Beats Unveils Powerbeats Pro 2 with Heart Rate Monitoring and New Features

A New Era of Fitness and Sound

Beats has launched its highly anticipated Powerbeats Pro 2, packed with new features that make it an ideal companion for those with active lifestyles. The upgraded earbuds now offer heart rate monitoring, an improved fit, and several additional features to enhance the user experience.

Improved Fit and Comfort

The Powerbeats Pro 2 has been designed with ergonomics in mind. After testing by around 1,000 athletes, the new model offers a better fit, thanks to a fortified nickel-titanium alloy ear hook that ensures a secure and comfortable experience during workouts. The earbuds now feature a venting mechanism that improves airflow, ensuring users stay comfortable even during intense physical activity. Beats has also added an additional fifth ear tip size (S to XL), ensuring a more personalized and optimal fit. The Powerbeats Pro 2 is 20% lighter than its predecessor, making it the best-fitting pair of headphones Beats has ever made.

New Features to Enhance Your Workout

The Powerbeats Pro 2 comes with an impressive array of features to elevate your workout experience. These include active noise cancellation (ANC) for an immersive listening experience, transparency mode to stay aware of your surroundings, dynamic head tracking, and personalized spatial audio. It also now offers adaptive EQ, which adjusts audio in real time based on the inward-facing microphone to deliver a more customized listening experience.

One of the standout features of the Powerbeats Pro 2 is the built-in heart rate monitor. Using LED optical sensors, it tracks your blood flow over 100 times per second. This feature is compatible with various fitness apps such as Open, Ladder, Nike Run Club, Runna, and Slopes, making it easy to track your fitness progress.

Long-Lasting Battery Life

The Powerbeats Pro 2 offers up to 10 hours of playback on a single charge, with a total of 45 hours when used with the charging case. The earbuds also include a quick-charge feature: just 5 minutes of charging provides 1 hour and 30 minutes of playback. Additionally, the earbuds support wireless charging for added convenience.

Color Options and Pricing

The new Powerbeats Pro 2 comes in four vibrant color options: Electric Orange, Hyper Purple, Jet Black, and Quick Sand. It features an Apple H2 chip, which ensures seamless integration with other Apple devices, and an IPX4 rating, meaning it is resistant to sweat and water.

The Powerbeats Pro 2 is priced at USD 249.99. Interested customers can check out the earbuds via Apple’s or Beats’ websites. However, there is currently no word on its availability in the Philippines. Stay tuned for updates on the official launch in other markets.
