Author: Apple is working on Beats Powerbeats Pro 2! This is definitely true: the new Beats wireless headphones are on the FCC website. The company filed an application already in March of this year.
Beats Powerbeats Pro are among best wireless headphones TWS that you can buy. With long battery life, great sound quality and thoughtful design, including air vents that reduce the pressure of the headphones on your ears, they are also among best running headphones.
A year after their launch, Apple released additional model variants in four bright colors - this could mean that Apple is not quite ready to release a new version of the second generation headphones.
There are not so many details of Powerbeats Pro 2, and without official confirmation from Apple we can only guess about the release date, technical characteristics and sound quality. However, there have been some pretty big discounts on Powerbeats Pro in recent days, suggesting that Apple is holding promotions ahead of the release of the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2.
Nevertheless, I think it is worth considering the main parameters of the model that could be improved in the future!
Powerbeats Pro 2 review
- What are the new Beats headphones called? Powerbeats Pro 2 are TWS wireless earbuds.
- When is the Powerbeats Pro 2 release date? The estimated release date for the headphones is June 2020.
- How much do Powerbeats Pro 2 cost? Based on the experience of past models, the price will be $ 250 (17,500 rubles).
Powerbeats Pro 2 release date
While Apple has yet to announce a release date for the Powerbeats Pro 2 (or at least confirm their existence), I would venture to guess when we see the new Beats headphones.
It is possible that the novelty will be announced at WWDC 2020, which is due to take place on Monday. June 22, 2020... Most likely, we are expected to update iOS 14, as well as updates in the form of iPadOS 14, macOS 10.16 and watchOS 7.
Even though WWDC is a programming event, it would be a good time for Apple to make such an announcement. And with applications and patents piling up, I think the release date is very close.
By the way, there were also rumors that the first oversized headphones Apple AirPods Studio will launch at WWDC 2020. So it's hard to believe that Apple will allow its own headphones to outshine the new Powerbeats Pro 2.

If we don't see Powerbeats Pro 2 in June, the next release window may not arrive until October. In the FCC filings, which I believe represent new earbuds, Apple has required the FCC to discard external and internal photographs, as well as demonstration of test settings and user guides before 12 October 2020... This could coincide with the tech giant's annual iPhone event.
Powerbeats Pro 2 Headphones: What's Already Known?
In April, Apple filed a new document with the FCC that describes the Powerbeats Pro 2. FCC ID BCGA2453 describes "fully wireless high-performance headphones" and corresponds to Apple model numbers A2453 and A2454. While whether these two different model numbers correspond to the two newer Powerbeats Pro versions remains to be seen.
Unfortunately, Apple has demanded that the FCC drop the photos until October, so it will take some time before we can confirm our suspicions. Without photos or documentation, there isn't much information in the synopsis. In addition to the frequency at which the headphones will operate (2.402-2.48 GHz), and some technical information about the type of wireless transmitter.
Whether the FCC registration will be tied to the release of the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 or some minor changes remains to be seen. In the meantime, we've put together a wishlist to see if Powerbeats Pro 2 really does it all!
Can't wait to find out? We've rounded up the best prices for Powerbeats Pro below so you can get your hands on original true wireless headphones.
Powerbeats Pro 2: what we want to see
While I really liked the Powerbeats Pro, there are several features that I would like to see in future development.
Noise suppression
This was a big omission in the Powerbeats Pro, which could only offer limited noise isolation without built-in Active Noise Cancellation technology. I wish Apple would follow the example of the AirPods Pro and give users the chance to block annoying sounds with a tap of the touch case.
Customizable sound
The Powerbeats Pro ruined the Beats reputation for sounding too low by offering a more neutral sound profile. Although we liked the sound quality, the problem is that Apple did not provide the ability to change the equalizer settings, either through the app or through the preset sound profiles. A companion app with a customizable equalizer will give Powerbeats Pro 2 users the ability to truly personalize their sound by adjusting the bass, mids and treble to suit them.
Waterproof with IP rating
The IPX4 waterproof rating offered by the Powerbeats Pro was good, but I think Apple will take it one step further and improve that figure. The IPX4 rating means the original Powerbeats Pro could survive drops of sweat, splashes, or the occasional splash of water from a bottle. But imagine how great it would be if you could swim in them?

Compact charging case
I would like to see the charging case for the new Powerbeats Pro 2 not as bulky as it was in the previous version. A thin and small case is especially important for workouts, as shorts and leggings don't always have deep pockets in which to store all of your gadgets.
Battery life
Yes, in the first model the battery life was good, but it was clearly not enough. Therefore, in Powerbeats Pro 2, it is worth increasing this time by using the affordable and effective Lypertek Tevi.
