Apple's Upcoming Beats Studio Buds+ Earbuds Spotted in FCC Database

[MacRumors]

Apple is working on a new version of the 2021 Beats Studio Buds called the Beats Studio Buds+, and a launch could be nearing based on the fact that Apple has submitted FCC filings for the device. There are two listings, one for each Bluetooth-enabled earbud.

We first heard about the Beats Studio Buds+ in March following the launch of the iOS 16.4 release candidate. The Beats Studio Buds+ look similar to the Beats Studio Buds and will have similar functionality, according to details obtained by MacRumors.

The earbuds will continue to use a Beats chip, but Apple is planning to add improved Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency to the Beats Studio Buds+.

There is no word as of yet on when Apple plans to launch the Beats Studio Buds+ or what the pricing will be, but with potential advancements over the current $150 Beats Studio Buds we could see them priced a bit higher.

It’s probably the bestseller though

I'll never understand why the Beats brand is still around.

Personal branding.

How can that be? They don't come in Moon, Dune, or Earth colors like the Beats Fit Pro

Hmm... I wonder if it's because they still sell

Global TWS (true wireless stereo) shipments grew 17% in Q1 2022 to reach 68.2 million units, according to the latest Canalys data. Market leader Apple’s TWS shipments were up 14%. Apple’s AirPods line grew 3% to reach 19.3 million units, while Beats by Dre, Apple’s audio sub-brand, contributed more significant growth, increasing 553% to reach 2.4 million units. Beats’ strong performance was driven by the popularity of its Studio Buds and the recently launched Fit Pro.

I just bought a pair of Beats Studio buds when they went on sale for $99 on Friday. The new model better be announced before my return window closes.

Powerbeats Pro are about to turn 4 years old and are still being sold by Apple. Just update those! And no I don't want the Fit Pro's. I need ear hooks!

 

[DogHouseDub]

Studio? Like a yoga studio?

 

[MiloCody]

Pretty good mid-tier buds, cheaper feeling than BEATS FIT PRO, but those ear hooks does dig in.

What will see an update first, Powerbeats Pro or Mac Pro? Both are approaching their 4 year anniversary

I wish Apple makes a Studio with an H2 chip.

 

[Paddle1]

Studio? Like a yoga studio?

A studio where music is produced I assume.

If it's that similar to the Beats Fit Pro (BFP), I'll pass. The BFP was OK but the fit wasn't that great even though it stayed in the ear better than the APP. Upgraded the silicone tips to foam tips and the BFP's ANC still wasn't that good compared to the APP's ANC while overall sound quality was OK but the microphone wasn't that great as people said I sounded distant on phone calls.
I'll still use the BFP but won't consider newer versions.
Currently, looks like the original APP is still relatively better for functionality and performance.

Think I’ll wait for the Beats Studio Buds ++

Dang, you're right, that proves they'd be a failure if they were Apple branded like other Apple products, which is what they are.

 

[jforsander]

Just used my Beats Studio Buds in a phone call with transparency mode for the first time and wow they sound like trash. Nothing at all like the Beats Fit Pro. Hopefully the new Studio Buds+ can significantly improve upon this.

In terms of new Beats products, I'm dying to see a proper successor to the Beats Solo Pro. I know I'm practically the only person who likes this model or on ear headphones in general, but I'd love to see a new model with USB-C and all the niceties of the AirPods Pro (2nd Generation): H2 chip, spatialized audio with dynamic head tracking, adaptive transparency, adaptive EQ, and real find my support.

 

[ophh1]

Yet Beats is still selling the Solo3 and Studio3 that use MICRO USB cable to charge. What the actual……

 

[bLackjackj]

I'll never understand why the Beats brand is still around.

Well how else is Apple going to sell earphones in black?..sheesh!

 

[12soldier]

Why do the "b"s look like 6's to me? These just aren't worth it to me.

 

[svish]

Hopefully it will come in some new colours.

 

[Swift]

Well, I still can’t fit any other thing like this in my ears. Apple’s stuff falls out any time I move my head. The little horns that Beats Fit Pro use means I can watch entire movies without dropping them and having to hunt under the sofa.

I'll never understand why the Beats brand is still around.

Dr. Dre, that's why.
