Beats has released a new short film promoting the Powerbeats Pro 2, teaming up with streamer IShowSpeed to spotlight the earbuds' stability during intense activity. Titled "Speed & Stability," the five-minute spot uses a kung fu storyline to show off the secure fit provided by the headphones' signature ear hooks.
iClarified's Take
While Beats positions the Powerbeats Pro 2 squarely at athletes, the real win here is stability. If standard AirPods or AirPods Pro never quite stay put in your ears, the ear hook design solves a problem Apple's earbuds still don't. You don't need to be training like IShowSpeed to appreciate earbuds that stay locked in during everyday use.
The film follows IShowSpeed as he travels to an ancient temple to train under a kung fu master, played by Paco Yick, a longtime member of Jackie Chan's stunt team. After an online comment calls his stability into question, the streamer takes on a series of demanding challenges, from balancing water buckets to dodging attacks. Throughout the chaos, the Powerbeats Pro 2 remain firmly in place, with the film boldly labeling them "the most stable earbuds on earth."
To mark the release, IShowSpeed also hosted a livestream premiere, where he gave away five "Master of Speed" kits that included a pair of custom Beats over-ear headphones.
Beats released the Powerbeats Pro 2 earlier this year on February 13, with a retail price of $249.99. The updated model builds on the original with improved sound and a refined design aimed at athletes who need a more secure fit.
Currently, the Powerbeats Pro 2 are on sale for $199.95, which is 20% off the regular price. While that's a solid deal, it's not the lowest we've seen. The earbuds briefly dropped to $156 in late October.
