Apple launches its 2016 Back To School deal for students with Beats Solo2 Wireless headphones and Powerbeats2 Wireless earbuds thrown into the mix. Here are the details.
Apple's acquisition of Beats means that plenty of people are more interested in picking up the company's headphones than ever before, but as with some things Apple, none of the Beats headphones are cheap. Take the new Beats Solo2 Active Collection range of wireless headphones for example. Normally retailing for around $300, the Active Collection of Beats Solo2 Wireless was introduced only in September of last year.
You can now get your hands on a pair of Powerbeats2 Wireless Active Collection earphones, starting at $129.99, down from their original price of $199.95. We're not sure how long this deal will last, so better hop to it!
Here's how you can add Bluetooth wireless capability to almost any wired headphones or earbuds using BTunes adapter

Apple has updated its Beats Solo2 Wireless and urBeats In-Ear headphones with a Rose Gold color option. The updated lineup means that the headphones technology will now be offered in a color variant that matches Apple's other products, such as the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and Apple Watch.
Apple has officially released a new mobile app that not only assists consumers with managing its Beats Pill+ speakers, but also gives the company its second presence on the Google Play Store. As part of Apple's $3 billion acquisition of Beats Music & Beats Electronics, the company also acquired all of the products associated with that company. The Beats Pill+ speaker however was the first speaker product released after the acquisition and is designed by Apple. The latest app from the company assists users in getting the most out of the new hardware.
Apple has surprised us all today by announcing a new and improved Beats Pill bluetooth speaker, and is calling it the Pill+. The new speaker isn't a radical retake of the original Pill with Apple focusing on making some serious under-the-hood improvements to produce what could arguably be the best sounding Pill ever. Pill+ is set to replace the original Pill speaker which was launched back in 2012. It is larger than previous Pill, but smaller than now discontinued Pill XL.
Apple had today outlined its plans for its 2015 Back to School promotion, with students, parents of students or people working at suitable educational establishments now able to take advantage of the promotion in Apple's retail outlets. Apple's online retail presence will not join the promotion until August 6th.
Apple has quietly refreshed the Powerbeats2 wireless earphones that it became the custodian of once the acquisition of Beats was completed.
