Nike and Apple have created the uber-flashy Power Beats Pro 2 Ultimate earbuds
Nike and Apple have just released one of the most attention-grabbing workout earbuds of the moment with the Powerbeats Pro 2. This update includes fitness tracking and a very unique look designed to stand out while you train.
The Nike x Powerbeats Pro 2 goes beyond standard gym noise by adding built-in heart rate monitoring, along with active noise cancellation and transparent mode. It points to a shift where a single device can handle both music and important workout data.
The finish plays a big part in that appeal. The Volt and Black color scheme, paired with separate Nike and Beats logos on each earbud, make the pair instantly recognizable without requiring a second look.
Battery life also lasts, up to 45 hours using the charging case, which should carry most users through training sessions before needing a recharge.
Lock fit meets smart features
Nike and Beats target athletes who need gear that stays protected under pressure. Powerbeats Pro 2 uses in-ears designed to hold you in motion, whether you’re running, lifting, or walking in mixed environments. Five sizes of ear tips help fine-tune the fit to stay comfortable for long sessions.
A notable improvement is heart rate tracking that syncs with the Nike Run Club app. That pushes these earbuds closer to a fitness device, reducing the need to wear an additional tracker during workouts.
Active noise cancellation helps block out distractions when you want to focus, while transparent mode lets in outside noise when it’s important to be alert. That balance works well when you switch between indoor training and outdoor running.
Sweat and water resistance rounds out the material, helping the earbuds to withstand harsh conditions without disruption.
What separates
This couple relies heavily on visual identity. The Volt and matte black styling is designed to stand out, whether you’re in a crowded gym or out on the run.
Brand differentiation is a defining detail. One earbud has the Beats logo, while the other features the Nike Swoosh, marking the first of the brand’s hardware and cementing the crossover.
The charging case follows with a Volt splatter finish and Nike messaging on the inside, bringing the look together into a cohesive package.
A campaign featuring LeBron James introduces earbuds as part of a comprehensive training lifestyle, not just another audio accessory.
Where you can buy them
Nike and Apple are releasing this with an amazing release. Early access starts on March 17 with the SNKRS lottery, which limits initial availability and adds some urgency.
A wider global launch follows on March 20 via Nike, Apple online, and select Apple stores. That period gives many buyers a second chance if they miss out on early access.
If you’re planning to pick these up, it’s worth watching both windows closely, especially if demand picks up near the first drop.
