What to Expect from Beats Studio Buds Plus

Back to the Beat Studio Buds Plus, The Verge notes that sources close to the matter revealed what we could expect from it.

The news outlet notes that the new "Plus" variant offers a couple of welcome upgrades, usually seen on higher-end earbuds like the AirPods Pro.

It is set to offer improved active noise cancellation, allowing users to block out external noise while they are wearing the earbuds. The transparency mode is also set to get a huge bump.

Essentially, the Plus option offers better overall noise cancellation and transparency features. Given these upgrades, it might be price a bit more expensive.
