Notably, this information has been shared by leaker Ben Geskin. Leaks confirm that Apple's upcoming Beats will feature a transparent design similar to Nothing Ear (2) and a battery life exceeding 36 hours with the included USB-C charging case.
Apple's subsidiary brand, Beats, has not officially announced the Studio Buds+, but the earphones briefly appeared on Amazon last month with a release date of May 18 and a price tag of $169.95. The listing revealed that the upcoming Beats earphones will have a microphone three times larger and active noise cancellation improved by 1.6 times compared to the Studio Buds.
Beats Studio Buds+ is a sportier alternative to AirPods Pro with a more compact design, lacking the extended ear stem. The in-ear headphones will also come in Black and Ivory color options, according to the now-deleted Amazon listing.
Studio Buds+ will feature IPX4-rated water resistance and will be available with eartip size options XS, S, M, and L for users to choose the one that fits their ears best.
