- Launch of February 11, 2025
- Chip H2, thinner design and heart rate monitoring
- $ 250 (about £ 219 / $ 349 in)
The highly anticipated Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 will be launched next week, February 11. It is according to a new Bloomberg report, which indicates that the price of the sticker will be $ 250 (around £ 219 / $ 349 in).
This will be very important, in part because the new model has been teasing for ages, and partly because the second generation will be a very important upgrade.
Here is what we expect to hear ourselves next week.
Why we are delighted with the Beats PowerBeats Pro 2
The new head functionality here is the addition of cardiac frequency monitoring, the first time that Apple offered this feature beyond the Apple Watch, although it is also presented to AirPods Pro 3. The buds are also supposed to connect to gymnasium equipment, which could make those among the best headphones for training.
PowerBeats Pro 2 should also obtain the same H2 chip which feeds the AirPods Pro 2, a considerably improved noise cancellation arrives, as well as a load of other intelligent features, most likely. The current model has the old H1 chip. Hopefully the new chip also means better battery life.
The design has been reduced and probably weighs a little less, and there are four choices of colors: a more beige, lilac and black orange shade.
There will still be differences between these and the AirPods Pro 2, especially in the hearing health characteristics of AirPods: if the PowerBeats Pro 2 obtained these features, we would probably have heard of it now. But they are showing to be the best beat heads to date, and it is prudent to say that you will soon see them everywhere.
