Powerbeats Pro 2 Given to Customer Early, Expected to Debut Tomorrow

[G5isAlive]

How can it have "improved active noise cancellation" when it never had it to begin with?

Compared to some form of industry norm? Compared to Apple AirPod Pro 1? At some point we are niggling over things that don't really matter. It's all marketing. Shrugs.

I'm buying a pair as soon as they are announced. Can't wait to use them for marathon training. I've been using the beats fit pro, but that wing tears too easy. The airpods pro are great but don't fit my ear well.

So easily! I'm glad it's not just me being reckless.

If these sound as good and have same features as AirPods Pro I am sold! Fed up with contantly adjusting to stop my
Pro falling out of my ears!

Wonder if Apple will get them certified for the hearing aid stuff as well..

I loved my OG Powerbeats Pro, but the charging case was absolutely awful, and so massive. They definitely stayed in/on my ears better than my APP do. Now I use a neck gator to help hold them in place over my ears, which I used with my PBP to keep out the wind sound while cycling. I’ll have to check out the reviews after they’re released to see if they’ve really improved.

I would be curious to see if the HR readings differ from the Apple Watch. My watch’s HR readings jump around quite a bit when I start running, going to 150-170 and when I stop for 15 seconds to get a good reading, it will show 120’s or so and stay there.

I make mistakes sometimes! I corrected both articles.

I hope you didn’t use Apple intelligence to proofread

Hasn’t the internet taught you to never ever do that 😂

Attention Wal-Mart shoppers!

The biggest problem I have with the Beats line, is their massive charging cases that lack wireless charging. Other than that , they sound great.

According to the user in the post that was referenced these have Qi wireless charging and the case is smaller than the original.

As long as the case reliably charges the headphones, I'm in. I frequently go to use the current version and one of the other will have not charged since the last use.

 

[GucciGriffinIII]

Definitely want these but hate them dragging out the white colorway. None of these launch colorways are doing anything for me.

"Lucky customer",..Lol

Is waiting money on crappy earphones really "lucky"?

 

[sos47]

Instant buy. They look amazing in orange, just as good as my orange garmin sportswatch 😜

Update: Shortly after we published, the Reddit post was deleted.

Oh well. Not a big deal since they should be announced tomorrow.

So Apples creme a la creme headphones still using H1 headphone chip and these H2..strange decision

crème de la crème 😉

 

[Belisama]

I'm wondering if they are compatible with the hearing test ( https://support.apple.com/en-us/120991 )
I think the idea of performing a reliable test with the earbuds and adjust the Eq accordingly is incredibly useful.

If these have all the features of AirPods Pro 2, I'm interested. The APP2s are just not comfortable in my ears, cause my ears to ache, and fall out if I move my jaw more than a bit (talking, eating).

 

[Jdhommert]

I hole they have the ability to switch between devices instantly by having multiple connections, but the rumored/leaked specs seem to point to them not having this. Which is a major bummer because that’s such a great feature

APP2 are much better, but is it too much to ask for a great apple headphone that has the best specs and will stay in my damn ear no matter what

Don’t the PowerBeats Pro 1 already have this (at least with Apple devices)? I feel like I remember using this feature with my iPhone and iPad / MacBook in the past. Could be mistaken though

 

[Anonymous123]

Anyone else feel like MacRumors already has a pair of these and will be doing a hands-on/review of them tomorrow right after they’re announced?

 

[johnsawyercjs]

some retailers got it early, they weren’t supposed to get it early so someone at Walmart’s distribution center screwed up

There goes Walmart as one of Apple's dealers

Looks like publish was accidentally hit but has since been pulled down

The orange one looks good. Now definitely expecting it to be released within the next two or three days. Would have been nice if AirPods too came in different colours.

There great let me tell you and the wing won’t tear or fall out
