Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 review: The new, updated model
Initially introduced in May 2019, the Beats Powerbeats Pro offered many of the useful elements you’d find in AirPods, but in a package made for high-intensity workouts. Made with an ear hook, they could be securely mounted to the user’s ear with little fear that they’d fly off during a particularly vigorous workout.
Over five years later, and after some pre-launch teasing, Apple subsidiary Beats has brought out a brand new version. One that not only makes refinements to the existing form, but one that also takes a massive step towards being a multi-purpose wearable device.
