As one can see, the design is the major focus with these earbuds. They have a dual-tone finish in matte black and Volt splatter design. One earbud has the Beats branding while the other sports the Nike logo in black, lending the pair a distinct style appeal. The charging case carries the same theme and Nike’s “Just Do It” tagline on the inside. According to Beats CMI Chris Thorne, the earbuds are a result of the two brands’ “performance, culture and sports — the attributes of today’s athlete.”
The IPX4-rated earbuds come with a redesigned nickel-titanium ear hook, making them lighter while retaining the promise of a secure fit, even with the most rigorous activity. Battery life on these is rated at up to 45 hours with the charging case, and 10 hours on the standalone earbuds. You can expect the same level of ANC, transparency, and passive isolation as the original Powerbeats Pro 2. Of course, voice-calling performance, audio listening quality, and the heart rate sensing features are all what make these a bang for the buck.
Apart from all these features, they can also be wirelessly charged for convenience. Without doubt, they are the prime candidates for your everyday needs. Powerbeats Pro 2 Nike Special Edition was initially available through an early access lottery via SNKRS. For eager buyers, the global launch will be on March 20 via Nike and Apple’s official websites for $250. In-store availability is limited to locations including the United Kingdom, China, the United States, and Singapore.
