The Powerbeats will be different than the Apple AirPods as it will have a longer battery than the AirPods. The Airpods comes with around five hours of listening and running time so the Powerbeats will probably have a much longer running and listening time. The report also mentions that the timing of the new truly wireless Powerbeats lines up with the announcement of Beats X. The Beats X were announced back in 2016 shortly after the introduction of AirPods. And it was the same time when the company decided to build an iPhone without the 3.5mm headphone jack, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus were the phones introduced alongside the Airpods. So, they came without a headphone jack, a trend which the Cupertino-based tech giant is following till now. There were also rumours about a higher end variant of the AirPods which would have noise-cancellation features and they would be an over-the-ear headphone. But the announcement of Apple’s wireless charging AirPods doesn’t fit with the line-up of the rumours.
With the launch of the new truly wireless Powerbeats, it will become the first earbuds in the entire Beats line-up to come with a truly wireless build.
