These headphones are designed primarily for workouts , and this is evident in their design. The nickel-titanium alloy ear hooks fit securely around your ears, whether you ‘re running , lifting weights, or just moving around a lot, without the stiff, overly constricting feel that some sports headphones can have. Additionally, four ear tip sizes are included, helping create a snug fit for active noise cancellation and better sound. There’s also a Transparency mode, which is useful if you’re running outdoors and need to hear traffic noise. Regarding controls, the Powerbeats 2 Pro have physical buttons on each earbud, making them easy to use during a workout when your hands are sweaty. They’re IPX4 rated, so sweat or light rain won’t be a problem.
Setting them up and running is fairly simple, and if you need step-by-step instructions, Lifehacker has a detailed guide covering the setup and fine-tuning of every feature of the Powerbeats Pro 2. As for the sound, it leans toward a more energetic, bass-heavy profile, which is great if your playlists are heavy on hip-hop or electronic music, but may sound too boomy if you prefer a smoother sound. And since there’s no equalizer, you’ll have to make do with the default settings.
Heart rate tracking sounds like a nice bonus, but according to our Senior Health Editor, Beth Skwarecki, it’s not always reliable, especially if you have music and workout apps running simultaneously. On the plus side, the battery lasts about 8-10 hours, and the case extends that to about 45 hours, so you won’t have to constantly worry about running out of battery.
