You can now get a brand-new pair of Beats Powerbeats Pro for under $100 - here's how
Remember the first-gen Beats Powerbeats Pro their manufacturer technically discontinued months in advance of a sequel's official launch? Believe it or not, the 2019-released earbuds are still available at a number of (larger and smaller) US retailers, and if you know when and where to look, you can get them at a low enough price to forget the Powerbeats Pro 2 are even a thing. Right now, for instance, an ivory model is listed at Woot for $124.95 instead of an original price of $249.95, and if you hurry, you can amazingly save an extra 26 bucks or so with little to no effort. In order to reduce your spending to a minimum, you'll need to apply the promo code "BIRTHDAY" at checkout by the end of the day, which will slash 21 percent off the already massively marked-down price mentioned above. $151 off (61%) True Wireless Earbuds with Apple H1 Chip, Class 1 Bluetooth, Adjustable Earhooks for Lightweight Comfort and Stability, Powerful Sound with Dynamic Range and Noise Isolation, IPX4 Water Resistance, Up to 9 Hours of Uninterrupted Listening Time, 24 Hours Combined Battery Life Rating with Charging Case, Ivory, New, 1-Year Apple Warranty Included Buy at Woot True Wireless Earbuds with Apple H1 Chip, Class 1 Bluetooth, Adjustable Earhooks for Lightweight Comfort and Stability, Powerful Sound with Dynamic Range and Noise Isolation, IPX4 Water Resistance, Up to 9 Hours of Uninterrupted Listening Time, 24 Hours Combined Battery Life Rating with Charging Case, Ivory Buy at Amazon True Wireless Earbuds with Secure Fit Earhooks, Active Noise Cancellation, Personalized Spatial Audio with Dynamic Head Tracking, Transparency Mode, Adaptive EQ, Apple H2 Chip, Heart Rate Monitoring for Workouts, IPX4 Water Resistance, Up to 10 Hours of Uninterrupted Listening Time, Up to 45 Hours of Total Battery Life with Wireless Charging Case, Android and iOS Compatibility, Four Color Options Buy at Amazon When all is said and done, you'll be left on the hook for a payment of only $98.71, which is a ridiculously low price for brand-new, unused, unopened, and undamaged wireless earbuds backed by a 1-year Apple warranty. To highlight the incredible appeal of this unprecedented deal, I'd like to point out that the same product in the same ivory hue costs an additional 55 bucks or so at Amazon, while the unquestionably improved Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 currently go for just $50 under their extravagant $250 list price (which is actually a pretty good deal too). Now, I'm obviously not going to try to convince you that the OG Powerbeats Pro are among the best wireless earbuds money can buy in 2025. But for less than $100, they surely deliver impressive overall sound quality, a pretty much unrivaled level of stability during the most intense workouts, extraordinary battery life, blazing fast charging, and flawless connectivity with both iPhones and Android handsets. While the "BIRTHDAY" code is set to expire at 11:59pm CT today, June 13, the Powerbeats Pro offer itself is scheduled to run for five more days... unless Woot runs out of inventory ahead of time. Still, you're naturally advised to pull the trigger at $98.71 instead of $124.95, so you'd better hurry.

Beats wireless earphones now nearly half price as shoppers say they are superior to other brands
Beats Powerbeats Pro earphones are now 49% off on Amazon, offering 9-hour battery life and over 24 hours with the case. Wireless earbuds have become a go-to choice for those seeking high-quality audio, hands-free calls, and workout-friendly durability. Among the most talked-about options are the Beats Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earphones, which currently have a significant price drop on Amazon. Priced at £139, down from £269.95, they're now 49% off and available in Black, Ivory, and Navy. The Powerbeats Pro offers up to 9 hours of listening time on a single charge, with the case extending playback to over 24 hours. Designed with adjustable, secure-fit ear hooks, these earbuds are built for comfort and stability during intense workouts. A reinforced, sweat- and water-resistant build adds durability, while volume and track controls on each earbud, built-in microphones, and auto play/pause features round out the functionality. Several other options are also available in the wireless earbuds market. The Anker Soundcore Sport X20, for instance, features rotatable and extendable ear hooks, IP68 waterproofing, and up to 48 hours of playtime. It is currently priced at £74.99 (RRP £89.99) with a 4.3-star rating from 5,472 reviews. Another popular choice is the Apple AirPods Pro 2, which includes active noise cancellation, personalised spatial audio, and USB-C charging. At £189 (RRP £229), they've earned a 4.6-star average from over 15,000 reviews. But for those considering the Powerbeats Pro, there's plenty of positive feedback backing the choice. These earbuds hold a 4.1-star rating from 11,699 Amazon reviews. One user shared: 'My Powerbeats Pro is the best hearing aid I have ever bought... The battery lasts almost all day... With the hooks, my Powerbeats Pro sits comfortably in my ears with my glasses... Overall to me at least the Powerbeats Pro is superior to similar headphones in its class.' However, not all experiences have been flawless. One reviewer said: 'There are two negatives... No ANC. And the earphones tend to have a common flaw whereby in-case charging can be an issue... I normally spend a few seconds carefully placing them in my charging case but still have turned up to the gym with one earbud dead.' Other reviewers praised build quality and performance: 'Everything about these earphones scream quality... The sound quality surprised me... They are incredibly well balanced... Probably not as tight [a seal] as some others... but I don't find myself having to take them out because of a build up of pressure.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Another user was particularly enthusiastic: 'These headphones are game changing... Sound quality is possibly the cleanest I've heard... Also these are the only earbuds that stay in and I can wear for 12 hours no issues.' The Beats Powerbeats Pro may not be without flaws, particularly when it comes to the size of the case and occasional charging issues—but they remain a strong contender in the premium workout earbud space. Get the Beats Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earphones HERE at £139 while the offer lasts.

Tech review: Powerbeats Pro 2 are ready for your sweaty workout
I've turned into one of those people who wear earbuds all day at work. We don't have traditional phones at my office. We use Microsoft Teams as our voice phones, so when the phone rings, I usually answer it on my computer. And because I work with three other people in one big room, we all use headphones. I have been wearing Apple's AirPods Pro 2, paired to my Dell laptop. I love the AirPods, but sometimes they don't stay in my ears very well. A few months ago, I started reading about Beats by Dre's Powerbeats Pro 2 True Wireless Sport Earbuds, which reminds me a lot of the AirPods Pro 2, but they have an over-the-ear loop to keep them in place. Most of you probably know Apple owns Beats. This means Beats headphones and earbuds have the latest Apple technology inside that facilitates automatic pairing with Apple devices as well as cool sound features like noise cancellation, adaptive EQ and spatial audio. What's new? The original Powerbeats Pro were released in 2019, so Beats has had plenty of time to plan and produce the new version to make it better - and I think they did. The Powerbeats Pro 2 uses Apple's H2 chip for improved audio quality, one-touch pairing, automatic device switching, audio sharing and sound management with active noise canceling and transparency mode, which brings in some sounds from outside so you can hear your surroundings. One of the biggest additions is heart rate monitoring. There are sensors on each bud that can accurately monitor your heart rate and send it to the Apple Health app and other compatible apps on your iPhone or Android phone. It works automatically with apps like Nike Run Club, Runna, Peloton and a few others. They are built with an ear loop to keep them firmly in your ear. Beats says they conducted more than 1,500 hours of testing with more than 1,000 athletes to come up with the design that produces what they call their "best fitting headphones - ever." You can customize the fit with four sets of silicone ear tips so you can tailor the tip to fit snuggly in your ear canal, because the sound quality and noise cancellation depends on how well the tips seal in your ears. The ear hook is made from a nickel-titanium alloy that is very light and flexible but still keeps its shape. The buds are 20 percent lighter than the previous version and they are very comfortable and stay in place wonderfully when you get the fit just right. The buds are sweat and water resistant, but not for water sports (no swimming). Each bud has a 10-hour battery life, and the battery in the case can charge them up four times for a total of up to 45 hours of playback. USB-C charging is fast. Five minutes of charging will net you 90 minutes of listening. Because of the ear hook design, the case is rather large at 3 inches by 2.6 inches by 1.3 inches. It fits in my front pocket, but because of the size, I tend to put the buds on in the morning and leave the case on my desk. Speaking of charging, the case charges with USB-C or it can sit on a Qi-compatible wireless charger. The case also shows up in the Find My app on your iPhone, so maybe you won't lose them. There are physical buttons on each bud. There's a rocker button for volume up and down and a button behind the B logo you can use to play/pause music as well as answer and hang up calls. I prefer the physical buttons, as they are easier to tell when you press them. How do they sound? Like most other earbuds, the Powerbeats Pro 2 sound quality will depend on how well they seal in your ear and how well they stay in place. When you bring them home, take your time and try the different ear tips to see which ones seal the best in your ear canal. I still think the AirPods Pro 2 sound a bit better, but the Beats are designed for your workout, and they are much better at staying in place when you're on the move. I do think the noise canceling does a good job of keeping out the mundane noise like traffic or office background noise. I now own both the AirPods Pro 2 and Powerbeats Pro 2 and the Beats get the most use. Pricing The Powerbeats Pro 2 cost $249.99 and they are available in Jet Black, Quicksand, Hyper Purple and Electric Orange. Copyright (C) 2025, Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

AirPods 2025 年無大更新？相機、心率計加持的 AirPods Pro 3 和「輕量版」Max 未來 2 年內登場
知名分析師郭明錤今日發 X 文預測，AirPods 在年內都不會有重大更新。他重申搭載紅外線相機（可能還有 Powerbeats Pro 2 同款心率計）的 AirPods Pro 3 將於 2026 年登場，另外 Apple 可能還會在 2027 年量產「輕量版」AirPods Max。 AirPods may not see significant updates until 2026 (aligning with my earlier prediction that IR camera-equipped AirPods would enter mass production in 2026). A lighter version of the AirPods Max is expected to enter mass production in — 郭明錤 (Ming-Chi Kuo) (@mingchikuo) May 18, 2025 根據郭之前的說法，紅外線模組給 AirPods 帶來的改進主要集中在兩方面。首先是強化空間音訊和空間運算生態，比如用戶在配戴 Vision Pro 時使用新款 AirPods，當你轉動頭部，相機便能判斷方向並加強相應的音源。除此之外，相機亦能偵測到影像上的變化，因此新 AirPods 也完全有可能支援隔空手勢（Apple 曾申請過這方面的專利）。 至於「輕量版」AirPods Max，暫時還沒什麼細節可供分享。但想來初代 Max 推出多年只換了個 USB-C，新品要做的應該不只是瘦身那麼簡單吧？ 更多內容： AirPods 會在 2026 年加上紅外線相機？作用是強化空間音訊和手勢互動 AirPods Pro 3 可能有心率計，但準確度還是 Apple Watch 比較高 Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 正式登場：升級降噪搭配心率監測 緊貼最新科技資訊、網購優惠，追隨 Yahoo Tech 各大社交平台！ 🎉📱 Tech Facebook： 🎉📱 Tech Instagram： 🎉📱 Tech WhatsApp 社群： 🎉📱 Tech WhatsApp 頻道： 🎉📱 Tech Telegram 頻道：

Wireless Beats earphones that 'sound better than AirPods and Bose' now 50% off
If you're looking for a new pair of completely wireless earphones that match the likes of Apple Airpods, but which won't break the bank - look no further than these on-sale Beats Savvy shoppers keen to catch a bargain won't want to miss out on Amazon's latest deals event, which is axeing the price of various tech gadgets this week. So if you've been keen to take Beats' earphones for a spin or test out their quality against the likes of Apple or Bose, this sale is not one you're going to want to miss. The Powerhouse Beats wireless earphones that would nomally set shoppers back by a whopping £269.95 are currently up for grabs for the majorly reduced price of £140 whille this Amazon deal lasts. Acting as Beats by Dre's answer to Apple's AirPods 2, these pair of totally wireless, high-performance earphones called Powerbeats Pro are compatible with both iOS and Android devices for extensive connectivity no mattery your mobile device. Featuring a handy wrap-around design and four sizes of ear tips, these Beats ensure they stay firmly in place when you're walking or running, making them a top choice if you're looking for your next go-to earphones for the gym. The stylish and practical earbuds also have their own physical volume and track control buttons, so it's easy to control your music and phone calls regardless of which configuration you're using. Like alternative Beats products, these earphones automatically detect when they are placed in or removed from your ears, meaning they play and pause the music accordingly, thanks to optical sensors in the buds. For voice calls, Powerbeats Pro feature noise isolation technology to target your voice and filter out external sounds such as wind and ambient noise, so you can continue your call no mattter where you are or what you're doing. As for battery life, each earbud has up to 9 hours of listening time. However, the earphones come with their own magnetic charging case, which boosts this up to 24 hours of combined playback. There's no physical power button, so the Powerbeats Pro earphones automatically power on when taken out of the case and power off (and charge) when placed inside. Motion accelerometers detect when the earphones are idle and not in use, automatically entering them into sleep mode. These earbuds currently boast a massive 11k reviews, with 70% giving them 5 out of 5 stars. One shopper who scooped up these earphones gushed: "I am not a sound genius that goes proper in-depth about the highs and lows, the frequency, etc. however I can keep it simple and say they are one of the best out there. I have tried many earphones from Apple's Airpods to JLab to Bose, and I can confidently say the Beats were my favourite. Sound is down to preference and opinions however the Beats had the crispest sound. They could handle all of my banging playlists without any issue. I like to listen to music very loud and my older self will hate me for it however I can say that the sound doesn't distort or muffle." And this reviewer shares: " My Powerbeats Pro is the best hearing aid I have ever bought. Yes, I use it for listening to music, podcasts and telephone conversations when I'm out and about - usually walking and window shopping. The battery lasts almost all day on a single charge. I don't take the charging case out with me because it is too bulky. With the hooks, my Powerbeats Pro sits comfortably in my ears with my glasses. I just wonder how people are able to use the Apple AirPods without losing them since they don't have hooks like the Powerbeats Pro. I stopped using Apple AirPods after losing two because they kept dropping out of my ears. Since I bought my Powerbeats Pro last year I have had hassle free walks for hours." They go on to add: "When I turn on the listening mode on my iPhone 14, I can hear very clearly what the Pastor is saying on Sundays in my church. I also put them on when my teenage grandchildren come to spend some time with me. My Powerbeats Pro can do everything the latest Apple AirPod Pro can do, perhaps even better without dropping out of the ears."
