Apple’s much-rumored Beats Studio Buds+ earbuds have already been spotted in at least one Best Buy location. Leaker Ben Geskin has shared a photo of a box containing a pair of the new earbuds. The box shows that the earbuds will have a transparent design option, and longer 36-hour battery life with the included USB-C charging case.
Beats have not officially announced the Studio Buds+, but the earbuds made a brief appearance on Amazon last month, showing a May 18 release date and a $169.95 price. That listing also revealed a few details about the earbuds, including 3x larger microphones, new venting, a “powerful” processor, and up to 1.6× as much active noise cancellation as the original Studio Buds.
Beats Studio Buds+ are a sporting-based alternative to the AirPods Pro, offering a more compact design, lacking stems on the AirPods Pro. The removed Amazon listing indicates the earbuds will also be available in Black and Ivory color options.
As also mentioned in deleted Amazon listing, Studio Buds+ will also boast IPX4-rated water resistance and will be available with XS, S, M, and L ear tip size options.
