Apple has recently unveiled the Beats Studio Buds+, the successor to the Beats Studio Buds, as the company’s latest true wireless earbuds. This new offering comes with various improvements, such as an improved fit, enhanced Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), Transparency mode, better microphones, extended battery life, and more.
Beats Studio Buds+ specifications
One notable feature of the Beats Studio Buds+ is its transparent design, although it differs from Nothing’s Ear series buds, which sport a clear design. The earbuds also come with an additional extra-small eartip option to provide a better fit.
Apple claims that approximately 95% of the internal components of the Beats Studio Buds+ are brand-new. These include upgraded voice-targeting microphones, which are three times larger than their predecessors, resulting in improved call quality. The earbuds also retain their IPX4 sweat and water-resistant ratings.
Users can easily switch between Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Transparency mode with the push of a button. The ANC on the Beats Studio Buds+ is said to be 1.6 times better, while the Transparency mode is 2 times better compared to the Studio Buds. These improvements are attributed to enhanced ANC processing and a revised vent design. Additionally, the Buds+ supports Spatial Audio for Dolby Atmos on Apple Music but lacks the head-tracking feature found in the Beats Fit Pro and certain AirPods models.
The Beats Studio Buds+ utilizes the “Beats Proprietary Platform” for features like “Hey Siri” and Find My. They also offer compatibility with Google Fast Pair and Audio Switch, enabling users to seamlessly switch between Android, Chromebook, and other compatible devices. Furthermore, they support Google Find My Device.
With ANC turned off, the Buds+ provides up to 36 hours of total battery life (9 hours for the earbuds themselves and an additional 27 hours with the charging case), surpassing the 24-hour total battery life of the Studio Buds. The earbuds also offer fast charging, providing 1 hour of battery life with just 5 minutes of charging. However, they do not support wireless charging.
Beats Studio Buds+ pricing and colors
Apple Beats Studio Buds+ is available in Black/Gold and Ivory color options, along with the Transparent model. They are priced at $169.99 and are already available for purchase in the United States.
