Apple has introduced the new Beats Studio Buds+. It has a couple of upgraded features, but what most people will really care about is the new transparent version.
The Beats Studio Buds Plus has a Transparent color option that lets you see the internals of the charging case and the buds themselves from the outside. It has that retro look reminiscent of the iMac G3 from 20 years ago.
Your traditional color options are still here. There’s Ivory if you want something cleaner or go with Black/Gold for a subtle look.
The new Buds+ also offers up to 1.6x better active noise canceling (ANC) thanks to the 3x bigger microphones, and a more powerful processor. There are two dynamic listening modes to choose from.
It also has 2x better transparency mode and spatial audio. The said triple microphone setup also led to better call quality.
As per Beats, the new Studio Buds+ can deliver reach and immersive music thanks to the custom two-layer transducer that offers cleaner bass and ultra-low distortion. It also has three vents that let the music move more freely for a more powerful sound and reduces pressure for better comfort.
For battery, the buds and the case can offer up to 36 hours of total listening time. It also has a fast charging feature that can already provide 1 hour of music with a quick 5-minute charge.
Each bud also has customizable controls so you can control the music, calls, and ANC modes. Sadly, no volume control. The buds are also IPX4-rated for being sweat resistant.
What’s interesting is, the new Studio Buds+ works with Google Fast Pair and Google Find My. That’s on top of Hey Siri and Apple Find My support, of course, with deep integration with the Apple ecosystem.
The new Beats Studio Buds+ is now listed on Apple’s official website for Php9,490.
