Powerbeats Pro 2 Given to Customer Early, Expected to Debut Tomorrow

Apple's long-awaited Powerbeats Pro 2 are finally expected to be announced this Tuesday. Ahead of time, one lucky Walmart customer was able to get their hands on the earbuds early, according to a since-deleted Reddit post over the weekend.

"My local Walmart had them in the cage," the Reddit user explained. "I asked if I can buy them [and] he said yes."

Apple already shared a Powerbeats Pro 2 teaser video last year, revealing that the earbuds have a slimmer and more vertical design compared to the original Powerbeats Pro from 2019. Other rumored features include the H2 chip from the AirPods Pro 2, heart rate monitoring for workouts, new color options like Electric Orange, and more.

With the H2 chip, the Powerbeats Pro 2 should offer active noise cancellation, which is something the original Powerbeats Pro lack. The chip should also enable better sound quality and longer battery life compared to the original Powerbeats Pro.

In the United States, the Powerbeats Pro 2 are expected to cost $249.

Update: Shortly after we published, the Reddit post was deleted.

It's not poor wording. It's completely wrong by stating that it has a feature when it does not.

MR made the same mistake last week when it stated the same thing

https://www.macrumors.com/2025/02/02/powerbeats-pro-2-announcement-date-leaked/

Powerbeats Pro are a sportier, fitness-focused alternative to AirPods Pro with built-in, adjustable ear hooks for a secure fit. According to Gurman, the Powerbeats Pro 2 will feature the same H2 chip as used in the AirPods Pro 2, which will enable improved active noise cancellation compared to the original Powerbeats Pro.

How can it have "improved active noise cancellation" when it never had it to begin with?
I make mistakes sometimes! I corrected both articles.

I cannot wait for these. I love my Airpods Pro, but I cannot use them while running because they just will not stay in my ears so I always use the original Powerbeats Pro instead. They're getting harder to stay charged up though, but I've been waiting to replace them in hopes that these would come out soon.

I'm buying a pair as soon as they are announced. Can't wait to use them for marathon training. I've been using the beats fit pro, but that wing tears too easy. The airpods pro are great but don't fit my ear well.
