Black Friday and Cyber Monday are the best times to get sweet discounts on our favorite tech, and if you're in the market for the best wireless earbuds, then this Powerbeats Pro 2 deal just might be for you. In fact, it's the one product that I actually bought.
At $50 off, the Powerbeats Pro 2 drop from $250 to $200. It's not quite as low as we saw during Prime Day, but a sale is a sale, and I simply couldn't wait any longer, especially since I don't know when they'll be on sale again.
At a 20% discount, the Powerbeats Pro 2 are a fantastic buy. Save $50 on some rather impressive workout earbuds that work great with Android and better with iPhone.

Fantastic everyday and workout earbuds
The Powerbeats Pro 2 were easily the closest thing I could find to a replacement for the now-defunct Jabra Elite series. Among the reasons is the presence of physical buttons, something that's not super common on even the best wireless earbuds. I'm not a fan of capacitive buttons, so this is a huge plus for me. In addition to standalone volume buttons, the 'b' buttons can be customized for switching audio modes or triggering your AI assistant.
Also, like the Jabra Elite 8 Active Gen 2, these are built for exercise and other physical activity, making them some of the best fitness earbuds we've tested. The earhooks ensure that they fit extremely well while you're on a run, and you get five eartip sizes so you can get a good seal.
I've had the Powerbeats Pro 2 for a few days now, but so far I'm thoroughly enjoying them. Audio sounds fantastic, and ANC is better than I expected. I also like the transparency mode, as it's easy to activate and makes voices very clear, so I don't have ot take out my earbuds when speaking to others.
The battery also lasts a long time, and the charging case adds up to 45 hours of battery life. Oh, and did I mention that it can monitor your heart rate and connect to other apps/workout equipment? That's right, the Powerbeats Pro 2 have built-in heart rate sensors for better workout tracking, adding even more value to an already-impressive pair of earbuds.
I use Android, so the Powerbeats Pro's functionality is somewhat limited, but I still find them a joy to use. However, if you're an iPhone user, there are even more reasons to enjoy them. One of my iPhone-toting friends told me that they preferred these to Apple's AirPods Pro, and I already convinced another friend to purchase them since she does a lot of physical activity.
The only thing I don't like about these earbuds is the fact that the charging case is so large. I'd hate to carry these around without a bag or purse to put them in.
