Powerbeats Pro 2 Sport Earbuds Price in Pakistan | Fonepro

Truth be told, I’ve never been a huge fan of the Powerbeats. Not really any of them. They didn’t quite fit my ears right, they were priced too high and the original Powerbeats Pro’s case was too big. However, I did recognize why many people liked the ear-hook design and the original Powerbeats Pro sounded a whole lot better than earlier Powerbeats. Ultimately, I preferred the Beats Fit Pro, which have an integrated wingtip to help lock the buds in your ears.

The Powerbeats Pro 2’s design offers a few big upgrades. First, Beats says it’s improved the overall ergonomic shape of the earbud and acoustic housing and completely redesigned the ear hook — it’s 50% smaller and incorporates nickel-titanium alloy, so it’s both flexible and durable. The buds themselves are 20% lighter.

Packed with new tech

Beats has managed to pack a lot of tech into the buds. They’re not only equipped with Apple’s H2 chip (Bluetooth 5.3), the same chip found in the AirPods Pro 2, but ear-detection sensors along with a tiny heart-rate sensor in each bud. Most earbuds I’ve tried with heart-rate sensors have only a sensor in a single bud. For example, Sennheiser’s Momentum Sport Earbuds (2024) feature both a heart-rate and a body-temperature sensor in the left bud. I had high hopes for those Momentum Sports Earbuds, and while the heart-rate sensor worked pretty well, the buds felt uncomfortable in my ears, and their sound and noise-canceling performance fell short, especially considering. 

iOS-exclusive features, but support for Android users

With some of its earlier earbuds and headphones, including its Studio Buds line and Studio Pro and Solo 4 headphones, Beats marketed them toward both Apple and Android users.

The Powerbeats Pro 2 work just fine with Android devices and link up with the Beats Android app, but they do have several Apple-exclusive features, including Personalized Spatial Audio with head tracking, Hands-Free Siri, Audio Sharing and iCloud Pairing across all your Apple devices logged into your iCloud account. Alas, they have the more basic Find My feature for both Apple and Android users (Find My Beats for Android), not the more advanced Precision Finding found in the AirPods Pro 2, which have a U1 chip and a case with an integrated speaker that plays a sound to help you locate your buds

Powerbeats Pro 2 vs. AirPods Pro 2

As I said, the Powerbeats Pro 2 and AirPods Pro 2 are fundamentally similar. So how do their sound and noise canceling compare? To my ears, anyway, the Powerbeats Pro 2 actually sound better, and both their noise canceling and transparency mode seem very close to what I get from the AirPods Pro 2. The transparency mode sounds quite natural.

My seal is slightly more consistent with the AirPods Pro 2, so the noise canceling on the AirPods Pro 2 seemed a touch better overall, but Beats says it has “leveraged Apple’s best noise canceling” for these buds, so performance should be pretty similar. While it may not be quite on par with the noise canceling you get with Bose’s and Sony’s flagship earbuds, it’s playing in the same league. Apple has some of the best noise canceling out there.

Excellent voice-calling performance

How good is the Powerbeats Pro 2’s voice-calling performance? Thanks to the H2 chip, new microphones and voice accelerometers to help pinpoint your voice, Beats has made some big improvements in the voice department. Callers were impressed with how well they could hear me, even in noisier environments.

I did some torture tests in the streets of New York where I was dealing with not only a lot of traffic noise but a decent amount of wind noise. With a lot of other earbuds in similar conditions, the people I’m speaking with usually complain about my voice modulating (glitching) and having a hard time hearing me. But during the three test calls I made, all the people I spoke with said they could hear me fine and could barely hear any background noise. In other words, the buds did a very good job filtering out background noise while keeping my voice sounding relatively clear and only slightly robotic. You can view and hear a sample call in my companion video review.
