There’s two things going on right now. One, it’s the middle of summer and you know that every time you go running you’ll build up a sweat that can kill earbuds, which means you’re probably after some good running headphones. Two, it’s Prime Day, which means Prime Day deals are here. Combine the two together, and you’ll find this deal on the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2, which are currently $70 off. That drops them from $250 to $180, making them much more appealing than they normally are. Tap the button below to see them for yourself, or keep reading to see why we think they’re the perfect pickup for the season, our past experiences with them, and more about this great offer.
When we made our Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 review, we immediately called them “your next workout earbuds.” And “next” does a lot of lifting here, because the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 do two standard things and one unexpected thing to ensure a great workout experience.
For the expected, the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are IPX4, meaning they can handle sweat and getting caught in the odd sprinkler or drizzle. They also have a very secure fit with around-the-ear earhooks that are “very durable, but flexible” thanks to their nickel titanium alloy wiring. They’re fleshy and hold their shape well and, most importantly, won’t fly out into the street when you look both ways. Oh, and while we’re talking about expected features, they have great sound, a touch of noise canceling, and get up to 45 hours of battery life when you combine the buds and the case.
Then there is the unexpected. The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 listen to your beats too. Your heartbeats, that is, and monitor your heartrate from your ears. Sure, you might be wearing your fitness tracker as well, but if you want a quick way to see if you’re getting up to your optimum heartrate, this is a fantastic way to go about it — just check the app and you’re good to go.
To get the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 for just $180, which is $70 down from their typical $250, simply tap the button below. Don’t forget that this amazing Beats headphones deal is tied to Prime Day, however, so be sure to order your buds soon.
Instagram is making its way to yet another screen, and this time, Apple TV is getting a taste of the Reels rabbit hole. The company has launched a dedicated Instagram app for Apple TV, bringing Reels, longer videos, and live shows to the big screen. So, if watching one quick clip on a phone somehow turns into an hour of scrolling, there's now a much larger screen for that.

Audio-Technica, a brand well known for making some of the best studio and professional headphones on the market, has just come out with the ATH-AWX7000, which the company itself claims to be its "finest headphones ever." The new flagship closed-back headphone has debuted at an eye-watering price of $3,799. It combines hand-finished Japanese woodwork with a newly developed 58mm driver.
The earcups are made from Kiso cypress, a prized wood historically used for Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Each housing is finished by hand with traditional Echizen lacquer, which brings out the grain and is expected to darken over time. The frame and sliders are finished in a deep navy kachi-iro shade traditionally associated with samurai.
