Now Beats seem to be rejoining the fray, with an updated model of the Beats Studio named the Beats Studio Pro. In that naming convention where Pro now just means newer or more expensive, these aren't going to be reference headphones for a studio – but they might just be a great pair to wear on the bus.
New Beats Features
Spotted by aaronp613 on Twitter, there is a 'hint at a new Beats Headset' in the macOS 13.4 release candidate. Aaron has also managed to get his hands on some images of the new headphones, and there are a couple of things of note.
There's a USB-C port clearly visible on the bottom of the right ear cup for example, and a 3.5mm headphone jack on the other – something that the AirPods Max don't have. 9to5Mac reports that the headphones will have improved noise canceling, as well as a new transparency mode, and Personalised Spatial Audio. Of course, until the headphones have actually materialized none of this can be said for sure, but they are some exciting additions that bring the headphones up to the level of their competitors.
