Early Monday, Apple made the official announcement of the new earbuds, 9to5Mac reported.
The set is designed to be a cheaper alternative to the Powerbeats Pro, as they cost $50 less than the Powerbeats 3.
However, the major difference between the new earbuds and the Pro is that the Powerbeats 4 are not entirely wireless.
Apple has moved the cable to behind the ears, instead of the front, so it does not get in the wearer’s way.
The Powebeats 4 do not boast the same nose-canceling technology as the Powerbeats Pro, but they do have a new multi-microphone system that will ‘target your voice and filter out external noise’ to make calls clearer
Because these are not truly wireless, they comes with a Lightning Port and include USB-A to Lightning cable
The earbuds are said to have 15 hours of battery life, which is three more than the Powerbeats 3, and is designed with Apple’s H1 chip.
The chip gives users the ability to access Siri via a voice command instead of having to push a button.
