Secure-fit earhooks hold the earbuds in place during high-intensity movement, ensuring they remain reliable throughout demanding workouts. Five ear tip sizes provide a tailored fit, allowing users to adjust the earbuds based on comfort and activity level. Sweat and water resistance support extended use, giving athletes confidence during longer sessions. Powerbeats Pro 2 also introduce built-in heart rate monitoring designed for workouts. The feature connects with the Nike Run Club app, offering users a way to track performance directly through their earbuds.
The design uses a bold two-tone palette. Volt and matte black define the visual direction, creating a clear identity tied to energy and performance. The branding introduces a distinct detail, with the Beats “b” logo placed on one earbud and the Nike Swoosh on the other.
Battery life extends up to 45 hours with the wireless charging case, supporting extended use across different activities. The case features a Volt splatter pattern and includes the Just Do It tagline printed inside.
The campaign centers on LeBron James in a golf-focused setting. The concept frames the earbuds within a day on the course, presenting them as part of a wider routine that includes preparation, focus, and recovery. Nike and Beats launch Powerbeats Pro 2 globally on March 20, available via Nike website, Apple website, and select Apple stores.
