Powerbeats Pro Preview: Everything AirPods aren't... almostApple's Beats by Dre is taking a page — and an H1 chipset — out of the AirPlay playbook with bigger, around-the-ear, longer lasting, noise isolating, more colorful Powerbeats Pro — coming this May.
You know the one about AirPods 2 not having iPhone-style water-resistance, Apple Pencil 2-style soft touch texture, Bose-style noise cancelation, or fitting those outside the 80% curve of Apple's earbuds? Well, Apple's Beats by Dre subsidiary is aiming to scratch a few of those remaining items, or pain points, off the list with the all-new, just announced PowerBeats Pro, which look to bring a little variety to the truly wireless game.
