Reputable Apple leaker Sonny Dickson shared a first look at a prototype pair of Powerbeats Pro 2 in a transparent colorway. Apple initially debuted the Powerbeats Pro 2 back in February, in four stunning colors.

Sonny notes that these are likely just a prototype version, though he doesn’t rule out the possibility of these potentially being released in the future, noting that if Apple does release it, they’d be “much more polished.”

Either way, it’s always cool to get a look at the innards of our tech products, and the Powerbeats Pro 2 are no exception.

You’ve probably seen transparent AirPods floating around — here’s the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 version. Likely just a prototype for now, but if Apple ever releases it, expect a much more polished finish. pic.twitter.com/WKJ21Arnrw

As Sonny mentions, we’ve seen many prototype pairs of transparent AirPods in the past. Apple also released a pair of Beats Studio Buds+ with a transparent color option in 2023, though they exposed a lot less than these prototypes do.

Nonetheless, if you were ever wondering what transparent Powerbeats Pro 2 might look like – you now have an answer.

Anker 25K Compact Battery Bank

Featuring two built in cables, a built in display, multiple ports, a 25,000mAh capacity, and up to 100W of output - this is one of the best battery banks for recharging your entire Apple ecosystem on the go.

AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C)

Despite a new version reportedly being around a corner, I still personally believe AirPods Pro 2 are a great deal. They're already equipped with USB-C, and continually gain new software features. With them consistently going on sale, it's a great purchase to make. Features like Adaptive Audio are incredible.
