Apple is bringing audio sharing to Beats Studio Pro via firmware update

Update: Apple has confirmed with TechCrunch that the feature is now live.

Beats Studio Pro are getting one of AirPods’ best features. A firmware update, noted by 9to5Mac, is delivering multi-user audio sharing, allowing music to be streamed to multiple headphones at once. Apple regularly releases features to its AirPods line before they make their way to the Beats brand.

The feature arrived on a number of Beats products in late 2019, including BeatsX, Powerbeats Pro, Powerbeats 3, Solo 3 and Studio 3. It has been enabled by Apple’s proprietary H chip line. The Studio Pro, however, are powered by their own chip, which could be the reason they launched without sharing.
