I tested the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 for a week — here’s what I learned


I am a reporter at NBC Select who covers technology and fitness including recent stories on smartwatches, running shoes, workout earbuds and more. For this piece, I tested the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 for a week ahead of launch after the brand sent me a pair to try. I compared the fit and audio quality to other fitness earbuds at a similar price point, and the heart rate data to other wearables.
