- After launching iPhone boxes in 2024, Beats is now marking the beginning of the cables
- It is a greater expansion in mobile accessories with an focus on affordability and fun colors.
- Beats is doing three types of cable in two sizes and four colors
Beats has already had a 2025 full with the long -awaited launch of the Powerbeats Pro 2, but for the second act of the technological brand it is a slightly different tone. No, it is not a follow -up of the return of the iconic pill speaker or a new solo sprout tone; Instead, it is a new mobile accessory and one that could not be more excited.
Together with the iPhone alignment 16 in September 2024, Beats introduced its iPhone case, an elegant and ergonomic plastic that had a microfiber lining to protect the hardware, support for MAGSAFE and perhaps the most important thing, a zafiro layer for camera control.
And now Beats is making cables. No, not for audio, but for load devices and even to achieve data transfers. Best of all, such as solo outbreaks, these are the agnostic platform and seek to use the same high -end braided materials of apple facts, but with fresh, vibrant and fun tones.
Beats cables will come in three models for this launch: USB-C to USB-C, USB-A A USB-C and USB-C to Lightning. You can choose between a shorter size of 20 cm or one more than 1.5 m, and beats offers four colors: Bolt Black, Stone, Nitro Navy and Rapid Red arises.
However, the best part could be the price. In any single cable size, it is $ 18.99 / £ 18.99 / AU $ 28.95, or Beats is selling two 1.5m cable packages for $ 34.99 / £ 34.99 / AU $ 54.95. That price only includes the cable, or two, with rhythms that are rushed to notice that a power adapter is not included. In the new place of ad, and in shared images, the rhythms cables are shown with Apple bricks of 20 watts, so for now, beats does not enter the energy market.
However, I would not be surprised to see that this beats mobile accessories division expanded again. First we have cases, now cables and I would not care about the return of a Magsafe battery pack in some fun colors.
Regarding the specifications, the beats are designed to plug and play with devices made by Apple and Android. The USB-C cable to USB-C is designed to load up to 60 watts, provided that the power supply and the device connect to support this. These cables also support USB 2.0 data transfer speeds. You can use them to synchronize, load and carplay with an iPhone, or even for Android Auto with an Android device.
USB-A A USB-C works with Apple and non-Apple devices, but the specification is a bit lower to load up to 15 watts. Data transfer speeds are the same to USB 2.0. You can also use USB-A A USB-C or USB-C to USB-C cables to feed other beats such as pill or to recharge headphones.
USB-C beats A Lightning Cables supports a quick charge with selected Apple devices: think of iPhone, iPad or even airpods. You can also synchronize or use them for Carplay.
All these have a braided and colorful design with combined color ends and rhythms, he says they are reinforced to avoid fraying and passing thousands of hours in tests to guarantee durability. While it is not specified if recycled materials are used in the cable itself, the packaging is made of 100% plants based material.
Techradar will put these cables through some tests in a short time, and if it looks like beats boxes for the alignment of the iPhone 16, I have the feeling that these will be a success. Especially for those who have wanted the USB-C cables to Apple’s USB-C to be a bit more affordable or came in some fun colors: this is the solution.
Beats will start selling its USB-C to USB-C, USB-A to USB-C and USB-C to illuminate cables in Bolt Black, Stone, Nitro Navy and Rapid Red arises in sizes of 1.5 mo 20 cm directly from Apple, and probably on Amazon, at this time, and will reach Apple stores on April 17, 2025.
