Beats will unveil its next-generation Powerbeats Pro 2 wireless earbuds on 11th February, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The fitness-focused earbuds – which are expected to retail for $250 in the US (official pricing for UK and AU are TBC) – could represent a significant upgrade over their 2019 predecessor.
One of the most exciting features will likely be new heart rate monitoring capabilities, if MacRumors’ iOS 18 code findings are anything to go by. If true, this will be a first for Beats' audio lineup, with the site reporting that the built-in sensors on the Powerbeats Pro 2 will interface directly with gym equipment such as treadmills, with workout data seamlessly integrating into Apple iPhone's Health app ecosystem. Gym rats rejoice.
