Apple would not be very far from launching a new model of headphones from its Beats Studio brand.
What will be the future of the Airpods Max headphones, released almost two and a half years ago, and which still has no successor. Has the American giant put this model aside to focus on a product that has always worked well, the Beats Studio?
6 years later, a new model
When you love music, and you’re an Apple fan, you have the choice between the firm’s headphones, like the Airpods Pro 2, or the headphone option. And if you’re more of this team, you know that the Apple brand offers both its Airpods Max headphones and the famous Beats Studio, bought almost a decade ago from Dr Dre.
Popular headphones, but which had not really seen anything new since 2017 and the Beats Studio 3. A situation which will finally change, since a file relating to a new Beats Studio Pro has just been filed with the American FCC, an essential regulatory step before the launch of a new product.
And the Airpods Max then?
If lovers of this brand can rejoice, we can also ask ourselves the question of the future of the Airpods Max brand, of which no new edition has finally been marketed since December 2020. Will the release of these Beats Doesn’t Studio Pro show that Apple would have left out these headphones, which are particularly expensive compared to the Beats Studio?
This hypothesis has all the more substance since the new version of Apple’s operating system, iOS 17, seems to contain several new features that will not be available on the Airpods Max. The reason put forward would be the lack of power of these devices (at 629 euros!) to support these options, made to work with the H2 chip of the latest Airpods Pro 2. Is this the only reason?
