We won't lie when we say the recently-launched Powerbeats Pro 2 earbuds seem pretty awesome. The original Powerbeats Pro were impressive, and this second iteration brings a few new features to the party that we're jazzed about. But if you're looking for a great deal, you'll want to stick to the original model, because they're on sale for a massive discount today.

As of Feb. 12, the Powerbeats Pro earbuds are on sale at Best Buy for just $129.99, down from the list price of $249.95. That's a 48% discount that'll save you $119.96. Keep in mind the price for the new Powerbeats Pro 2 clocks in at $249.99.

If you're one to wear earbuds while working out, the Powerbeats Pro are ready to serve. The adjustable secure-fit earhooks are there to keep those earbuds securely on/in your ears. That means no sprinting, jumping, or lifting will cause them to pop out. They're also resistant to sweat, so you won't have to worry about that summer workout.

Beats mentions you can get about nine hours of battery life which increases to over 24 with the included charging case. A quick, five-minute charge will add 1.5 hours of listening time.

Raymond Wong reviewed the Powerbeats Pro earbuds for Mashable in 2019, giving them a Mashable Choice Award. "Compared to AirPods, Beats Powerbeats Pro sound better, have longer battery life, and fit better," Wong said.

The only negatives of the review included the high price and chunky charging case. Of course, the charging case is the same size, but the price is now significantly lower thanks to today's sale price at Best Buy that takes 48% off the normal price.

Of course, you'll be skipping out on the upgrades that come with the latest model, including the addition of heart rate monitoring. The Pro 2 are also said to have improved sound, battery life, and call performance. They also come in fun colorway options like Hyper Purple and Quick Sand, while the sale price on the Powerbeats Pro means you'll be sporting black earbuds.

However, if price is a consideration, you might be better off with the original Powerbeats Pro earbuds. After all, they're still impressive earbuds that are great for working out, and it's hard to deny the super discounted price of $129.99.
