If your earbuds slip out of place mid-run or you’ve ever had to push them back in while lifting, you already know why Powerbeats exist. The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 true wireless earbuds with active noise cancellation are on $199.99 (comparison value $249.99)saving you $50. It’s not the biggest discount in the world, but it’s the kind of price cut that makes it easier to justify a premium, workout-focused pair — especially if you’re tired of “good enough” earbuds that don’t stay put.
What you get
Powerbeats Pro 2 are based on a secure, active fit. The design of the earhook is the whole point: it’s meant to fit snugly whether you’re sprinting, cycling, or moving through a workout where regular earbuds tend to loosen.
You also get active noise cancellation, which can be a big quality of life improvement in gyms, on public transport, or in noisy environments you want to focus on. When exercising, ANC can help you keep the volume lower while still hearing your music clearly, which is a nice benefit if you exercise frequently.
Why it’s worth it
This deal is worth considering if you’re buying earbuds for one specific task: working out. Many “everyday” earbuds sound great but fail the moment sweat and exercise come into play. Powerbeats has always been about reliability while moving, and the Pro 2 version adds noise cancellation to the mix, making it more versatile outside of the gym too.
At $199.99, you’re still paying for a premium design, but you’re paying less for the fit, which avoids the constant micro-annoyance of adjusting the earbuds mid-set. When you train multiple times a week, comfort and stability are more important than people expect.
The end result
At $199.99Powerbeats Pro 2 are a good choice if you want true wireless earbuds that stay secure during exercise and you like having active noise cancellation to help you focus. If you primarily listen to your music while sitting at a desk and don’t need a secure fit, you can find cheaper earbuds that will do the job. But for training-first use, this offering makes sense.
