The long-rumored Beats Powerbeats Pro 2, frequently spotted in the clutches of various sports VIPs (myself included), have some big shoes (ears) to fill.

After hours of hands on-testing I can happily report that these are a brilliant pair of workout headphones, although I’m not sure it’s because of their new flagship feature – the much-touted built-in heart rate monitor.
