There are few situations more annoying than being mid-workout and constantly having to readjust your earbuds so they don't slip out. Maybe that's only beat by someone being way too loud next to you at the gym. Or forgetting your fitness tracker at home.

In the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 earbuds, the brand aims to solve all three problems. And as of June 9, you can get these earbuds on sale for just $199.95 at Amazon, putting them $50 below their full price of $249.95.

So what exactly makes the Powerbeats especially well-suited as exercise earbuds? Like many pairs of open earbuds, they come with an ear hook for keeping them firmly in place. But unlike open earbuds, the Powerbeats also have an in-ear design, which allows them to use active noise cancellation. I've tested these earbuds very briefly, so while I can't speak to the full experience of using them, I can speak to their noise cancelling doing a better job than I'd expect any pair of workout earbuds to do.

I also found that while they can be a bit awkward to put on at first, once you find the right tip earbud and angle, these earbuds are comfortable and secure enough for workouts. However, they might cause some soreness after multiple hours of wear.

These earbuds also come with a built-in heart rate monitor. You do have to use both earbuds to get a reading, but our sister site PC Mag (also owned by Ziff Davis) found that the "performance is more or less in line with the Apple Watch."

For anyone who finds touch controls a little too sensitive or unreliable, especially mid-workout, the Powerbeats Pro 2 come with tactile touch controls, minimizing the chances you'll accidentally pause your music over and over again. As any good workout earbud should be, they're sweat resistant and splash proof, with an IPX4 rating. Apple's H2 chip gives the earbuds fast and reliable Bluetooth connection with any Apple device, making them even easier to use.

Honestly, these earbuds biggest drawback is the price. At $249.95, they cost the same as a pair of AirPods Pro, but with a few specialized features, they may be a great fit for anyone looking for a good pair of workout earbuds — especially if you grab them on sale.
