Galaxy S25 Edge Gets Re-Tested In New Benchmark Leak, With The Overclocked 8-Core Snapdragon 8 Elite Displaying Its Full Potential In The Multi-Core Tests

Powerbeats Pro 2’s Heart Rate Monitoring Is Expected To Arrive To The AirPods Pro 3, But Apple’s Top-End Wireless Earbuds Are Months Away From Launching

Apple introduced heart rate monitoring to the newly announced Powerbeats Pro 2 as part of the company’s efforts to continue pushing health-focused features to a bevy of products. However, with the AirPods Pro 2 now supporting Hearing Aid, it is strange that the company brought something unique to a non-AirPods-branded pair of wireless earbuds instead of waiting for the AirPods Pro 3.
