What reviewers said

Powerbeats Pro 2

The Powerbeats Pro 2 are a refined, workout-first true wireless pair that finally add adaptive active noise cancellation, transparency mode, and wireless charging to the iconic secure-fit design. They deliver a punchy, accurate sound signature, a long 10-hour battery (8 with ANC) plus a 45-hour total with the case, and remain light and comfortable for intense sessions. While the heart-rate tracking is a novel addition, it still feels limited in practice, and the premium price tag may give some buyers pause.

  • Pro:Secure, lightweight fit ideal for workouts
  • Pro:Very good audio accuracy and punchy bass
  • Pro:Effective adaptive ANC and transparency mode
  • Con:No multipoint Bluetooth connection
  • Con:Heart-rate tracking has limited real-world usability
  • Con:Premium price point

OPPO Enco Air5 Pro

  • Pro:Effective hybrid ANC for immersive listening
  • Pro:13-hour battery per earbud, 54 hours with case
  • Pro:Supports high-quality LHDC codec
  • Con:No wireless charging, only USB-C
  • Con:Sensitivity at 122 dB may be too high for some
  • Con:Touch controls may be accidentally triggered
