Apple’s latest sporty wireless earbuds are now official: meet the Beats by Dre Powerbeats

To no one’s surprise, there are now new Powerbeats earphones. We say that because apart from all the leaks, the earbuds showed up on Walmart’s shelves just a couple of days ago.

What is surprising, however, is that instead of being called Powerbeats 4 as everyone expected, they’re just Powerbeats. The name has little importance, however, so let’s see what’s new with this pair.

First, the design. The new Powerbeats get a major redesign but that doesn’t mean the design is necessarily new. In fact, they look almost identical to the Powerbeats Pro that were released last April. The biggest difference is that the Pros are truly wireless while the two earbuds of the Powerbeats are connected with a wire.
