The Beats Studio Buds+ look similar to the
Beats Studio Buds that were initially introduced in 2021.
9to5Mac has suggested that the earbuds will be upgraded to an H1 or W1 chip, but
MacRumors has learned that the Beats Studio Buds will continue to feature a Beats chip rather than the H1/W1.
Apple is planning to add improved Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency to the Beats Studio Buds+, which still have some time to go before they see a public launch.
The original Beats Studio Buds were introduced in 2021 and were positioned as a cheaper alternative to the AirPods. The Beats Studio Buds are priced at $150, and the new model is likely to have a similar price tag.
