Deal of the Day: Beats’ newest earbuds are on sale for the first time
The recently launched earbuds are at their lowest price ever right now.
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.)
