But something that really stands out here is the heart rate monitoring. Yes, you read that right, and no, you're not reading about a smartwatch. The Powerbeats Pro 2 feature real-time heart rate monitoring, using sensors that pulse over 100 times per second to track your heart rate during workouts.

They also benefit from Active Noise Cancelling to block out distractions, but there’s also a Transparency mode when you need to stay aware of your surroundings. And they give you up to 45 hours of battery life with the charging case, and the charging case is now 33% smaller than the previous version and supports wireless Qi charging.

Powered by Apple's H2 chip, you'll find they are incredibly efficient. They also sync up with Apple products incredibly easily.
