The biggest feature is that it is equipped with ANC.This is the first model with ANC as a “Beats brand's complete wireless earphone” (this expression is already a standard with ANC in the company's headphones).

And since the brand is an Apple product, it is also perfect for Apple Music's Dolby Atmos spatial audio (3D audio).

In addition, the price released this time was affordable, so it will be characterized by the degree of bargain.Especially if you are an Apple Music member, a model that can enjoy spatial audio cheaper than AirPods should be a powerful appeal point.

On the other hand, regarding the controller chip you are interested in, there is no description of the model name at present, and it has been introduced as "Evolved Digital Processor".

The possibility of Apple H1 seems to be great because it supports hands -free startup by calling "Hey, Siri", and the possibility of Apple H1 seems to be great, but this is necessary to wait for the analysis after the release (or before the release).There will be a place.

By the way, the ANC function is equipped with two types of modes that also have an external sound import mode (although it is natural for an imadoki product).The simple point has been appealed, saying, "Switching the mode is just pressed the button once."

The following feature is that it has IPX4 -level sweat -resistant and water resistance, which is "protected by water flying".Beats is an important point for fans because it is also a sports -oriented brand.The protection grade is the same as the top model "Powerbeats Pro".

And the driver unit, which is important as an earphone, is a diameter of its own development..2mm dual diaphragm type.The driver itself (and magnets and coils) are two pairs, but two diaphragms.

In addition, the housing (acoustic room) is a dual chamber type with two rooms separated into two rooms.This claims that clear sounds and advanced stereo support are realized.

In addition, the battery drive time is also high level like an imadoki product.The ANC and external sound import mode are on, and the main unit alone is up to 5 hours.Up to 15 hours in combination with a charging case.If you turn off ANC, you can extend up to 8 hours/up to 24 hours each.

In addition, it supports the quick charging function "Fast Fuel" to appeal "up to 1 hour playback with 5 minutes fast charging".

The size of the charging case itself is very compact like the 2021 model.The terminal is of course USB Type-C, and the attached cable is Type-C to type-C specification.

It also features an app for Android for BEATS brand products.You can perform basic operations from the app side, check the status of devices such as the remaining battery level, and update the firmware from the app.

Of course, the iPhone and iPad support these at the OS standard level, just like the AirPods series.

And the so -called high -speed pairing, not only iPhone/iPad, but also Android.On iPhone and iPad, one -touch pairing familiar with AirPods, etc., and Android can use Fast Pair, so you can connect quickly with a wide range of models.

In addition, it supports not only iPhone and iPad's "Search" apps, but also "Find Terminals" for Android -equipped machines.It is the first Beats product to support this both environment.

Such "no environment on the device side, and even the iPhone can maintain a high function" is only when the Beats brand stands, but this unit can be said to be achieved at a higher level.。

In this way, Beats Studio Buds is not an exaggeration to say not only with active noise canceling, but also compatible with iPhone/iPad (unique to Apple products), but also generous Android environment support.It is a greedy new model that can be noticed in terms of price.

In terms of price, some people may say "I betrayed my expectations in a good way" or "I want this".The 2021 complete wireless earphone has already been a big topic of Sony "WF-1000XM4", but this unit can definitely be called a model that can definitely be noticed in terms of bargain and versatility.Source: Apple Store Product Page, Kyodo News PRWire (News Release)
