If you're looking for a pair of workout earbuds that can do a little more than just play music, the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 won't disappoint. They have built-in heart rate monitoring for tracking your workouts, plus the secure ear-hook design to keep them right in place. And right now, Amazon has them down to $199.95, saving you $50 on the usual price.

As you'd expect, the sound quality is second to none, plus they come with varying levels of noise cancellation. When you need to focus during a workout, the Active Noise Cancellation helps block out distractions, while Transparency mode lets outside sounds through when you need to hear what's happening around you, like traffic or other runners.

But the major selling point for these earbuds is, of course, the heart rate monitoring. They use sensors inside the earbuds to monitor your pulse during exercise, taking readings more than 100 times per second. They're also rated IPX4, so they can handle sweat and splashes of water or rain during a workout.

Battery life lasts up to 45 hours of listening time with the charging case, and if you need a quick top-up before heading out, a five-minute Fast Fuel charge gives you up to 1.5 hours of playback.

You can find these earbuds on sale online at Amazon now.
