If your runs are starting to push past the one-hour mark and into meatier endurance territory, you need a pair of the very best running headphones. For this level of endurance, I'd recommend these Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 on sale at Amazon for $199.95 (was $249.95).
With respectable sound quality, heart-rate monitoring, and a super comfortable fit, you really can't go wrong with the Powerbeats Pro 2. The most impressive feature is the enviable 45-hour maximum battery life, which is almost without comparison.
Better still, the 20% discount sees the buds drop back to the low price we saw during Black Friday. All four colorways are discounted, too, which gives you the choice to pick the pair that best suits your style.

The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are our pick for the best running headphones for endurance. So, if you’re running longer distances or want peace of mind on race day, these are excellent. The incredibly well-engineered earhook design delivers a secure fit, and the buds are backed up by solid battery life and good sound quality. They're now back to the record-low price we saw during Black Friday sales.
In our four-out-of-five-star Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 review, we gave notable mention to the large set of useful features, secure and comfortable fit, and head-tracked spatial audio that enhances workouts. Despite not boasting five-star sound quality, these buds have an awful lot of good for us to recommend them.
One of our favorite features is the newly introduced heart rate monitor, which is accessible via the Health app or your compatible, linked fitness app. This will be particularly useful if you don't own one of the best smartwatches or best smart rings to do this for you.
We also love the long battery life, which means the Powerbeats Pro 2 can last up to 45 hours total between both the earbuds and the charging case, something our tester was able to confirm from personal testing. This is much longer than the original Powerbeats Pro, and even the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2, our pick for the best workout earbuds.
This Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 deal is well worth a look, but it won't be for everyone. If you'd like to explore other options, check out our guides to the best workout headphones and best running headphones.
