The Beats Studio Buds Plus, an unannounced upgrade to the wireless earbuds, has been spotted in at least one Best Buy store in the US, according to tech tipster Ben Geskin. Although they are not yet available to purchase, their presence in stores confirms the existence of the product. The upgraded earbuds are expected to be released in the coming days.
Images shared by Geskin reveal that the Beats Studio Buds Plus will be available in white, black and transparent colours, and will include active noise cancelling. The earbuds will reportedly offer a 36-hour battery life with the case, up from 15 hours for the original version. They will be priced at $169.95, according to an earlier leaked Amazon listing.
As Apple’s AirPods and AirPods Pro compete in the crowded wireless earbuds market, the Beats Studio Buds Plus is shaping up to be a solid upgrade with improved battery life and noise cancelling, according to experts. The earbuds are expected to support voice commands and will feature a similar design to the original model.
Apple is yet to confirm the release date for the Beats Studio Buds Plus. However, as the product has been spotted in stores, it is likely that the company will make an official announcement in the near future. The upgrade is expected to be welcomed by music lovers who are looking for an affordable yet high-quality audio experience.
