Obtainable in 4 completely different colours — Bolt Black, Surge Stone, Nitro Navy, and Fast Purple — these cables are one other new addition to the Beats lineup, which now consists of up to date headphones, earbuds, audio system, and iPhone 16 circumstances.
Whereas it may appear uncommon at first that Beats is coming into new accent classes, it’s additionally very fascinating to see the daring designs and vibrant colours the model brings to the desk. Whereas the first iteration of iPhone 16 cases was a bit off-track design-wise, the newer ones are much better.
