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.
