Apple’s AirPods are really popular. Last month, Apple released a second-generation model that brings new features but keeps the design of the first-gen model. Yesterday, Apple-owned subsidiary, Beats by Dre, announced the Powerbeats Pro truly wireless earbuds which share a couple of features with the second-gen AirPods.
The Powerbeats Pro wireless earbuds are nothing like the AirPods in terms of design. It stays firmly in your ears thanks to its ear-hooks, and unlike the AirPods, it comes in four different colors – Black, Ivory, Moss, and Navy.
The earbuds are designed for athletes and Apple says it worked with real athletes to know what they want. The Powerbeats Pro is said to provide balanced audio, improved dynamic range, and enhanced clarity while being comfortable.
Each earbud has its own playback and volume controls and automatic sensors that know when they are in your ears and also support “Hey Siri”. They also have great and stable connectivity as they are powered by the new Apple H1 chip too.
Each earbud will provide up to 9 hours of listening time on a single charge. Combined with the case, you will get more than 24 hours of playback. They also automatically connect to your Apple devices. The good news is the Beats by Dre Powerbeats also works with Android devices and you will also be able to use it with any Assistant of your choice.

Unfortunately, the case charges via a lightning port and not USB type-C. It also doesn’t support wireless charging. And unlike the earbuds themselves, the case isn’t sweat resistant.
The Powerbeats Pro will sell for $249.95 and will be available in May.
