Apple launches 'transparent' Beats Studio Buds+: All you need to know

Apple subsidiary Beats has launched all-new TWS earphones – Studio Buds+. This time, it comes transparent – so you can see through it. Apart from being transparent, it offers a range of features, to name a few, better noise cancellation and longer battery life.

Apple last experimented something similar with iMac G3 in the late 1990s with a translucent see-through. That Apple move inspired Nintendo to launch translucent Gameboys. But, the spell didn't last any longer and it faded away with time.

Apart from this, in current times, another consumer tech firm that attempted to repopularise the trend is Carl Pei's Nothing with its Nothing Buds and also Nothing Phone (1). It flaunted a see-through panel on the back with glyph lighting attached to it.

Beats Studio Buds+

Now that Apple has unveiled its latest iteration of the Beats Studio Buds+, it features a striking transparent appearance. The design takes inspiration from initial mockups created by Beats, aimed at showcasing the internal components of their products. Interestingly, customer feedback indicated a desire for an actual version of the transparent design.

What's new?

The new earbuds deliver up to 1.6 times more powerful Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). Moreover, it also supports Google Fast Pair – allowing automatic pairing with all Android devices in a single tap as well as Find My Device.

In terms of battery life, users can enjoy up to 36 hours of usage, with 27 hours provided by the charging case and nine hours offered by each earbud, as per the company. For quick charging needs, the 'Fast Fuel' option is there.

Beats Studio Buds+ Price, availability

Beats Studio Buds++ comes at £179.99 in the UK and $169.99 in the USA. While the Transparent option will be making headlines – but those who disagree can look forward to Black/Gold and Ivory.
