Apple has filed the unreleased "Beats Studio Buds" in the FCC or Federal Communications Commission database under model numbers A2512 and A2513. The new filings come after the reveal of the new earbuds last week within the release candidates for iOS and tvOS 14.6.

The new earbuds feature a smaller design with no stem, much in line with what we're expecting to be a similar design language for the second-generation AirPods Pro. In addition, according to code found within the latest iOS release candidate, the new Beats Studio Buds will feature Active Noise Cancellation, currently a feature exclusive to Apple's AirPods Pro and AirPods Max.

Today's new FCC filings reveal nothing new about the design or the feature set of the upcoming earbuds; however, its filing indicates that a release should be imminent.

Just in time. Think I lost my AirPods Pro and don’t want to buy last gen when new release is on the horizon.
 
Nice I bet these won’t support lossless either. Good job Tim Apple!
who cares..under TIm we got/get the most moving forward wireless experience...that everybody now is following
I preffer what we have today, then just lossless and nothing else since 1999
 
Since the streets where I live are somewhat dangerous, I won't purchase these as I don't want attention on the street.
 
The battery life on my first generation Airpods, isn't quite what it used to be. Might have to pick up a pair of these as a nice replacement/upgrade.
 
Any news on Powerbeats Pro 2 model? I like the ear hooks.
Have there been any good leaks (like documentation) that suggest there will be a Powerbeats Pro 2?
I wonder if they will be replaced by these buds.

I too would love to see a Powerbeats Pro 2 with noise cancellation (and maybe a smaller case). The hooks and long battery life make them great for workouts and being stuck on calls (use one at a time).

Not that it is ever safe to walk down the street with headphones on, sounds like you need a new zip code.
 
Bring it on.

I would like something new to compliment by AirPods Pro and AirPods Max. I kinda missed Beats as they have a look that makes you standout on the street.
Stick with AirPods - If you want to standout on the street there's plenty of ways you can do that for free ;)
 
If they have ANC I may just have to give these a chance on the hope that they fit better than AirPods Pro.
Yeah was thinking the same thing. My Pros have been better now that I swapped the silicone tips for some memory foam, Less itching as well.

I kinda just want to hear Apple Music services in the top sampling and format they offer….

Considering the fact the this earbuds completely flew under the radar, I don’t think powerbeats pro 2 is impossible.

That said however, it’d be great to have an option without the hook when I’m not doing a workout. :p

AND I’d LOVE to see a successor to the Powerbeats pro (even if I just got my hands on one months ago)
