SAVE $50: As of Aug. 7, the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are on sale for $199.95 at Amazon. That's a 20% discount on the list price.
Earbuds tech is advancing all the time. From seriously impressive noise cancellation to live translation tools that help you communicate when traveling. A pair that continues to impress is the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2. Not only do these earbuds deliver the incredible sound quality of Beats, but they also have built-in heart rate sensors, making them the ideal workout earbuds.
And as of Aug. 7, you can grab these for $50 less than their list price on Amazon, now down to $199.95. Amazon has marked this as a limited-time deal, so we don’t know how long this price will hang around.
In addition to heart rate monitoring, the design of these earbuds makes them ideal for workouts. They feature a secure-fit earhook that’s been tested across different ear shapes and activity levels to help keep the earbuds in place during exercise. They also include Active Noise Canceling to reduce background noise in training environments, alongside Transparency mode to stay aware of your surroundings, such as passing bikes or cars when running outdoors.
The built-in heart rate sensors work by measuring heart rate directly from the earbuds, pulsing over 100 times per second. They also have an IPX4 rating, which means they are both sweat and water-resistant.
And if you’re an endurance athlete, these earbuds will keep you going for up to 45 hours of total listening time with the charging case, plus the Fast Fuel charging gives you 1.5 hours of playback from a five-minute charge.
For this deal, you can choose from all available colors: jet black, electric orange, hyper purple, and quick sand. Head to Amazon to grab your pair now.
