Heart rate and audio always from a device

Fitness youtuber DC Rainmaker has found that plug in relation to fitness equipment A significant problem Is: If you want to use it to transfer heart rate data to a treadmill, a staper, a stand -up or any other sports instrument, you cannot listen to music from the iPhone at the same time. Only a connection is allowed between the Powerbits Pro2 and any other device, which then covers both channels – ie music and heart rate data.

“You cannot hear music with iPhone at the same time and be associated with a fitness device for heart rate (data),” Beats confirmed the DC rainmaker. Accordingly, one has to hope that the fitness device will provide its content – for example Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube or through a television reception – which can then be transferred to Powerbeats Pro 2 via Bluetooth, otherwise the game session will not be out of entertaining.

Android works (still) is better

Another problem with Powerbeats Pro 2 is APP coverage. Currently there are only a surprisingly low fitness programs on the iPhone that accept the heart rate measurement of the plug. DC Rainmakers did not succeed in any app, reaching for an Android device, where it worked for several known programs. Eventually, the Nike Run Club app worked in the Mac and I Test, Beats have so far listed Pelotons, Running or Slops.

The direct support of Apple’s fitness app is not for PowerBeats Pro 2, the data can reach the health database through third -party software such as Nike Run Club. In addition, plugs are always out when you have an apple watch: if you wear Powerbeats Pro 2 and Apple Watch at the same time, only clock data is used, which Apple clearly assumes more accurately.
