Powerbeats Pro 2: Specifications
The Powerbeats Pro 2 comes in four vibrant colours: Jet Black, Quick Sand, Hyper Purple, and Electric Orange. With a fresh ear hook design, they bring Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), Transparency Mode, Adaptive EQ, and wireless charging to the table.
Their IPX4 rating means they’re tough enough to handle sweat, dust, and unexpected weather—whether it’s a drizzle or a heatwave.

Powerbeats Pro 2: Features
Reengineered Acoustics and Spatial Audio
The Powerbeats Pro 2 offers dynamic head-tracking for immersive audio with sharp highs and deep, punchy bass. Active Noise Cancellation blocks distractions, while Transparency Mode keeps you aware of your surroundings when needed. Meanwhile, Adaptive EQ fine-tunes the low and mid frequencies in real time for consistently balanced sound.
Ultra Stability and Comfort
The ear hook is made of nickel-titanium alloy, which provides impressive flexibility, a secure grip, and enhanced comfort. It’s 20% lighter than the previous model and is touted as Beats’ most comfortable and best-fitting headphones yet.
Heart Rate Monitoring for Workouts
These earbuds deliver precise heart rate tracking during workouts, providing live performance insights. Using LED optical sensors that pulse over 100 times per second to monitor blood flow, they ensure accurate readings. In India, they will support apps such as Runna, Nike Run Club, Open, Ladder, Slopes, and YaoYao.
Connection and Controls
These earbuds allow you to make calls, enjoy FaceTime with Spatial Audio, and activate Siri seamlessly over Bluetooth. Apple users benefit from full compatibility, including one-touch pairing, automatic device switching, audio sharing, hands-free Siri, and Find My support.
For Android users, the Beats app unlocks features like quick pairing, heart rate monitoring toggles, customisable controls, battery status widgets, Locate My Beats, and over-the-air updates.
Battery Life
Equipped with Apple’s H2 chip, these earbuds offer impressive efficiency and up to 45 hours of battery life when used with the charging case.
The case itself is 33% more compact than the previous version and marks Beats’ debut in wireless charging technology.
