Apple’s Beats launches Powerbeats Pro 2 with heart-rate monitoring


The new earbuds will cost US$250 (locally RM1,049) – like the prior model – and come in black, orange, purple and a colour called quick sand. — Apple

Apple Inc’s Beats unit rolled out the long-anticipated Powerbeats Pro 2, bringing noise cancellation, a heart-rate monitor and revamped design to the popular, athlete-oriented earbuds.

The new model adds capabilities found in Apple’s AirPods, including transparency mode, which makes it easier to hear outside noise, and the H2 chip for better sound. It also has improved spatial audio – a 3D listening experience – and a smaller case that can be charged wirelessly.
