Apple has introduced the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2, a successor to its popular workout earbuds. While the new model brings a host of refinements, its most notable feature is the inclusion of built-in heart rate monitoring, making it the first Apple product to incorporate this functionality.
We had previously reported that Apple is working on bringing heart rate tracking to its future AirPods, but the feature has made its way to the Beats lineup first. The Powerbeats Pro 2 use LED optical sensors that pulse light 100 times per second to measure heart rate.
