I've been reviewing hardware and software, devising testing methodology and handed out buying advice for what seems like forever; I'm currently absorbed by computers and gaming hardware, but previously spent many years concentrating on cameras. I've also volunteered with a cat rescue for over 15 years doing adoptions, designing marketing materials, managing volunteers and, of course, photographing cats.

Note that CNET may get a share of revenue from the sale of products via the link above.

At first, you'll only be able to get them in black. The ivory, moss and navy models won't be available until summer, according to the fine print on Beats' site.

The Powerbeats Pro share some DNA with Apple's AirPods -- Apple owns Beats -- including the H1 chip for Bluetooth 5 connectivity and Siri . But unlike the AirPods, wireless charging isn't in their genes.

Look for our full review in the next few days, but check out the video below for early impressions.
