500: maintenance mode

Greetings from the Engine Room!

Sorry, but there's really nothing to see here right now. Our server is in maintenance mode – and our little bot is trying to sort the error messages with its last bit of energy.

Whether it was a data leak, a power outage in the cluster, or just a grumpy bit – we don't know yet. But what we do know is:

The data drama escalated into a server meltdown. But don't worry: We're on it.

What now?

Everything is surely running smoothly over at our colleagues from inside digital – why not stop by!
Or you could pass the time by visiting our social media channels – for example Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. At least there are no server problems there – promised.

Thanks for your patience. Our bot is already rebooting at full speed. 🔧

Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 Review: The AirPods Pro Killer for Sports?

The Powerbeats Pro 2 comes across as highly recommended, especially for active people or athletes who like to listen to music while training. The ultra-secure fit combined with excellent sound quality and long battery life makes it the perfect training companion. Its Active Noise Cancellation performance is solid but not as good as cans that cover both ears, while the transparency mode could do with some fine-tuning. The built-in heart rate monitor is a real advantage–so if you’re looking for training and performance, this pair is the perfect fit for you. By the way, while the Powerbeats Pro 2 is primarily optimized for Apple devices, Android users won’t miss out. I’ll talk more about this below.
