Beats by Dre just announced the company’s first wireless earphones.

Powerbeats announcement

The Powerbeats Pro have up to nine hours of battery life, are waterproof, and have adjustable ear-hooks to secure onto your ears.

Beats has yet to announce a release date for the new earphones, but they won’t come cheap. The Powerbeats Pro will cost $250. You can buy Air Pods for $100 cheaper on Amazon. 

Like Air Pods, the Powerbeats Pro come with a small, portable charging case. Hopefully, the Powerbeats Pro won’t have issues with exploding on users. 

Gym rat friendly

Powerbeats WorkoutThe Powerbeats Pro are marketed toward fitness junkies who don’t want their headphones falling off while working out.

According to the Beats by Dre website, the headphones are, “designed to keep up with your toughest workouts.” 

If you’re in a hurry, the earphones have a five-minute quick-charge feature. After a five-minute charge, the earphones will have 90 minutes of listening time. 

The earphones are available in four colors: ivory, black, moss, and navy.
