In addition to this, after the launch of the Beats Fit Pro, which are $200 earbuds from Beats by Apple, the company is removing some of its products, with the audio brand no longer offering Beatsā Solo Pro, Powerbeats and the Beats EP.
To repeat, this was first seen by MacMagazineĀ and multiple users on Twitter just hours after the announcement of the new earbuds, with the listings for the Beats EP, Powerbeats and Solo Pros now unavailable at Appleās online store and the Beats by Dre site
There was no proper announcement, but from this removal, we can think of the earbuds to be unavailable for the foreseeable future, since the models no longer appear on the online sites of both brands.
Therefore, the Beats brand now offers a fully wireless lineup that consists of the new Beats Fit Pro, Beats Studio Buds, Beats Flex and the Beats Solo3, alongside the Powerbeats Pro and the Beats Pill+ speaker.
