Beats discontinues several products including Powerbeats, Solo Pro, and Beats EP - The Verge.

The Powerbeats Pro is now the true wireless earbuds to... Beat. If you're an iPhone user, AirPods can be attractive, but the PowerBeats Pro are the better companion for your smartphone. Sweat resistance, actual noise isolation, and a secure fit in your ears make these the true wireless earphones you want in Apple-land.

Apple hasn't issued any statement on the discontinued products, but looking at the entire Beats lineup, its prices, and the products no longer offered, it seems likely that Apple is just simplifying the lineup by removing a few products that no longer fill useful spots in the product lineup.

Your Powerbeats Pro earbuds each provide up to 9 hours of playback. With the charging case, you can get more than 24 hours of playback. And with Fast Fuel, you can get up to 1.5 hours of playback after you charge for 5 minutes. When the case battery is less than 40% charged, the LED on the front turns red.

Audio performance really comes down to personal preference, as both earbuds sound great. Both the Apple AirPods Pro 2 and the Beats Fit Pro perform well during calls, with the users voice being broadcast clearly. If anything, the AirPods are a bit better, likely thanks to the processing capabilities of the H2 chip.

Following the launch of the Beats Fit Pro this morning, Apple has discontinued several older Beats headphones options, including the $150 Powerbeats, the $250 Beats Solo Pro, and the $130 Beats EP on-ear headphones.

The Beats Fit Pro earbuds can last for up to seven hours of continuous playback, slightly edging out the six hours you get from the AirPods Pro (with ANC enabled in both cases). But the AirPods charging case holds more extra juice than the larger-sized Beats case.

If you listen to audio in a loud place or want to hear whats around you while listing to audio, choose the beats. If you enjoy spatial audio and don't need noice cancellation, go for the AirPods.

If you want a stylish and versatile pair of noise-canceling headphones that works great on both iOS and Android, the Beats Studio Pro are well worth it.
