Apple is expected to launch its new earbuds, Powerbeats Pro 2, as a successor to the Powerbeats Pro true wireless stereo (TWS) earphones. It is rumoured to get upgraded features alongside an improved design.
The launch timeline for the earphones has now been suggested in a newsletter. The second generation of the TWS earphones was hinted at by the company in September 2024 and details about it started surfacing online.
Powerbeats Pro 2 launch
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the Powerbeats Pro 2 is “due imminently.” Apple is reportedly planning to hold product briefings to discuss the features of the purported earphones with the media "in a week or so" — claimed to happen later this month.
Earlier, Apple previously confirmed that the Powerbeats Pro 2 will be launched in 2025.
Powerbeats Pro 2 features (expected)
The Powerbeats Pro lineup is claimed to be a more fitness-focused alternative to the AirPods Pro series. The headset has inbuilt, adjustable ear hooks, which are said to ensure a comfortable fit. The Powerbeats Pro 2 is expected to feature a more vertical, slimmer design.
Users will expectedly be required to wear both earphones for the feature to work. The heart rate data could be connected to a piece of fitness equipment and the data could be synchronised with the Health app.
According to MacRumors, the Powerbeats Pro 2 will support Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), spatial audio, and adaptive audio.
It is rumoured to offer longer battery life and enhanced cross-platform compatibility, including support for features like Find My Device and better sound quality.
The Powerbeats Pro 2 is claimed to be available in four colour options: Electric Orange, Hyper Purple, Jet Black, and Quick Sand.
