Beats’ long-awaited Powerbeats Professional 2 earbuds are coming in 2025

If there’s one product that Beats has taken its candy time upgrading, it’s the Powerbeats Professional. Launched again in 2019, these wi-fi earbuds (and their signature ear hooks) have sat within the firm’s product lineup ever since with no significant {hardware} modifications. However the time has lastly come for an all-new mannequin. Immediately, Beats launched a teaser for the Powerbeats Professional 2, which will likely be launched someday in 2025.

Within the clip, we see the in-ear match of the revamped design showcased by baseball sensation Shohei Ohtani. Followers of the ear hooks will likely be completely happy to see that they haven’t gone anyplace; if you need a hook-free design, Beats presents loads of different choices, together with the Beats Match Professional, Studio Buds Plus, and Solo Buds.

On the time of their debut, I used to be a giant fan of the Powerbeats Professional. However that they had a irritating tendency to get finicky when it got here to charging, with the earbuds typically failing to recharge until you seated them within the (very massive) case excellent. I’m hoping Beats has made some refinements for the sequel. The bar for sound high quality has additionally been raised significantly since 2019, so you possibly can count on some upgrades on that entrance.

The timing of this teaser is actually attention-grabbing; Beats’ mum or dad firm, Apple, is extensively anticipated to announce two new units of AirPods subsequent week — certainly one of which is able to reportedly function energetic noise cancellation. However in case you had been planning to make use of them on the health club or on runs, perhaps that is Beats’ means of claiming “not so quick” on these upcoming preorders.
