ABeats Powerbeats Pro

Feature	Needs
Original Apple one-tap setup and account pairing	Original release requires iCloud and macOS 10.14.4, iOS 12.2 or watchOS 5.2 or later. Account pairing is distinct from automatic audio routing and simultaneous Bluetooth multipoint.
Siri	Compatible Apple device, internet connection and supported language/region. Hey Siri voice activation or hold the multifunction button.
Audio Sharing	Apple December 2020 release explicitly supports two Powerbeats Pro pairs receiving one Apple TV 4K stream through Control Center. This is a later host software feature.
Dolby Atmos music	Apple Music on a compatible updated iPhone, supported Atmos tracks and Dolby Atmos enabled. Static music rendering is not proof of dynamic head tracking.
Automatic switching between Apple devices	Later 2020 host software. Same iCloud account and compatible Apple devices using iOS 14, iPadOS 14, macOS Big Sur or corresponding latest host software. Automatic source switching is distinct from simultaneous Bluetooth multipoint.
Beats Android app and firmware updates	Current Beats app supports the original Powerbeats Pro. Bluetooth permission is required for pairing and firmware updates. Location permission is optional and enables finding at the last connection or disconnection location.
Last location in the Beats Android app	Location access must be enabled to record the last connection or disconnection location. This is phone/app location history, not a crowdsourced finding network or UWB precision finding.
Headphone Accommodations	Compatible iPhone or iPad using iOS or iPadOS 14 or later. Host accessibility settings amplify soft sounds and tune audio for calls or media. This is not a clinical hearing-aid claim or an onboard hearing test.

This proves update capability, not a future support-duration promise.

Dimensions and weight

4 of 4 differ

Weight per budiMass of one earbud. Tip size and approximate values belong in the source note. Do not store pair or case-inclusive mass.

11g(0.4 oz)4Maker spec sheet (PDF)media.distrelec.com/Web/Downloads/_t/ds/Apple_PowerbeatsPro_eng_tds.pdfRead 5 October 2026Page 5 explicitly gives 11 g per bud. SoundGuys metadata 21 g is the pair and is not stored as single-bud mass.

Not available

Bud dimensionsiDimensions of one earbud on the explicitly identified width, height and depth axes. An unlabeled tuple cannot establish those axes.

Not available

Case weightiCharging case mass excluding earbuds. Case-inclusive product mass does not qualify unless the source explicitly gives the empty-case figure.

80g(2.8 oz)4Maker spec sheet (PDF)media.distrelec.com/Web/Downloads/_t/ds/Apple_PowerbeatsPro_eng_tds.pdfRead 5 October 2026Page 5 explicitly gives maker-published 80 g for the case, excluding earbuds. Exact original A2047/A2048/A2078 purchased-unit teardown independently measures the empty case as 108.9 g, pair 21.3 g and combined 130 g. The reason for this conflict is unresolved. Maker claimed mass is retained by source priority, without inventing a hardware or packaging distinction.
