Beats Solo Buds: A Quick Recap
Launched in April 2024, the Beats Solo Buds focus on ergonomic design with custom acoustic architecture and laser-cut vents. However, they lack Active Noise Cancellation, distinguishing them from higher-end options like the AirPods Pro 2.
This firmware update, although subtle, is an encouraging sign of continued support for Beats products.
