats 2 case is now the same color as the PowerBeats 2 themselves where the PowerBeats 1 case was black, where my PowerBeats 1 are Glacier Blue. Over-Ear Design: The over-ear design for the PowerBeats 2 is much smaller compared to the PowerBeats 1. With smaller ears, I personally feel like it fits much better compared to the PowerBeats 1 over-ear design because the old design used to sit on part of my ear and rubbed my ear making it painful. I can see why people with larger ears do not like the new over-ear design of the PowerBeats 2 because it would be too small for their ears. Inside Ear Design: The inside-ear design for the PowerBeats 2 is a bit larger for the round part and shorter for the speaker part compared to the PowerBeats 1. The PowerBeats 1 were smaller for the round part and longer for the speaker part. I can see why people are having problems not liking the new design because the new design for PowerBeats 2 basically sits on top of the ear canal, instead of being inserted further down to give it a tighter seal. The Inside Ear Design was one of the main reasons why I was skeptical of purchasing because of having small ears. I personally think they fit fine, if not better because since the design is sitting on top of the ear canal the larger round part is not rubbing on my ear sitting inside like the PowerBeat 1 design. Ear Tip Design: The Ear Tip Design for the PowerBeats 2 is a single cone tip compared to the double cone tip on the PowerBeats 1. The tips that come with the PowerBeats 2 are XS, S, M, L, XL. The M is automatically inserted on the PowerBeats 2 when they arrive. The M design fits my small ears easily. If you want more of a tighter seal or need a larger size, then you can easily switch the tips out. If you want it to feel similar to the PowerBeats 1, you can switch out the single cone tip for a double cone tip easily. Charging: Charging for the PowerBeats 2 is now with a USB-C, instead of a lighting charger on PowerBeats 1. PowerBeats 2 also does not come with a charging cable, so you need to purchase one separately or use a current USB-C charging cord you own. My PowerBeats 2 arrived 70% charged, so I was able to use them instantly. The magnets for magnetic charging also feel stronger on PowerBeats 2 than on PowerBeats 1. The magnetic charging for PowerBeats 2 is located on the top and bottom of the large round part, instead of, on the outer part like on PowerBeats 1. PowerBeats still holds a charge for a longer period of time than other earphones especially with the charging case. This is another reason why I love the PowerBeats with how long they last on one charge. Perfect for if you are on the go or use them a lot for a long period of time. Sound: The sound for the PowerBeats 2 is very similar and a bit improved from the PowerBeats 1. New features for Active Noise Cancelling and Spatial Audio, which I am happy to see and try in the near future. Depending on what you are listening to such as music, some songs have very clear details while other songs feel flat, but it could be the way the song was mixed and mastered to begin with. Connectivity: If you have Apple Products such as an iPhone connectivity is the same and instant for the PowerBeats 2 as it is for the PowerBeats 1. It still reads text messages and calls of all types still sound great. It's one of my main reasons why I love the PowerBeats because it's very easy to use with other Apple products. New Features: New features on the PowerBeats 2 includes Active Noise Cancellation, Spatial Audio (like surround sound or 3D audio effect listening), and Heart Monitor if you are active in the gym. Long Wear Period: I feel like the PowerBeats 2 and PowerBeats 1 longwear period is about the same. The PowerBeats 2 are still light where you forget you have them on, but after several hours it does start hurting your ear like the PowerBeats 1 do. This is just common with all earpieces that aren't custom mold fit to your ears. Packaging: The PowerBeats 2 has much cheaper packaging compared to other Beats products including the PowerBeats 1. The PowerBeats 2 packaging is basically a recycled cardboard box with a thin piece of paper holding it together. As soon as you take the paper around the box off, the package instantly opens and the PowerBeats could easily fall out if not unpackaging on a soft surface. Definitely thinner and less packaging than PowerBeats 1 as well. Price: I wouldn't have paid the $300 price when they first came out, but since they have come down in price, it was time to purchase. I was able to purchase these during Prime Days for $175. Overall: I really am enjoying the PowerBeats 2 compared to the PowerBeats 1. I feel like the new design will work better for me. I’m also excited to try all the new features on PowerBeats 2 while also having the same things I love about the PowerBeats 1 such as long hold charge, easy compatibility to other Apple Products, and how it reads my message to me. It’s perfect for me who is always on the go, listening to music, watching videos on my phone, doing video meetings and chatting on the phone. To purchase or not: The best way to know the PowerBeats 2 are for you is by purchasing them and testing them out for yourself. The worst that can happen is it doesn’t work for you for whatever reason and you can easily return them back for a refund.

Very happy with these for sports and physical activities. They don’t slip off, the sound quality is top notch, toggling between sound modes is easy, they charge quickly while holding a charge for a long time, and the microphone is clear with amazing noise cancellation for listeners. Only imperfection would be some discomfort after wearing them for long periods of time, but that goes for any earbuds for me and is probably a good sign to take a connectivity break.

I recommend doing the custom audio thing a couple times until the audio sounds right. Otherwise, it’ll sound a little flat. Totally optional though. Plays audio clearly. Microphone is okay. Sleek matte black. A more modern look than the 1st version (I call that v1). I love the ear hooks. It’s actually the reason why I wanted these over the usual airpods. Since they always pass the hair spinning / head tossin’ test. The ear hooks are not as adjustable but the ear cushions are. I ended up using my old powerbeats pro v1 cushions. The tapered shape ones. It works perfectly! Compatible with my iPhone. 👍🏼👌🏼 If you want audiophile quality, I would recommend something else.

Pros: 1. Amazing fit. These earbuds have the best fit security out of any earbuds I’ve owned. I have the Beats Fit Pros but I’ve had trouble with them falling out of my ears especially when running and jump roping. I have small ears; the earhooks on the Powerbeats Pro 2s barely make contact with my upper ear and yet the headphones stay put perfectly during activity. I almost gave myself whiplash trying to shake them out of my ear with no success. 2. Microphone quality. Microphone is on par with the Beats Fit Pro. Crisp and clear. 3. Noise cancellation. The noise cancellation isn’t mind blowing and won’t block out all noise in a loud environment like the gym. However, it’s still pretty solid. Better than the Beats Fit pro. 4. Heart rate monitor. It is solid if you don’t want to carry your apple watch. Cons: 1. Sound quality. The sound quality alone is worth taking off two stars. These earbuds would be perfect if more effort was put into the sound quality. I read many reviews across different platforms for this product. I saw many criticisms of the sound quality but still decided to try them for myself. There’s tons of earbuds under $50 that sound way better than these earbuds. For $200-$250, the sound quality is terrible. There’s a huge emphasis on vocals, bass is lacking, and even the instruments on songs sound lackluster. The sound is distant and can be tinny for some songs like others have mentioned. It sounds like listening to someone sing on a facetime call with music playing in the background. I decided to keep these earbuds for the fit and connectivity alone but the sound is a huge miss. This could easily be remedied if Apple offered an equalizer for their earbuds but unfortunately they do not. If you’re on the fence on buying these earbuds, you should only get them if you need workout earbuds that don’t fall out and other options don’t work for you. They’re extremely overpriced for the sound you get. They’d be an easy choice if they were $120 or less. However, there’s much better sounding options for $50 or less if you’re solely concerned about sound.

I’m on the fence if I’m going to keep these or not: Pros: Great sound quality, AMAZING noise cancellation, and ease of use. Cons: Not very comfortable in the ear and awkward fit. I commute to work on a train that can be very noisy and loud, especially when getting to the station, but the noise cancellation FULLY gets rid of all the noise, and this is a huge plus for me. My main issue is all the finagling I have to do to get the earbud in the right spot, because if it is out of place at all, the noise cancellation doesn’t work. I’ve had them in for a few hours at this point, which I do with other earbuds, but these don’t feel great in. For that reason, I may return them for a more comfortable option.

These were super easy to pair with both my ipad and my iphone. They switch between the devices seamlessly. The sound is a good quality. I like the different size ear buds. they are easy to charge. Cute color and the fit is secure. I can run or do exercise without being afraid that they will fall off.

I’ve gone back and forth for ages trying to decide between the AirPods Pro 2 and the Powerbeats Pro 2. After reading countless reviews, I finally went with the AirPods—and unfortunately, I was completely disappointed. While the AirPods have top-tier sound, none of that matters if they constantly fall out. I tried everything: lanyards, hooks, you name it. Nothing worked, and they just always fell out! Desperate for earbuds that actually stay in my ears, I finally decided to take the leap and try the Powerbeats Pro 2. I was honestly hesitant because of the mixed reviews, but I wish I’d trusted my gut from the start—these are exactly what I was looking for. First off, the sound quality is fantastic. I thought I’d notice a huge drop compared to the AirPods Pro 2, but I truly don’t. The active noise canceling is shockingly close—so close that I honestly can’t tell the difference. They work beautifully, even in noisy environments. The fit is where the Powerbeats Pro 2 truly shine. I wore them all day at work, and they didn’t fall out once. For me, that’s game-changing. I’ve never found a pair of earbuds that stayed in comfortably—until now. I also love that they include the fit test, just like the AirPods, which helped me find the perfect setup right away. The controls are much more user-friendly too. I prefer the physical buttons over the super-sensitive touch controls on the AirPods. With the Powerbeats, adjusting volume or answering calls feels intuitive and reliable. Battery life is another win—they last way longer than the AirPods, hands down. And just like AirPods, they show up in Find My, sync seamlessly with my iPhone and iPad, and integrate perfectly with all my Apple gadgets. Honestly, I wish I had picked these first. With the Powerbeats Pro 2, I don’t feel like I’m compromising anything. I get premium sound, great noise cancellation, a comfortable and secure fit, better battery life, and easy Apple integration—all in one. I couldn’t be happier! I was also able to buy them on sale at $180 - a steal, definitely worth the money! Unfortunately, they don’t come with a charging cable, but I’ve been using usb c cables I already own and they work perfectly with no issues. I highly recommend these earbuds!!

I like the carrying case, microphone and adjustability. They're very good for runners and the life battery is long than the old beats. Connectivity is easy on my android and it very durable. I dont like the sound and the lack for bass.

Je les adore. Il faut un peu de pratique pour bien les mettre en place mais après cela, ils sont super. Ne tombent pas vu le tour d'oreille. Le blocage des sons extérieurs est exceptionnel. Le son n'est pas aussi bon que Bose mais tout de même excellent. Très confortables.

I recently returned apple ear pods as I found them extremely uncomfortable. I've had the beats headset style for years and love so thought id try the new Pro 2 version as I wanted something smaller for travel. First of all, I cannot say enough about this amazing orange color, it's so nice. They come with 5 tips and the small option fits great so far. I'm not getting discomfort or the feeling that something foreign is in my ear. Sound is what you'd expect from beats- great base. The one thing with beats (both mine are the noise cancelling) I find people around you can hear the music. I also find the buttons much easier to use compared to the apple pods. I would suggesting playing around with the tips for the right fit, you won't get noise cancelling without a good fit, I see some negative reviews on this and is was my initial thought too but then changed the tips and much better. My SO is a tech guy and he is really impressed with the quality. This is my first day with them and I know they were just released. Will update my review after more use. Although they are expensive, so far I'm much happier with these than the apples ones I had purchased and would recommend.

Love these for working out! Had issues with the AirPods Pro 2 falling out of my ears during core workouts on my back and intense boxing rounds on the bag, so the over the ear hooks are awesome for locking things down. Living in the Apple ecosystem - these headphones switch seamlessly between my MacBook, iPad and iPhone depending on what I'm listening on and also work with a PC laptop for work (although I use them less often). These don't move on my head in any activity, and after a few days of getting used to putting them on they're easy to use. I was a little apprehensive or using the for daily use since I wear glasses, but had no issues with them rubbing or sitting in place. The sound quality is great (more balanced than any previous Beats headphones I've used) for streamed music, videos, general content. The only reason these aren't 5 stars are: a) Active Noise Cancellation isn't as strong as the AirPods Pro 2 - when on transit or in loud environments the ANC was a few tiers lower and more of the variable environmental noise makes it through. b) The lack of Adaptive Mode - compared to AirPods Pro 2 (even though they both have the H2 chip) - they do not feature the conversation awareness which was great for lowering the ANC when speaking or being spoken to.

way over priced. ANC does not work at all can hear everything as if its not even on. extra ear cups are not effective, ear hooks seem to made for designers ear and are not movable. great they hook on the ear but pointless if they just pop out just by looking left or right.. I have had $50 ear buds the same type with better fit and more effective noise reduction... such a let down for $300+ buds. at least they were on sale. cant return..

My husband ordered these Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 headphones for my birthday gift and I was SO EXCITED! Beats Powerbeats are the only headphones I like and I was so sad when my last pair stopped working. These headphones are even better than my last pair of beats! The main reason I love these so much is how they fit in my ear. They feel very lightweight and also stay on my ear! I use these for exercising, and for when I’m cleaning and they always stay in great. The battery life is also another reason I love these headphones so much! I wear them for hours before having to charge them. They are very stylish and chic, and the color I’m obsessed with! Couldn’t be happier with these headphones!
