The Release Date of the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2
There aren’t too many details about the Powerbeats Pro 2, and without official confirmation from Apple, we can only speculate about the release date, specifications, and sound quality. However, there have been some pretty big discounts on the Powerbeats Pro in recent days, suggesting that Apple is running promotions ahead of the release of the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2.
It is possible that the release date of Powerbeats Pro 2 is autumn 2024 on the annual autumn presentation of Apple. For instance, in 2022, AirPods Pro 2 was presented at the autumn presentation. Perhaps this year, Apple will surprise us and show a new long-awaited version of Powerbeats Pro 2. And with applications and patents piling up, we think the release date is very close.
Last Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 Rumors
Apple has filed a new document with the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) that describes the Powerbeats Pro 2. FCC ID BCGA2453 describes “totally wireless & high-performance headphones” and matches Apple model numbers A2453 and A2454. While whether these two different model numbers correspond to the two new versions of the Powerbeats Pro remains to be seen.
It is worth saying that the application date is April 2020.
Since then, rumors about the Powerbeats Pro 2 have appeared in various sources around the world, suggesting that a sequel to the popular Beats Powerbeats Pro is coming soon.
A Few More Facts About Why New Headphones Should Be Released
The Apple Beats line is getting more and more popular. A total of 68.2 million true wireless headphones and earbuds were shipped in the first three months of 2022, according to new information from Canalys.
This result represents a healthy 17% increase from twelve months earlier.

How Much Will Powerbeats Pro 2 Cost?
The Powerbeats Pro 2 will likely be priced at $249 / £219 / AU$349 at launch, similar to its predecessors. Of course, this may change and Apple may adjust the price to match the rest of its audio products.
What Do We Want to See in the New Headphones?
Whether the FCC registration will be linked 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 wish list to see whether Powerbeats Pro 2 really does it all!
ANC (Active Noise Canceling)
This was a big omission from the Powerbeats Pro, which could only offer limited noise isolation without built-in active noise cancellation technology. We wish Apple would take a cue from the AirPods Pro 2 and give users a chance to block out annoying sounds with just a dab of the touch case.
IP Waterproof
The IPX4 waterproof rating offered by the Powerbeats Pro was good, but we think Apple is going to go one step further and raise this rating. An IPx4 rating means the original Powerbeats Pro could resist sweat, splashes, or the occasional drops of water from a bottle. But imagine how great it would be if you could swim in them.
Custom Sound
The Powerbeats Pro broke Beats’ reputation for sounding too low by offering a more neutral sound profile. While we actually liked the sound quality, the problem is that Apple didn’t provide an option to change the equalizer settings either through the app or through pre-installed sound profiles. A companion customizable EQ app gives Powerbeats Pro 2 users the ability to truly personalize their sound by customizing bass, mids, and treble.
Compact Charging Case
We’d 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 to put all your gadgets in.
Battery Life
Yes, in the first model, the battery life was at a good level, but it was clearly not enough of it. Therefore, in Powerbeats Pro 2 it would be good if time increases.
