In an Instagram post, Beats teased that the long-anticipated Powerbeats Professional 2 will launch in 2025. First launched in 2019, Powerbeats Professional was the corporate’s first true wi-fi earbuds. On the time, Apple’s subsidiary nonetheless used Cupertino’s H1 chip. With wing-like sterns that go round your ears, the earbuds have been nice for out of doors sports activities however had a number of drawbacks.
For instance, the charging case was too cumbersome, and also you couldn’t wirelessly cost it. Beats additionally didn’t add Energetic Noise Cancelling, Transparency Mode, or (on the time nonetheless unexistent) Spatial Audio.
5 years after its authentic launch, Powerbeats Professional doesn’t match the current Beats lineup, the place the corporate presents an analogous sound to all of its audio merchandise however differs in different perks. Within the sneak peek of Powerbeats Professional 2, we see that the corporate is tweaking the design, though it is going to preserve the wing-like sterns as a signature of this product.
With that, it’s potential that Powerbeats Professional 2 might be a distinct fashion of earbuds for individuals who dislike the Beats Match Professional design with a stern that goes inside your ear (and in addition wants a second era ASAP).
That being stated, these are the options I hope Beats brings to Powerbeats Professional 2:
- Smaller charging case: After introducing one of many smallest charging instances in the marketplace with the Beats Solo Buds, I hope Beats could make the brand new Powerbeats Professional 2 charging case thinner so you’ll be able to, at the very least, put it in your pocket
- New USB-C port: The unique Powerbeats Professional makes use of a Lightning port; for the second era, Beats will seemingly help USB-C
- Wi-fi charging capabilities: Nonetheless speaking in regards to the case, I hope this new era brings a wi-fi charging case. Not all Beats earbuds supply this performance, however these premium earbuds deserve it
- Spatial Audio help: Apple’s signature know-how must be obtainable for this product, as Dolby Atmos has been an enormous a part of Apple Music and Apple TV+ experiences
- ANC and Adaptive Modes: The unique Powerbeats Professional provided nice passive noise canceling, however a second era wants correct ANC; AirPods Professional’s Adaptive Mode would even be essential for these earbuds, particularly throughout out of doors exercises
- Profile Modes: Though I’m not an enormous fan of Profile Modes, they’re one among Beats’ signature options for the Beats Studio Pro. If the corporate provides them to the brand new Powerbeats Professional, this might imply Beats thinks these earbuds are actually premium.
BGR will let as soon as we be taught extra about these upcoming earbuds.
