Overview
Wireless earhook workout earbuds from Beats with active noise cancelling, built-in heart rate sensors, and a Qi-charging case rated for up to 45 hours total listening. Built for runners, lifters, and gym-goers who need earbuds that survive sweat and stay locked in during movement.
Powerbeats Pro 2 leans on the earhook design that made the original a gym staple, now paired with Apple's H2 chip and onboard heart rate tracking so a chest strap becomes optional. Reviewers who upgraded from the first Powerbeats Pro found the case slimmer and the fit steadier, though the noise cancelling reads as noticeable damping rather than a hard cutoff of gym noise.
- Apple H2 chip with Adaptive EQ and Spatial Audio
- IPX4 sweat and water resistance
- Qi wireless charging case, a first for Beats
- Six total microphones for calls
Who it's for
Suits anyone whose workouts involve sweat, sprinting, or head movement that pops standard earbuds loose, especially existing Beats or Apple device owners who want heart rate data without a watch. Not the pick for someone chasing flagship-level noise cancelling for a plane or train commute.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers upgrading from the original Powerbeats Pro praised the slimmer case and steadier earhook fit for sprints, lifts, and biking, and several called out clear call quality and long battery life. The recurring complaint is that noise cancelling only dampens gym and plane noise instead of blocking it, and it only activates when both earbuds are worn; a few owners also noted mild discomfort during extended wear.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Noise cancelling dampens rather than blocks
- Some discomfort after long wear sessions
- Both earbuds required to enable noise cancelling
Performance notes
The nickel titanium earhooks and five ear tip sizes are what keep these seated through sprints and lifts, and reviewers who struggled with AirPods Pro or the original Powerbeats confirm the fit holds through sweat. The Apple H2 chip drives Adaptive EQ and the heart rate sensor, which pulses over 100 times a second from inside the ear rather than the wrist. Noise cancelling is tuned for gym environments, and several owners describe it as dampening rather than true cancellation, so plane engines or crying infants still come through.

Questions about the Beats earbud headphones
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
Does the Powerbeats Pro 2 work with Android phones?
Yes, pairing and playback work on Android, and the Beats app for Android unlocks heart rate monitoring, customizable controls, and battery widgets, though Siri and automatic device switching stay Apple-only.
How long does the Powerbeats Pro 2 battery last?
Beats rates the earbuds plus charging case for up to 45 hours of total listening, with Fast Fuel giving about 1.5 hours of playback from a 5-minute charge.
Do these actually cancel noise or just muffle it?
Several reviewers describe the active noise cancelling as noticeable dampening rather than full cancellation, so background noise like a plane cabin or a crying baby still comes through.
