This chip enables features like hands-free Hey Siri, fast pairing over Bluetooth, audio sharing, and a larger Bluetooth range. The Powerbeats 4 charges with a Lightning connector and something called “Fast Fuel” which will give you up to 1.5 hours of battery life from five minutes of charging.
They have a different design than the previous model, resembling the Powerbeats Pro with the cord sitting behind your ears.
Powerbeats 4 will be available to purchase Wednesday, March 18 from Apple and other Beats retailers like Best Buy. They come in white, red, and black.
