Apple introduces new Beats Solo Pro wireless noise-canceling headphones
Although everyone knew the Google is holding an important event today, Apple has decided to introduce a new product on the same day. It's true that the new Beats Solo Pro headphones won't compete with any of the Google's devices announced today, they will certainly get less exposure.
The Solo Pro are Beats' first headphones to feature active noise-canceling and charging via Lightning. Also, they use Beats' Pure Adaptive Noise Canceling (Pure ANC) technology with updated tuning to accommodate the on-ear form factor.
Just like the Solo3 Wireless and Studio3 Wireless headphones, these can be folded up, but they don't fold flat. They embed Apple's H1 chip, which delivers faster, more stable wireless and is compatible with iOS and Android devices.
As far as battery life goes, Beats claims the Solo Pro should offer up to 40 hours without Pure ANC or Transparency turned off. Users can also get up to 22 hours with Pure ANC or Transparency turner on. Also, the headphones offer up to 3 hours of full-featured playback with just a 10-minute charge using the included Lightning cable.
