The most noticeable feature of the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 – and the one that will ultimately set them apart for anyone still rocking a pair of original AirPods – is the inclusion of active noise cancelling (ANC) technology.
Beats is no stranger to offering ANC on certain earbuds, but the tech wasn’t included on the original Powerbeats Pro. This time around, however, ANC is in full force, and it does wonders in elevating the overall audio experience.
Having ANC on hand makes the Powerbeats Pro 2 a lot more versatile, with audio being kept largely unobscured even on busy public transport.
What I was also surprised to find is that there’s a heart rate monitor included on the Powerbeats Pro 2. This is a useful addition for those who want to keep tabs on how hard they’re working during a workout without any extra hardware.
The earbuds do have an IPX4 certification, which means that they can withstand a bit of sweat and light rain. In terms of battery life, you can keep listening to the Powerbeats Pro 2 for a total of up to 45 hours.
At roughly $250, the Powerbeats Pro 2 were never going to be the cheapest option on the market, and they do sit closer to the premium end; however, with this discount, they are a little more appealing to more people.
