I’ve had hundreds of pairs of headphones on and in my ears throughout my life. Whether in-ears, over-ears, open-ears, on-ears, or outer-ears—as my colleague likes to say—I’m always testing the latest models.

The Powerbeats Pro 2 comes across as highly recommended, especially for active people or athletes who like to listen to music while training.
