While the release of its own over-ear headphones may be in doubt due to the coronavirus, Apple has launched a new pair of Powerbeats with a longer-lasting battery, Siri support, and super-fast charging over Lightning. But the best enhancement may be the price: $150, 25 percent less than the Powerbeats 3.
The new model is technically the fourth generation of the iconic earphones, but Beats has dropped the number from the name, so they’re simply Powerbeats now. The look has also changed to match the Powerbeats Pro true wireless earbuds that released last year. The earbuds also shift volume and playback controls from the neck cord to the right earbud for less fumbling.
