Apple will reportedly offer up to eight different colors for the rumored AirPods Pro, according to a new report from China’s Economic Daily News. Additionally, higher quality images of the charging case for the wireless earbuds are said to have leaked.

The report claims that the AirPods Pro will offer color options such as white, black, and midnight green, departing from the first two versions of the wireless earbuds that only come in white.

Apple may be trying to match the AirPods Pro colors with the different options for the iPhone 11 lineup. Rumors of a black version of the wireless earbuds have been circulating, but the Chinese report is the first one to claim that there will be multiple color options.

Meanwhile, new images of the AirPods Pro charging case were uploaded to SlashLeaks.

The Weibo account where the images originated claim that the charging cases are Chinese knockoffs. However, the design is still believed to be based on the real thing.

The holes inside the AirPods Pro charging case are similar in size and shape to those found in current AirPods charging cases. There is a protective blue covering on the components, and there are no visible markings or internal components, which suggests that the charging case came from a plastic casing supplier.

Apple was expected to unveil the AirPods Pro, alongside the rumored redesigned MacBook Pro and over-ear StudioPods headphones, at a canceled October event. Apple’s new wireless earbuds are still expected to launch soon though, with some reports claiming that the accessory will arrive as soon as the end of October.

The AirPods Pro are believed to be water-resistant to ward off a few drops of rain or sweat. The new version of the wireless earbuds is also expected to come with a noise-canceling feature, which will be made possible by a new design that includes silicone tips at the end. If it will indeed come with noise-canceling capabilities, the accessory may come with a bigger battery to support the feature, as well as a new chipset.

The AirPods Pro is also rumored to be more expensive than the $200 price tag for the current model, possibly as high as $260.

This accessory turned my AirPods into a giant mech head

You’ve probably heard of a tech accessory brand called Casetify by now. It’s one of the higher-quality brands of tech accessories out there, and it’s particularly known for having a ton of customizable products, as well as many unique collaborations with artists and well-established brands — including Disney, Star Wars, Peanuts, and more.

The Evangelion x Casetify is one of the latest collaborations that the company has launched, and it should appeal to anyone who is a fan of the Neon Genesis Evangelion anime and manga series. There was even an “Impact!” launch event in Tokyo’s Shinjuku district, where a 4-meter tall, 7-meter wide EVA–01 bust was put on display, with the mecha holding a Casetify Impact case that features an iconic NERV design.

This touchscreen AirPods case is the worst thing I’ve seen all week

If you know me even the slightest bit, you’ll know that I’m a big Apple fan. I have an iPad, Apple Watch, and multiple Macs. And even though I’ve been diving into the world of Android phones, my primary device is still an iPhone 14 Pro. I also always have my AirPods Pro 2 with me, whether that’s at home or when I’m out at Disney parks — they're always on me in some way or another.

But as much as I like Apple, there are certainly some things that will make me scratch my head and go “Huh?” The latest one is what appears to be a new patent held by Apple that could lead to an AirPods case with an integrated interactive touchscreen.
The patent does what now?

OnePlus Buds Pro 2’s spatial audio makes me want to ditch the AirPods Pro

The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 Bluetooth earbuds are among a half-dozen gadgets OnePlus launched at its Cloud 11 event. These earbuds intend to elevate your sound experience with a rich and highly customizable audio profile, Google's Fast Pair support, high-fidelity (Hi-Fi) audio through the LDAC and LHDC Bluetooth audio codecs, Dolby Audio, and noise cancellation.

While these features have essentially been carried over -- and slightly improved -- over the first generation of the OnePlus Buds Pro launched last year, the Buds Pro 2 are equipped with spatial audio capabilities that help create a realistic and experiential 3D audio space around you. Along with spatial audio, the earbuds also support head tracking to simulate an ambiance that changes as you move your head around.
