Powerbeats Pro 2 Coming Soon: Apple to Announce Them 'Imminently'

by

In September, Apple said that it would be launching Powerbeats Pro 2 in 2025, and it appears the wireless earbuds are coming very soon.

In his Power On newsletter today, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said the Powerbeats Pro 2 are "due imminently." In addition to Apple filing the Powerbeats Pro 2 in regulatory databases last month, Gurman said Apple is planning to hold product briefings with the media "in a week or so" to go over the new features of the wireless earbuds.

Powerbeats Pro are a sportier, fitness-focused alternative to AirPods Pro with built-in, adjustable ear hooks for a secure fit. Apple's teaser video last year showed MLB star Shohei Ohtani wearing the Powerbeats Pro 2, revealing a more vertical, slimmer design compared to the original Powerbeats Pro, which are now discontinued.

We previously reported that the Powerbeats Pro 2 will offer heart rate monitoring during workouts. Based on our iOS 18 code findings, you will be able to connect the Powerbeats Pro 2 to gym equipment like a treadmill to measure heart rate, and the data will be visible in the Health app and other supported apps on the iPhone.

We also confirmed that Powerbeats Pro 2 will support Active Noise Cancellation, Spatial Audio, and Adaptive Audio. The earbuds and charging case will be available in Jet Black, Quick Sand, Electric Orange, and Hyper Purple, and the case should have a USB-C port.

Based on other recent Beats headphones, other potential upgrades for the Powerbeats Pro 2 include improved sound quality, longer battery life, and improved cross-platform compatibility with Android features like Find My Device.

I haven't had any problems, in fact I prefer them.
I prefer the ear hook on the Powerbeats. People's ears are shaped differently 🤷‍♂️. The Beats Fit Pro are not a replacement for the Powerbeats but an alternative. They should continue to offer and update both of them to provide options to people that work best for them.

I had the originals and liked them a lot, but had the classic charging issues. So I bought the AirPods Pro recently for Black Friday. They’re great, but I miss features of the Beats like the ear hook for workouts; the APPs threaten to fall out when I get sweaty. Also the volume rocker switch is functionally superior to the APP.

These sound like they’re more advanced than the APPs. I’ll be tempted to buy. One thing I’ve learned is it’s best practice to have more than one set of ear buds around for travel and workouts. I’ve had multiple sets fail on me.

Will be a day 365 purchase for me. Need to see whether they've fixed the charging issue first. Not being a beta tester for a bad design.

It will be nice to have Pro type features in these headphones, they have great potential. The charging issues on the 1st gens were lawsuit worthy. I'll wait six months and to make sure they fixed the charging issues also the issue with only one turning on when applying. No doubt that product was pushed out prior to appropriate Q&A testing. I know this from owning three pairs and having the same issues with all three.
