Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 Headphones Are $70 Off As Part of the October Prime Day Sale.
October’s Prime Day has officially kicked off , offering discounts on everything from headphones to fitness gear . One of the most exciting options, combining these two categories, is the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 , which are currently 28% off for $179.95 (originally $249.99). This represents a savings of just over $70, making it the lowest headphone price ever, according to price tracking tools .
Powerbeats Pro 2 earbuds are popular among gym-goers and runners. The flexible ear hooks are made of durable nickel-titanium alloy and designed to stay securely in place during intense movements. Five sizes of ear tips are included, allowing you to find the perfect fit. The IPX4 rating means they are sweat- and water-resistant, though they are not designed for swimming or submersion.
These headphones use the Apple H2 chip, which provides both active noise cancellation for blocking out sound and a Transparency mode for hearing your surroundings. The Powerbeats Pro 2 also feature an adaptive equalizer and personalized spatial sound with dynamic head tracking. PCMag, which gave the headphones an “Excellent” rating, calls the sound “bass-heavy,” which is unsurprising for anyone who has used Beats products. These headphones even have a built-in heart rate monitor that transmits workout data in real time to compatible fitness apps and equipment for Apple and Android users.
Battery life is up to 10 hours without active noise cancellation and 8 hours with it. The charging case provides an additional 28 hours of playback with active noise cancellation enabled and 35 hours without it. Additionally, a five-minute quick charge provides approximately 90 minutes of playback. Instead of touch controls, the headphones use tactile buttons located on a stem extending forward from the in-ear module.
While the over-the-ear design isn’t for everyone, if you’re looking for an alternative to traditional headphones with powerful noise cancellation and physical controls that’s suitable for both Android and Apple users, the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are worth considering—especially since their price has rarely been lower.
