Apple has filed the unreleased "Beats Studio Buds" in the FCC or Federal Communications Commission database under model numbers A2512 and A2513. The new filings come after the reveal of the new earbuds last week within the release candidates for iOS and tvOS 14.6.
The new earbuds feature a smaller design with no stem, much in line with what we're expecting to be a similar design language for the second-generation AirPods Pro. In addition, according to code found within the latest iOS release candidate, the new Beats Studio Buds will feature Active Noise Cancellation, currently a feature exclusive to Apple's AirPods Pro and AirPods Max.
Today's new FCC filings reveal nothing new about the design or the feature set of the upcoming earbuds; however, its filing indicates that a release should be imminent.

I would like something new to compliment by AirPods Pro and AirPods Max. I kinda missed Beats as they have a look that makes you standout on the street.
Any news on Powerbeats Pro 2 model? I like the ear hooks.
Have there been any good leaks (like documentation) that suggest there will be a Powerbeats Pro 2? I wonder if they will be replaced by these buds.
I too would love to see a Powerbeats Pro 2 with noise cancellation (and maybe a smaller case). The hooks and long battery life make them great for workouts and being stuck on calls (use one at a time).
Seems the embargo was lifted and a few reviews of great design and quality of still somewhat bulging out from the ear for some reviewers on your tube if you search. So far The Verge has the most insightful overall review vs preview. Ipx7 rating for sweat and water resistance is very welcome over the m3’s. They’ve improved the hybrid ese tips as well so looking forward to that. And voice call quality sounds it March AirPods Pro. If in real world with initial firmware is correct I’ll be buying to test these out.
Ordered as soon as they appeared on Amazon. I've been happy with Sony earphones for many years so have every faith these will be fantastic. Looking forward to the smaller size and hopefully weight compared to my WF-1000XM3's.
