Apple's Powerbeats Pro 2 could be launched as soon as next week, according to details shared by Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman. The company previously launched the first generation model in 2019, and the upcoming version is expected to arrive with an upgraded processor and a new fitness tracking features. It is also said to arrive with an updated USB Type-C port, in order to comply with the EU's common charger regulations that went into effect at the end of 2024.

The upcoming Powerbeats Pro 2 will be launched on February 11, according to Gurman's latest Power On newsletter. It will be available in new colour options, including Electric Orange. Other colourways that are expected include Hyper Purple, Jet Black, and Quick Sand.
The journalist also states that the new Powerbeats Pro 2 will be priced at $250 (roughly Rs. 21,800). Apple has yet to officially announce plans to launch the Powerbeats Pro 2 in the US and other markets. Last year, Apple confirmed the headset would make its debut in 2025.
Powerbeats Pro 2 Features (Expected)
Previous reports suggest that the Powerbeats Pro 2 will be equipped with same H2 chip that was introduced with the second-generation AirPods Pro 2. This means that the TWS headset could offer improved audio quality, longer battery life, and support for Google's Find My Device network. The company is also expected to equip the device with a USB Type-C port, like other recent devices launched by the company.
Gurman also reiterates earlier claims that the Powerbeats Pro 2 will be equipped with a fitness tracking feature that was previously limited to the company's Apple Watch models — hearth rate monitoring. Users should be able to see heart rate information collected from the Powerbeats Pro 2 in the Apple Health application.
