"They're usually a little expensive at $250, but Amazon has them marked down to just $200 in a variety of colors. While ear hooks might sound a little odd coming from the world of more traditional wireless earbuds, there's no need to worry. These are among the most comfortable earbuds we've tested, with our reviewer Ryan Waniata noting that he "wore the buds for several hours a day over a full week with barely a pinch.""
"They don't skimp on features either, with noise canceling that rivals some of our other favorite wireless earbuds. The transparency mode works excellently too, which is key for headphones that you'll likely wear with other folks around, or while running through your neighborhood. If you're really adventurous and active, the earbuds last up to eight hours with noise canceling, and closer to 10 without."
"One other feature that runners especially may find useful is a built-in heart rate monitor. It's compatible with a variety of fitness and wellness apps on both Android and iOS, occasionally checking using a barrage of sensors to measure your BPM. Apple has also included this feature on the recently announced AirPods Pro 3. Of course, they also have that classic audio profile that Beats fans know and love, with heavy bass and punchy midrange."
Powerbeats Pro 2 combine secure over-ear hooks with a comfortable fit suited for running, lifting, and daily wear. Active noise canceling and an effective transparency mode enable situational awareness and strong noise suppression. Battery life reaches up to eight hours with ANC and about ten hours without, while the charging case provides around 3.5 full recharges. The earbuds feature an IPX4 rating for sweat and light splashes and include a built-in heart-rate monitor compatible with Android and iOS fitness apps. The sound signature emphasizes heavy bass and punchy mids, with limited user EQ options.
