Earlier this month, Beats by Dr. Dre announced the highly-anticipated Powerbeats Pro truly wireless, fitness earphones with industry-leading battery life, advanced functionality, reliable connectivity and exceptional fit via the signature earhook design. Today, Beats shows these high-performance earphones in action on some of the world’s most elite athletes in its latest global campaign, UNLEASHED.
