- Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has discontinued its Powerbeats Pro wireless headphones five years after the fitness-focused alternative to AirPods were released, according to reports.
- However, the Powerbeats Pro 2 will be released sometime in 2025, according to a teaser posted on X last month by Beats by Dre. They are expected to have a heart rate monitor as well as noise cancellation and spatial and adaptive audio features.
- “It’s unclear why Apple didn’t continue producing the headphones until their successor was ready for launch,” said 9to5Mac in a report today.
- The Powerbeats Pro has been removed from the Beats website and is no longer available on the Apple Store.
- Apple ticked up 1.5% by early afternoon trading on Friday.
