- Beats just unveiled the Powerbeats Pro, which are truly wireless headphones just like Apple’s AirPods.
- The debut comes after Apple released a new pair of AirPods in March that offer the option for wireless charging and "Hey Siri" support.
- Here’s a look at how the two new headphones compare.
Coming on the heels of Apple’s second-generation AirPods announcement, Beats has announced a new pair of wireless earbuds, the Powerbeats Pro. They’re launching in May and will cost $250.
Like the latest AirPods, the Powerbeats Pro run on Apple’s H1 chip which enables faster pairing with devices. And while the two headphones bear some similarities, the pricier Powerbeats are a more premium choice that have more to offer when it comes to custom fitting options and audio quality.
Here’s how the AirPods and the Powerbeats Pro wireless headphones compare:
The Powerbeats Pro have a much different design than Apple’s AirPods that includes hooks meant to be wrapped around the wearer’s ear.

Like many wireless headphones, the Powerbeats Pro feature ear hooks to allow for a snug and secure fit. The hooks are also adjustable.
AirPods, comparatively, look very similar to the wired EarPods that come included with every iPhone — minus the cable.
