Beats Studio Buds+ Launching in May With New Transparent Design Option, Improved Noise Cancellation, and More

But then again, Apple was the first to do the clear case/body thing with the original iMac which you can say these are paying tribute to.

Don't thinks so, you may want to fact check.

I have an origional Nintendo Gameboy in a clear case design. So does that mean Apple are copying Nintendo? 🤦‍♂️

I wouldn’t mind if Apple introduced something like this. I want to feel like Nothing. 🫥

Only if for some reason they outperform the Airpods and are due for the 'forced upgrades' program when too much customers are hanging onto them for too long and sales decline.

So, in other words, after that time period, you'll regret paying so much for the Beats / AirPods?

How dare you post unauthorized copies of the Apple AirBeats Pro prototype? Steve Jobs wants to speak with you!

They should work well for two or three years until the batteries don’t hold charge anymore and they go into a landfill.

Will these also feature reduced ANC performance when Apple updates the firmware?

I'm still salty AF over this happening to my OG AirPods Pros. I wish someone would have made a ballistic gel head with dual mics inside the earholes are and ran a whole slew of sound test.

With items like the AirPods Apple can keep doing the same thing over and over without there being a baseline benchmark for people to call them out on. Unlike the iPhones and Macs that have numerous benchmarks out in the wild where Apple couldn't dare nerf a previous gen product to make the new one look better without extreme backlash.
All we have with the Gen 1 AirPods Pros is heresy, but it's coming from an army of people who have noticed it, including myself. I'm suuuuuuuuper salty on this still.

Why would Apple Beats have a "nothing" edition? Yet it's not that transparent, feeling strange to me, especially since it's not transparent-oriented for the structure...

May 18 release date

They were up for preorder. The preorder sold out. I put one in for the heck of it. Amazon doesn’t charge until it ships, so if they end up being revealed as mid, Ill just cancel.

 

[pamon]

That call from apple to Amazon couldn’t have been a nice one. Apple like would you mind waiting until we release it first before launching a presale? Lol

 

[SFjohn]

I see Nothing… 😉

Why would Apple Beats have a "nothing" edition?

Because Apple is "nothing" anymore? Reminiscent of Picasso's Blue Period. Love Tim Cook's big big energy.

Awesome! Big fan of the original Studio Buds. Find them much more comfortable and unobtrusive than other BT in-ear options and the new transparent version is a winner. The weakest point of them was always the noise-cancelling/transparency compared to the competition so this will be a welcome upgrade.

Clear plastic? 90s are back, baby. Yeeeeah.

 

[erikkfi]

I’d love to get some AirPods that look like this.

 

[DJC631]

That actually looks really freaking good. Would buy.

 

[svish]

Good to see the transparent design. But would also like to see AirPods in new colours.

 

[coolfactor]

So Permanent Transparency Mode?

 

[coolfactor]

Apple: "You never saw it coming. Literally."

The biggest issue for AirPods Pro is the short battery life for buds. It's super frustrating that I had to put them back for an hour every few hours.

I'm considering buying a second pair so that I have one ready to go at all times.

I do have a Sony XM3 but it's falling out of my favour.

 

[lazyrighteye]

I would gladly accept one (1) new color option for AirPods.

AirPods could/should mirror - or draft off of - iPhone / iMac colors.

AirPods Pro’s could mirror iPhone Pro / MacBook Pro colors.

People love colors and Apple loves differentiation. Win-win.
