First chance to save on the Quick Sand Powerbeats Pro 2 at $63 off, black at $198 (Open-box, 1-yr. warranty)

Reg. $249/$186

The open-box deals are flying this morning courtesy of the Best Buy Outlet Sale, and we just spotted the best price ever on the brand new Powerbeats Pro 2 in the Quick Sand color. While you will find the Jet Black variant marked down to $197.99 in “excellent” open-box condition, the Quick Sand set has now dropped to $185.99 shipped. 

As of now, there hasn’t been a single deal on a brand-new set of the latest Powerbeats Pro 2 from the Apple sister brand – they haven’t dropped once from the regular $249 list price at Amazon. All things considered, this isn’t all that surprising as it tends to take months to see any slight price drop on the new Beats in-ear releases as of late. 

The Best Buy open-box listings have been the only really notable chance to save – we previously saw the black set drop to $186 for a brief time and now the Quick Sand is seeing its first notable discount (the other two colors are yet to see any price drops). 

Like most of the internet, we came away quite impressed with the latest health and workout-focused Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 after getting a chance to go hands-on for review. We said they “tick all the boxes with heart rate monitoring, slimmer design, H2 chip, more.”

Just some of the highlights here are the onboard heart rate monitoring, H2 chip-powered operation, up to 45-hour battery life with the case, onboard Find My tracking, one-touch pairing, automatic switching, Audio Sharing, hands-free Siri, and more. A complete rundown of the user experience awaits right here. 

Powerbeats Pro 2 features:

• Powerbeats Pro 2 is the most advanced headphone we’ve ever made, with secure-fit earhooks that stay locked in as you train. With over 1,500 hours of athlete testing to help ensure a secure, comfortable fit for any ear shape and intensity level.
• For absolute workout focus, we added the best-performing Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) we’ve ever developed, plus Transparency mode to let you hear the world around you, ensuring the best listening experience wherever you train.
• Heart Rate Monitoring sensors pulse over 100 times per second to measure your pulse in real time. And Powerbeats Pro 2 is sweat and water resistant with an IPX4 rating, so they’re tough enough to handle training in rain, snow and heat.
• Powered by the Apple H2 chip for extraordinary efficiency, Powerbeats Pro 2 delivers up to 45 hours of battery life with the charging case. The case is 33% smaller than its predecessor and is our first ever to feature wireless Qi charging.
