Same here. Transparency mode for when I could be near traffic, livestock, dogs etc. Noise cancelling for the rest of the time

I really like my Powerbeats Pro 2, they sounds great and fit well with the Apple ecosystem. I use them over the AirPods Pro 1

I used to think like that too, totally with the idea of the small case small form factor for everyday use but the powerbears hit different, the first couple of days when i got the first powerbeats it wasn't fun to fiddle with the hook but then it became a second nature i don't even think about it and i got it for the gym nothing more because the buds that i had back then were falling out of my ears everytime. The second i got used to it i started using it daily not giving a shit about the case size cause they eere that good and loud, then i got the fit pro it was the same thing fiddle with the hook get used to it but now the ANC is an extra plus on top of all the good things about the powerbeats just the noise level is a bit quieter. Now the powerbeats 2is a different story i love it, it's almost the same thing as the powerbeats one but has ANC I don't really care about the heart rate monitor i have my watch to do that. I. Short the powerbeats 2 is in my opinion the best out of all of them eventho i hate the look of it but who cares once you put them on. You have to try it for couple of days to get used to it.

Since mukhang willing ka naman na dalawa yung gamit mo: 1. Powerbeats Pro 2 for the gym - solid na rin ANC neto if maingay sa gym mo, or if you simply don't want being bothered 2. Shokz Opendots One - open ear para safe ka sa long runs If budget won't allow, just go for PB2 tapos disable nalang ANC when doing long runs

Based on what you said about integration, sound quality, and qol. I definitely think they are better than airpods.

Dre best pros gen 2 do a really good job, but the safest option is bone conductive headsets. Edit: the name was actually Beats Powerbeats Pro 2

Beats Powerbeats Pro 2. They have little hooks to keep them on your ears and they stay in even on rough gravel roads.

Been using Powerbeats pro for years, they’re great for working out. I just upgraded to the 2nd version they’re great

Powerbeats pro 2. Noise cancelling/transparency+ over ear hooks so they won't fall out. Small and light.

Powerbeats Pro, either the original (cheap now) or the new ones with noise cancelling and transparency. They have the hooks so they ain't going anywhere. Pop one of these on and off you go. If you need both ears turn on transparency mode. Benefit of these over something like Shokz is that you can use them for your everyday headphones as well.
