Additionally, the retail box confirms that the device will come with Active Noise Canceling, up to 36 hours of battery life with the case, and a USB Type-C charging case. To compare, the original Studio Buds offers 24 hours of battery life.

As for the design, the Apple Beats Studio Buds+ will feature an in-ear stemless design, just like its predecessor. The device will come in black and white color options. The earbuds will get an IPX4-rating for water resistance.

The earbuds sport the Beats logo and will come in XS, S, M, and L ear tip sizes to accommodate various ear types, according to an Amazon listing. The device works with both Apple and Android devices.

The Beats Studio Buds+ will feature 3x larger microphones and up to 1.6 times the active noise cancellation as its predecessor. The device also supports Hey Siri, automatic device switching, one-touch pairing, and Find My.

There's also support for spatial audio and improved Transparency mode. The Beats Studio Buds+ were first spotted in iOS 16.4 code, followed by an appearance on the FCC site. Apple hasn't officially announced the Studio Buds+, however, the Amazon listing indicates that the device will debut on May 18.
