If your earbuds slip mid-run or you’ve ever had to shove them back in during a lift, you already know why Powerbeats exist. The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 true wireless active noise canceling earbuds are down to $199.99 (compared value $249.99), saving you $50. It’s not the biggest discount in the world, but it’s the kind of price cut that makes a premium workout-focused pair easier to justify—especially if you’re tired of “good enough” earbuds that don’t stay put.
What you’re getting
Powerbeats Pro 2 are built around a secure, active fit. The ear hook design is the whole point: it’s meant to stay locked in whether you’re sprinting, cycling, or moving through a workout where normal earbuds tend to loosen.
You’re also getting active noise canceling, which can be a big quality-of-life upgrade in gyms, on public transit, or in noisy environments where you want to focus. For workouts, ANC can help you keep volume lower while still hearing your music clearly, which is a nice benefit if you train often.
Why it’s worth it
This deal is worth considering if you’re buying earbuds for a specific job: training. A lot of “everyday” earbuds sound great but fail the moment sweat and movement enter the picture. Powerbeats have always been about reliability during motion, and the Pro 2 version adds noise canceling to the mix, which makes them more versatile outside the gym too.
At $199.99, you’re still paying for a premium design, but you’re paying less for the kind of fit that prevents the constant micro-annoyance of adjusting earbuds mid-set. If you exercise multiple times a week, the comfort and stability matter more than people expect.
The bottom line
At $199.99, Powerbeats Pro 2 are a solid pick if you want true wireless earbuds that stay secure during workouts and you like having active noise canceling for focus. If you mostly listen sitting at a desk and you don’t need a locked-in fit, you can find cheaper earbuds that do the job. But for training-first use, this deal makes sense.
