Apple has opened the ordering process for its new Beats Studio Buds in this country. The wireless earbuds are now available in several European countries, including France, Germany, Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom.
The Beats Studio Buds feature an in-ear design similar to the AirPods Pro, but without a stem protruding from the bottom. This makes them incredibly compact, especially compared to the Powerbeats Pro. Beats says the Beats Studio Buds represent their "smallest and most subtle form factor yet," with each bud weighing just 5.1 grams. Apple has already commented on the product as follows:
When designing such a small product, every tiny detail was considered, analyzed and selected to optimize sound quality, comfort and durability. The Studio Buds are our smallest and most subtle form factor yet, yet still deliver on Beats' promise of an immersive sound experience in a beautiful design.
Beats Studio Buds – The highlights
The Beats Studio Buds come with three different sizes of soft silicone ear tips, allowing users to customize the fit to make them as comfortable as possible. Even though there is no stem, the Beats Studio Buds have physical playback controls on both earbuds. Instead of capacitive touch controls like the Apple AirPods, the Beats Studio Buds use a physical button on the end of both buds for control. Here are the highlights:
- Available in three colors: black, white and red
- "Hey Siri" support
- Support for quick pairing with iOS and Android
- Find My App integration
- Active noise cancellation and transparency mode
- 5 hours of battery life with ANC or transparency mode enabled
- Up to 8 hours of playback with ANC disabled
- 24 hours of combined playback with the charging case, which has a USB-C port.
Anyone who wants to have the new earphones can order them now from Apple for 149.95 euros. The product has already been Amazon listed, but cannot be placed in the shopping cart at the moment. (Image: Beats)
