Looking for a new pair of earphones for those sweat-soaked gym sessions? The good Dr. Dre has a solution.
Good tunes and gym reps go together like milk and honey. Nothing gets you motivated quite like a fitness soundtrack, whether it’s Norwegian death metal or the theme song from Top Gun’s iconic volleyball scene (because we’re not here to judge). To ensure you’re able to enjoy said sounds, you’ll need the right tech.
A Stylish Wireless Solution
Beats by Dr. Dre has introduced Powerbeats Pro, completely wireless earphones that deliver powerful sound to both music lovers and motivated athletes. The result of a deep integration between Beats and Apple engineering, Powerbeats Pro features industry-leading battery life, advanced functionality, reliable connectivity, exceptional fit via a signature ear hook design, and, of course, beautiful fidelity.
When designing the Powerbeats Pro, sound boffins completely re-engineered from the inside out, creating earphones that boast an upgraded linear piston driver that leverages an efficient, pressurized airflow to create a powerful acoustic response in a small package. Enhanced sound quality means incredibly low distortion and great dynamic range across the entire frequency curve.
Designed for Active Music Lovers
Of course, this isn’t a home sound system, this is something that needs to cling to your head when you power through the neon spin session. To achieve the best possible fit on the widest array of ears, over 20 configurations of the earphone’s ear hook were electronically modeled and physically tested. The result is a completely new, ergonomically angled acoustic housing that nests comfortably in the concha bowl of the ear with an off-axis nozzle. It comes with four sizes of ear tips and a redesigned, adjustable ear hook. In addition, Powerbeats Pro is 23 percent smaller than its predecessor and 17 percent lighter. The lightweight design is also sweat- and water-resistant.
Then there’s the functionality. Powerbeats Pro features a fully-functional, ambidextrous design with identical, physical volume and track controls on each earbud. This means full control over your music and phone calls, regardless of whether you use the left, right or both earbuds. Long- and short-range optical sensors drive automatic play/pause and call handling when the earphones are placed in or removed from your ears.
More Than Just Music
And if you’re one of those guys who talks through a gym session or just like to have good music on your commute, the Powerbeats Pro also deliver incredible voice performance during phone calls, with a speech-detecting accelerometer in each earbud and two beam-forming microphones per side targeting your voice and filtering out external sounds such as wind and ambient noise.
Each earbud has up to nine hours of listening time and more than 24 hours of combined playback with the magnetic closure case. Powerbeats Pro is available from May in Black, Ivory, Moss, and Navy.
