With a price of Dh918, from the Beats by Dre website, the PowerBeats Pro are Dh89 cheaper than the listed price of Airpods on the Apple website.
For those on the move
Aimed at athletes as well as music-lovers on the go, the earphones offer a "totally wireless" experience. Coming in black, ivory, navy and moss colours, they are designed to cater for different ear sizes and various levels of physical activity.
In addition to the company's claim that these are "23 per cent smaller" and "17 per cent lighter" than the AirPods, the PowerBeats Pro promises a sonic upgrade, low distortion and clear "voice performance" when it comes to your phone calls.
Fast charging
As for battery life, each ear bud has up to nine hours of listening time. The earphones power on when removed from their case and will charge once they're back in. A five-minute charging session can result in a 90-minute uninterrupted listening experience, while 15 minutes can get you four-and-a-half hours.
