Study Finds Powerbeats Pro 2 Earbuds So Gym-Optimized They Now Refuse to Play Anything but EDM Remixes

In a stunning leap forward for fitness technology, Beats’ Powerbeats Pro 2 earbuds—now a whole $50 off at major retailers—have reportedly become so gym-optimized that they automatically reject any song not on a Spotify ‘Workout Bangers’ playlist.

“When I tried to play Mozart during my cardio session, the earbuds just whispered, ‘Push harder, champ,’ and started blasting Zedd,” said Chad Rollins, a fitness influencer and self-described ‘wellness entrepreneur.’ “I think they sprained my ears on purpose.”

The Powerbeats Pro 2, lauded for their heart rate monitoring and compatibility with every fitness app known to humankind (except, crucially, Candy Crush Saga), also feature an intellectual property protection system that locks out non-athletic users. “We received reports of the earbuds auto-ejecting from the ears of anyone wearing jeans,” noted Dr. Paige Swole, Beats’ Chief Gym Integration Officer.

Retailers are quick to tout the Pro 2’s sweat-and-regret-resistant build, but critics note their IPX4 water resistance fails to prevent existential tears during failed New Year’s resolutions. “Sure, they survive rain, but will they survive the crushing disappointment of never hitting your PR?” asked wellness podcaster Brantley ‘Shredd’ McDougal.

At $199.95—down from $249—analysts say it’s the perfect price point for anyone who enjoys cardio, biometric surveillance, and mild audio superiority complexes. As one Best Buy associate noted, “If these don’t boost your gains, at least they’ll boost your ego.”
