Many of the improvements will put the Powerbeats Pro 2 online with the new Airpods Pro 3, which also have heart rate monitoring.

Starting with iOS 26, the Powerbeats Pro 2 heart rate monitoring function will work with Apple’s fitness application on the iPhone, according to a beats spokesman. With the headphones, you can trace your heart rate and calories burned in 50 different types of training in the fitness application, without requiring Apple Watch for this.

Apple Fitness+ subscribers with Powerbeats Pro 2 will be able to see real -time performance metrics directly on their iPhone, such as heart rate, burned calories and burning bar, without using a Apple Watch.

Here are more improvements in Powerbeats Pro 2 with iOS 26, according to Beats:

  • You can use a single Powerbeats Pro 2 headset for heart rate monitoring during training.
  • Powerbeats pro 2 counting steps taken when your iPhone is not about you.
  • Powerbeats Pro 2 and Apple Watch can simultaneously provide heart rate data.
  • Siri interactions in Powerbeats Pro 2 will allow you to nod with your head, or shake your head, when Siri asks if you want to answer an incoming call, listen to a text message, manage notifications and more.
  • A new algorithm offers a faster heart rate reading.
  • A notification will promote potentially improve the adjustment of your Powerbeats Pro 2 to improve heart rate reading.

The last two improvements will be extended to Android.

iOS 26 will be launched on Monday, September 15, and an update of Powerbeats Pro 2 firmware corresponding to these improvements will probably be launched the same day. Both the Powerbeats Pro 2 and Airpods Pro 3 have a regular price of $ 249, and the first offers a more focused design with physical condition with the ears for a safe adjustment.
