Our Verdict
Beats Powerbeats Pro 2
Suunto Wing
The Suunto Wing and Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are both headphones catered to people with active lifestyles. The Beats feature heart rate sensors and ear hooks for stability, while the Suunto have an open, headband-style design that features bone conduction transducers. The Suunto feature an IP67 rating that indicates stronger resistance to dust and water exposure compared to the Beats' IPX4, making them the better option for the hardcore outdoorsy. That said, the Beats have top-tier active noise cancellation and transparency modes, allowing you to choose between near-perfect isolation while concentrating on training and awareness when jogging on a busy trail or in the city.
