In partnership with Apple, Beats has come up with some new headphone models
Designed as an activewear, the headset can be adjusted to the ears and is targeted at gym goers or people who run regularly. Furthermore, the Powerbeats Pro is much lighter and smaller than its predecessors.
The specs of the wireless activewear
Equipped with a H1 chipset, the Powerbeats Pro has been compared to the AirPods. This is not a surprise as Beats is, after all, a subsidiary of the technology giant. The headphones offer 9 hours of playback time and can be charged directly in their cases. Volume and track controls are integrated separately in each bud. Siri is also featured on the headphones.

Availability of the wearable Projected to be available in around 20 countries, the Powerbeats Pro has been priced at $249.95 in the US. Furthermore, the headphones will be released gradually as from May 2019 on their official website.
