Apple's Beats brand in April unveiled the Powerbeats Pro, a redesigned wire-free version of its popular fitness-oriented Powerbeats earbuds.
Powerbeats Pro to Launch in Black in May, Other Colors Coming This Summer
Apple's Powerbeats Pro, set to launch in May, will only be available in black when they first go on sale. The detail, first noticed by 9to5Mac, was recently added to the Powerbeats Pro listing on the Beats website.
Powerbeats Pro will eventually be available in Ivory, Moss, and Navy alongside the standard Black color, with Apple offering a greater range of colors than are available with the AirPods.
Powerbeats Pro offer many of the same features first introduced in the AirPods 2, including an H1 chip for fast connectivity to an iPhone and simple switching between devices, Hey Siri support, and a dedicated charging case, though one without wireless support. Automatic ear detection, microphones for phone calls, and physical buttons are all included with the Powerbeats Pro.
Compared to the AirPods, the Powerbeats Pro offer longer battery life with nine hours of listening time per earbud along with more than 24 hours of additional battery life via the charging case.
Apple says sound was its "highest priority" when developing the Powerbeats Pro, and because these earbuds offer silicone tips that fit in the ears, sound isolation is an included feature.
Powerbeats Pro will be launching in May, though Apple has not provided a specific release date or specified whether preorders will be available. For more on the Powerbeats Pro, make sure to check out our guide.

Is there an optional sticker to get rid of that silly number 6?
Still, it's better than L & R

Black is the only color of these that isn't horrible, so... seems OK to me these are launching first.

I'll get a pair to complement my Airpods, for situations where I need noise isolation. Black is just fine because it's the only color that doesn't scream "b" in a contrast color. :rolleyes:

Well, I guess since either of the two colorways I like won't be launching until later, this gives me plenty of time to find out if they sound good or sound like Beats.
Exactly my thoughts. I want the moss green variant, so plenty of time to watch and read all the reviews.
