If there’s one product that Beats has taken its candy time upgrading, it’s the Powerbeats Pro. Released again in 2019, these wi-fi earbuds (and their signature ear hooks) have sat within the firm’s product lineup ever since with no significant {hardware} modifications. But the time has lastly come for an all-new mannequin. Today, Beats launched a teaser for the Powerbeats Pro 2, which will likely be launched someday in 2025.
In the clip, we see the in-ear match of the revamped design showcased by baseball sensation Shohei Ohtani. Fans of the ear hooks will likely be completely satisfied to see that they haven’t gone anyplace; if you would like a hook-free design, Beats affords loads of different choices, together with the Beats Fit Pro, Studio Buds Plus, and Solo Buds.
At the time of their debut, I used to be an enormous fan of the Powerbeats Pro. But they’d a irritating tendency to get finicky when it got here to charging, with the earbuds usually failing to recharge until you seated them within the (very large) case excellent. I’m hoping Beats has made some refinements for the sequel. The bar for sound high quality has additionally been raised significantly since 2019, so you possibly can count on some upgrades on that entrance.
The timing of this teaser is definitely attention-grabbing; Beats’ father or mother firm, Apple, is extensively anticipated to announce two new units of AirPods subsequent week — one in all which is able to reportedly characteristic lively noise cancellation. But should you had been planning to make use of them on the health club or on runs, perhaps that is Beats’ means of claiming “not so quick” on these upcoming preorders.
