Beats is getting ready to introduce an improved model of its wireless Studio Buds. With [active noise cancellation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quietcomfort-ultra-earbuds-2nd-gen), an enhanced transparency mode, and a black and gold finish, the design is substantially the same as the original Beats Studio Buds debuted in 2021. The Studio Buds are designed to be relatively cross-platform and to appeal to users of both iOS and Android devices.

The Studio Buds Plus, like the original model, won't include an [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/futura-laboratories-1) audio chip like the [H1](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beats-fit-pro). They won't have automated device swapping between Apple products either. The brand has not confirmed a release date for the Beats Studio Buds Plus, but interested parties can expect them to release in the near future.
