Powerbeats Pro 2 Fit & Comfort Review: What You Need to Know

Powerbeats Pro 2 Review: Fit, Comfort, and Real-World Performance—How Memory Foam Tips Can Unlock Their Full Potential

When Apple-owned Beats dropped the original Powerbeats Pro, it quickly became a favorite among athletes and everyday listeners alike. With its signature over-ear hook and punchy sound profile, it was built for movement—and made to stand out.

Now, with the release of the Powerbeats Pro 2 , the brand doubles down on what worked before: bold sound, long battery life, and a form factor that aims to stay put through even your toughest workouts. But does it deliver? And more importantly—can the fit keep up with real-world expectations?

At Comply Foam, we specialize in creating ear tips that bring out the best in your earbuds. So, we tested the Powerbeats Pro 2 with and without our tips to give you an honest, practical perspective on how they perform—and where there’s room to grow.

🎧 Design & Build: Still Sporty, Still Signature Beats

The Powerbeats Pro 2 doesn’t reinvent the wheel—and that’s not a bad thing. The familiar over-ear hook returns, offering a snug hold that works especially well for runners and gym-goers. The earbuds come in a sleek charging case that’s admittedly bulkier than most, but offers excellent protection and battery reserve.

New this time around is Apple’s H2 chip , which brings faster pairing, smoother switching between Apple devices, and lower latency. Controls are physical, responsive, and sweat-resistant—a smart choice for active users who don’t want to fuss with touchpads mid-workout.

Build quality is solid, and the earbuds feel premium in hand. The IPX4 rating provides sweat and water resistance, making them a great pick for active lifestyles.

🔊 Sound Quality: Bass-Driven and Built for Motivation

Let’s talk about the audio.

Beats has always leaned into bass-heavy sound, and the Powerbeats Pro 2 doesn’t stray far. There’s plenty of low-end thump, with mids that stay present and highs that are slightly rolled off—perfect for playlists packed with hip-hop, pop, or electronic beats.

For casual listeners and workout warriors, this tuning works. It’s energetic, engaging, and designed to get you moving. But for audiophiles or podcast-first users, the sound could feel a little less balanced—especially without a built-in EQ or app-based tuning options.

Still, the Powerbeats Pro 2 offers reliable clarity , excellent volume range, and strong dynamic performance for the price. If you’re in it for energy and impact, you won’t be disappointed.

🎯 Comfort & Fit: Great for Some, Not for All

Here’s where things get a bit more nuanced.

The Powerbeats Pro 2 is externally secure thanks to its hook design, but that doesn’t always mean a perfect in-ear fit. Like most wireless earbuds, the stock silicone tips included in the box work well for some people—but not for everyone.

In our testing, some users reported a loose or shallow fit, which affected both comfort and sound quality. Others noticed the earbuds needed frequent readjustment during long sessions, especially with movement or sweat involved.

Because the Powerbeats Pro 2 lacks active noise cancellation, passive isolation becomes critically important —and that all comes down to the seal. A loose seal means more ambient noise leaking in, and more bass leaking out.

🚀 How Comply Tips Improve the Powerbeats Pro 2 Experience

This is where Comply Foam Tips make a serious difference.

We designed our tips to address the exact fit and comfort issues that standard silicone tips sometimes miss. When paired with the Powerbeats Pro 2, our memory foam tips deliver:

✅ A Better Seal

Our foam expands to the unique shape of your ear canal, offering a tighter, more reliable fit. This improved seal enhances both sound quality and noise isolation—two key areas where the stock tips can fall short.

✅ All-Day Comfort

Made from breathable, heat-reactive foam, our tips reduce pressure buildup and ear fatigue. Whether you're lifting, biking, or just commuting, the difference is noticeable.

✅ Enhanced Stability

The over-ear hook keeps the earbuds in place externally, but our tips ensure they stay secure internally—even through motion, sweat, and long wear.

The result? A more immersive, focused listening experience that brings out the best in your Powerbeats Pro 2—without changing the earbuds themselves.

🔋 Battery & Features: Built to Last

One of the Powerbeats Pro 2’s biggest selling points is its industry-leading battery life . You get up to 9 hours of continuous listening , with over 24 hours total using the charging case. That’s some of the best performance in the category.

There’s no active noise cancellation or transparency mode, but call quality is solid, and the earbuds work great for Zoom calls or quick chats thanks to beamforming microphones and voice-detection features.

While there's no app-based EQ, you do get Apple ecosystem perks like spatial audio with dynamic head tracking and automatic device switching—thanks to the H2 chip inside.

🔍 What Could Improve in Future Versions

As much as we like the Powerbeats Pro 2, there’s still room for growth:

• More Customizable Fit Options
  Including multiple tip styles or sizes could help more users find the perfect seal out of the box.
  
  

• App-Based EQ
  A customizable sound profile would go a long way toward making the Powerbeats Pro 2 more flexible for different listening preferences.
  
  

• Case Size
  While the battery life is fantastic, the charging case is still on the larger side for a pocketable true wireless setup.

🧠 Final Verdict: Great for Movement, Even Better with the Right Fit

The Powerbeats Pro 2 is a reliable, well-built pair of sport earbuds that delivers on key promises: battery life, stability, and signature Beats sound. It’s a strong pick for active users and fans of bold audio—but the experience can vary depending on the fit.

With the addition of Comply Foam Tips , the Powerbeats Pro 2 goes from great to exceptional—offering improved comfort, noise isolation, and sound performance with just a simple upgrade.

So if you're already using these earbuds—or thinking about it—don’t underestimate the impact of the right ear tips. Sometimes the biggest performance gains come from the smallest changes.
