I test tens of wireless earbuds each year, and the Powerbeats Pro 2 are my undisputed champions for fitness and workout performance. There are some earbuds, like the Samsung Galaxy Buds 4, that I wouldn't trust to stay in my ears during a brisk walk — let alone an intense workout. Models with a slightly better fit can handle everyday wear, but conquering the gym or a track workout is a completely different story.
The Powerbeats Pro 2 stand alone as the only earbuds that feel tailor-made for fitness buffs. They have large and flexible ear hooks for stability, tactile on-earbud controls, and a built-in heart rate monitor for standalone workout tracking. Just over a year after Powerbeats Pro 2 first debuted, Beats is here with a limited-edition variant that immediately caught my attention. If somehow you haven't been sold on the Powerbeats Pro 2 yet, this special colorway might just be the thing that seals the deal.
