Apple Debuts Special Edition Powerbeats Pro in Fun New Colorways

[MacRumors]

Apple's Beats by Dre brand today announced the upcoming launch of a new set of limited edition Powerbeats Pro earbuds that have been designed in collaboration with fashion designer Melody Ehsani.

Available in two split colorways that include pink/red and blue/yellow, the earbuds both have a little eye logo and a saying: "If you can read this you're too close."

The Powerbeats Pro are set to launch on Friday, November 11, and they will be available on Apple's website. Apple has not shared pricing, but standard Powerbeats Pro are priced at $250.

Powerbeats Pro are fitness-focused earbuds for athletes, featuring silicone ear tips and earhooks to hold the earbuds securely in the ears.

An H1 chip is included for features like spatial audio, fast device switching, automatic connection, and more, and they feature IPX4 sweat and water resistance.

The earbuds offer nine hours of listening time, which can be extended to 24 hours with the included charging case. There are on-device volume and track controls, along with "Hey Siri" support, a fast charge feature, and Find My integration.

Give us a Jet Black version of the AirPods Pro!

 

[randolorian]

Is there a difference in meaning between "in fun new colors" and "in fun new colorways" in this context?

 

[Realityck]

You can always rely on power beats pros to come in too many color combos. It’s never ending.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Dang! looks cool. They will be sold out quickly.

As a person who seriously values my personal space, they've finally put out a set of Beats that I'm tempted to get. 😂

It doesn't matter who the "collab" or "Beats x Blah-Blah-Blah" person is...these buds are still gonna sound like having subwoofers in your ears. And why no Yeezy/Ye version? He's available for co-branding right now!
;-)

Perfect for our pandemic times)

 

[NARadyk]

Erm… they’re certainly niche.

 

[doboy]

Too bad you can't personalize the message like F off

 

[codq]

I mean, those are hilarious.

 

[Taselcult]

I have the original and sound wise they are fairly good. not too "base heavy" like their bigger brethren. Sad that it's out a re-skining of the originals. Was hopping at some point they'd get updated specs.

 

[Unregistered 4U]

Oh no how embarrassing! I’ve been on the internet long enough to know that the quote SHOULD go:
“If you can reed this your to clothes”

Hopefully they’ll have an opportunity to fix this before it ships.

Maybe not from the factory, but, depending on how the color is applied/molded, there may be plenty of options from etsy sticker makers once you scrub it off.

I’m waiting for updated specs too! I’m hoping for USB-C charging, MagSafe charging, and whatever the new Apple Watch charging on the AirPods Pro is called.

Until then, I’m sticking with my PowerBeats4.

I'm surprised that the design is attributed to Melody Ehsani.

The art style seems directly taken from Drake's "If you're reading this it's too late" album cover.

Even the eye seems inspired by Drake (Summer Sixteen cover).

I don't know who Melody Ehsani is, but as far as I know she's not responsible for Drake's stuff.

Waiting for some actual new Powerbeats Pro that are brought back up to feature parity with Airpods Pro. Give me some noise cancelling/transparency mode on some buds that have earhooks please.

 

[sorgo †]

Kinda ugly with the writing, but the colors are nice

 

[Starscape]

$250. No shame at all.

 

[LawJolla]

I kind of dig it. But the Powerbeats pros are going on, what, 4 years?

 

[blairh]

Why aren’t these being updated?! Hardware is very dated now.

 

[california_kid]

Shouldn't it be "If you can hear this, you're too close?"

 

[Unami]

ugh - I know, 90ies color-schemes are back, but still - those look like chewing toys for a toddler.

 

[Berti10]

I‘m wearing those right now. They are from the first batch in 2019. Still buggy e.g. the sound changes after using Siri, and the case is trash, often charging only one Earpiece and letting the other one go to 0.
