These headphones are the same as the regular Powerbeats Pro 2, except they have a two-tone design consisting of black and Nike’s signature Volt neon green-yellow color. Aside from the Nike-focused design, these are the same ‌Powerbeats Pro‌ 2 that were introduced last year, with the signature Powerbeats wraparound earhooks for stability, Active Noise Cancelling with Transparency mode, built-in heart rate monitoring, and up to 45 hours of battery life when tapping into the charging case to recharge. Powerbeats Pro 2 are essentially a fitness-focused alternative to the AirPods Pro 3. Nike showed off the headphones in an ad starring NBA superstar LeBron James. In the U.S., pricing is set at $249.99, in line with the regular Powerbeats Pro 2. Apple is currently showing a March 24 delivery date.
