If your earbuds slip mid-run or you’ve ever had to shove them back in during a lift, you already know why Powerbeats exist. The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 true wireless active noise canceling earbuds are down to $199.99 (compared value $249.99), saving you $50. It’s not the biggest discount in the world, but it’s the kind of price cut that makes a premium workout-focused pair easier to justify—especially if you’re tired of “good enough” earbuds that don’t stay put.

What you’re getting

Powerbeats Pro 2 are built around a secure, active fit. The ear hook design is the whole point: it’s meant to stay locked in whether you’re sprinting, cycling, or moving through a workout where normal earbuds tend to loosen.

You’re also getting active noise canceling, which can be a big quality-of-life upgrade in gyms, on public transit, or in noisy environments where you want to focus. For workouts, ANC can help you keep volume lower while still hearing your music clearly, which is a nice benefit if you train often.

Why it’s worth it

This deal is worth considering if you’re buying earbuds for a specific job: training. A lot of “everyday” earbuds sound great but fail the moment sweat and movement enter the picture. Powerbeats have always been about reliability during motion, and the Pro 2 version adds noise canceling to the mix, which makes them more versatile outside the gym too.

At $199.99, you’re still paying for a premium design, but you’re paying less for the kind of fit that prevents the constant micro-annoyance of adjusting earbuds mid-set. If you exercise multiple times a week, the comfort and stability matter more than people expect.

The bottom line

At $199.99, Powerbeats Pro 2 are a solid pick if you want true wireless earbuds that stay secure during workouts and you like having active noise canceling for focus. If you mostly listen sitting at a desk and you don’t need a locked-in fit, you can find cheaper earbuds that do the job. But for training-first use, this deal makes sense.

The wearable on your wrist can predict blood pressure crisis events days in advance
A hypertensive crisis can lead to acute organ damage, and the abrupt spikes in blood pressure are also linked to stroke, kidney damage, fluid backup in the lungs, and heart attack. Research says wearable devices can provide a warning 3 days in advance.
Huawei Watch D3 Blood Pressure (6)

In the domain of wearable devices, we have reached a stage where they are available in a variety of form factors. You can go with a smartwatch, something a little more subtle like a smart band without a screen, or even a smart ring. And as the form factors have continued to evolve, so have the capabilities and the sensing hardware. What started with basic light-based heart rate tracking has now reached a stage where smartwatches are capable of tracking multiple metrics, such as taking electrocardiogram readings, tracking sleep, looking for signs of sleep apnea, or even detecting spikes in blood pressure levels.

Now, fresh research courtesy of the American Heart Association claims that these mass-market wearable devices can help predict episodes of dangerously high blood pressure, or hypertensive crisis, up to three days in advance. The research was conducted over a period of 12 months and involved more than 4,000 participants living with stage 2 high blood pressure.

Wear OS is borrowing your phone’s status bar so you never lose track of time
Your smartwatch is finally getting the one thing it was weirdly missing.
The Pixel Watch on a person's wrist.

If you have ever opened an app on your Wear OS smartwatch and had no idea what time it was, Google is working on a fix. In October, the company launched a Wear OS canary emulator inside Android Studio. It lets developers try out new features and design tweaks well before Google ships them to anyone’s wrist.

The biggest addition in this build is a status bar that never leaves. It lives at the top edge of your round watch face, floats above whatever app you have open, and keeps the clock and your watch’s status icons in view.

Samsung's first AI-powered smart glasses are finally getting closer to store shelves. According to a new report from South Korea's ChosunBiz, the company is planning to launch its Intelligent Eyewear in mid-December, and if you're waiting to get your hands on them outside the US or South Korea, you might be disappointed.

For those catching up, we reported earlier in October that Samsung was planning a November launch. However, the latest report suggests the release has been pushed back by a few weeks. Samsung hasn't officially confirmed the new date, and there's still no word on how much the glasses will cost.
