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).
Yes! That's my biggest complaint of the beats. I prefer them to the AirPods Pros—just gave my wife my pair of APPs, but the CASE is a brick, and not very pocketable, so I use them less than I otherwise would. It's the whole reason I tried the AirPod Pros in the first place. I would like but don't really care about the noise cancelation--I would even be cool with a third party non-charging case, just something that isn't sticking caseless Powerbeats in my pocket.
 
As I noted in another thread on these, I own the Jabra 65Ts, and love them.

I'm thinking Jabra is a little worried about the Beats Studio Buds as I've been getting emails from them almost daily with sales on everything from their 65 to their 85 series earbuds. They're definitely trying to move some product right now before the BSBs come out.

Will these beat the new sony wf-1000xm4 to market?
I'm getting both.
Seems the embargo was lifted and a few reviews of great design and quality of still somewhat bulging out from the ear for some reviewers on your tube if you search. So far The Verge has the most insightful overall review vs preview. Ipx7 rating for sweat and water resistance is very welcome over the m3’s. They’ve improved the hybrid ese tips as well so looking forward to that. And voice call quality sounds it March AirPods Pro. If in real world with initial firmware is correct I’ll be buying to test these out.

Ordered as soon as they appeared on Amazon. I've been happy with Sony earphones for many years so have every faith these will be fantastic. Looking forward to the smaller size and hopefully weight compared to my WF-1000XM3's.
