At a time when it seems like everything that’s going to happen is leaked in advance, we’ve just seen the new Beats headphones appear online in all their glory. Amazon mistakenly posted all the information about Apple’s new Beats Studio Buds+ yesterday, before quickly removing the content from their store. Despite this, we enthusiasts of the company were able to take good note of the new features and innovations that this update to the popular Beats branded wireless headphones will bring.
A new transparent design, much more battery life and better sound quality
The design of the new Beats Studio Buds+, as reported by MacRumors, is something we did not expect to see in an Apple product in the short term, but yes, if all the information is correct, we are looking at transparent headphones. One of the most notable new features of the new Beats Studio Buds+ are the color options in which they will be available. We will be able to choose between Black and Ivory, and to this option we must add the transparent design.
If the diversity of colors of the Beats brand is something that many would like to see in the Apple AirPods, which have traditionally only been offered in white, the transparent option has attracted a lot of attention. A design that clearly stands out, in which we can see the internal components of both the charging case and the headphones themselves.
In terms of sound quality and noise cancellation features, the Beats Studio Buds+ will offer a significant improvement over their predecessors. Active noise cancellation (ANC) is expected to be up to 1.6 times more powerful, while transparency mode will be up to twice as efficient as on the original Studio Buds. This improvement will allow us to enjoy a more immersive and distraction-free listening experience, whether in noisy environments or when we want to stay aware of what’s going on around us.
The battery life of the Beats Studio Buds+ will also be a plus for this new model. With up to 36 hours of playback time, they are 12 hours longer than the original Studio Buds, which offered 24 hours of battery life. This improvement is especially relevant for those of us who make intensive use of our headphones, as it will allow us to enjoy our favorite music or make calls for longer periods of time without having to worry about constantly charging them.
The price of the new Beats Studio Buds+ has also been revealed in the leak: they are expected to be available for $169.95. A price that is very close to the current $149.99 and that seems more than justified given the improvements we are listing both in sound quality and battery.
Finally, the leak also revealed the release date of the Beats Studio Buds+, which will supposedly be May 18. Although there is no official confirmation from Beats or Apple, these new Beats have generated considerable expectation among the company’s enthusiasts, as they represent a very interesting evolution and a twist in design that could well be extended to other products.
While Amazon, Apple’s partner in the sale of the company’s products, must have access to information about future releases in advance, we should not lose sight of the fact that right now, we are talking about rumors. True, they are rumors with a very high probability of being correct, but they are unconfirmed information. In any case, if May 18 is the date chosen for the launch, while we wait for WWDC 2023 and more rumors of the iPhone 15, nothing would prevent us from seeing other surprises on that day.
