Beats drops three new colors for the Fit Pro, including a eyeball-searing yellow

The Beats Fit Pro, an excellent set of noise-canceling wireless earbuds, now come in three new color options: Coral Pink, Volt Yellow, and Tidal Blue. They’ll be available from Beats, Apple, and various retailers starting February 23 for the same $200 price as other Beats Fit Pro colors.

Unlike its parent company, Apple, which has never strayed from its iconic white color for the AirPods family of wireless earbuds, Beats is no stranger to colorful variations on its products. The brand has a long track record of releasing special limited-edition collaborations with artists, athletes, and brands, some of which have been anything but ordinary when comes to color.

The Fit Pro were launched in 2021 in four colors: black, white, gray, and pink. In 2022, those options were joined by three special-edition colors developed in conjunction with Kim Kardashian and designed to blend rather than stand out: Moon, Dune, and Earth.

In keeping with the Beats tradition of launching new products and colors with celebrities, the three newest Beats Fit Pro colors are being promoted with the help of singer, songwriter, and actress Chlöe Bailey and American tennis player Frances Tiafoe.

The Beats Fit Pro are immediately recognizable because of their curved, integrated ear wingtips, which help to anchor the earbuds in place. This makes them a good alternative to the company’s Powerbeats Pro, which use an around-the-ear earhook design. The Fit Pro also leverage many of the technologies that Apple has been adding to the AirPods family, like active noise cancellation, hands-free Siri, and head-tracking spatial audio.

Manufacturer 1More has a new set of wireless earbuds that further reduce the cost of active noise cancellation (ANC). The $70 PistonBuds Pro, which come in white and black color options, are available right now on Amazon.com.

Like the original $50 PistonBuds, the PistonBuds Pro are very small. They're not quite as small as the recently released 1More ComfoBuds Mini, which are the smallest ANC earbuds you can buy, but the PistonBuds Pro are almost identical in size to the tiny $150 Beats Studio Buds. The PistonBuds Pro have moved away from the stem-based design of the PistonBuds, which should help those with larger ears get a secure fit, as the PistonBuds' stems tended to stop the earbuds from being more deeply inserted.

Next-gen AirPods could let others override your ANC

Ever since Apple debuted its now-iconic AirPods true wireless earbuds, it has been expanding what these handy devices can do. The list now includes hands-free access to Siri, enhanced hearing with Conversation Boost, head-tracking spatial audio, and the super-popular combo of active noise cancellation (ANC) and transparency mode. But if a recently published patent application is any indication, Apple could soon let a trusted person remotely disable ANC mode, just by uttering a pre-determined word or phrase.

The patent application, entitled "Interrupt for noise cancelling audio devices" was first spotted by AppleInsider, and it details -- at great length -- how AirPods owners could allow their attention to be grabbed by another person, by automatically shutting off ANC mode when that person says a specific passphrase.
