SAVE $70.04: Grab the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 for $179.95 at Amazon during day one of Prime Day. This discount knocks 28% off the earbuds’ usual $249.99 price, and beats their old record-low price by $20.
Amazon Prime Day can be a popular time for newer products to get their first drastic price cut, and that’s exactly what’s happened with Beats’ latest workout headphones.
The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are just $179.95 as of July 8, saving you $70.04 on the $249.99 earbuds. Before this price drop, the lowest price we’ve ever seen these earbuds hit was $199.95.
The Powerbeats Pro 2 hit the market just this past February, upgrading the ear-hooked earbuds to include active noise cancellation and a built-in heart rate monitor. In addition to the ear hook, these earbuds come with five ear tip sizes to help you find the right fit and keep the earbuds in while you’re staying active. Beats also smartly opted for on-ear button controls instead of overly sensitive touch controls that might’ve been triggered during periods of high movement. The IPX4-rated earbuds are also sweat- and water-resistant, so they’re safe to bring during more intense gym sessions.
Not to be confused with open earbuds, these earbuds are an in-ear model that provide additional wear security with the hook. While wearing both earbuds, you can also use the buds heart rate monitor sensor, which our sister site PC Mag, also owned by Ziff Davis, finds to work about as accurately as an Apple Watch’s.
As well-geared as they are toward working out, the in-ear design paired with the ANC also gives them the flexibility to be used as everyday earbuds. And thanks to their H2 chip, they integrate with Apple devices just as well as AirPods. During Prime Day, you can grab all four colorways — electric orange, hyper purple, jet black, and quick sand — on sale for $70 off.
