Apple has quietly refreshed the Powerbeats2 wireless earphones that it became the custodian of once the acquisition of Beats was completed.
Apple wants you to return your Beats Pill XL speaker back to them and they are giving you $325 to do that. The Cupertino giant has just initiated a complete recall of the product after the company learnt that the speaker in question poses a fire hazard and can be a risk to its owners. Check out the details below on what’s causing this and how the returns will be handled.

Apple has just refreshed its Beats Solo2 Wireless headphone lineup, which now includes a new choice of colors: Gold, Silver, and Space Gray to match iPhone colors.
Last year, Apple acquired Beats Electronics for the sum of $3 billion, and since, the Cupertino company has overseen a handful of new hardware releases. Yet while the headphones and speakers have become an iconic part of popular culture, the future of the Beats Music streaming service has remained the subject of much speculation, particularly given the small matter of iTunes Radio. But now, some new information has come to light detailing Apple's plans in this regard, and it would appear that a concerted assault on Spotify et al is nigh.
Beats Electronics has risen to great prominence in a short space of time, combining fashion, popular culture and music into one very recognizable product line-up. Given that Apple has always had an eye for style, the Cupertino's acquisition of the Dr. Dre-founded company earlier this year wasn't particularly surprising, and since then, Dre and co-founder Jimmy Iovine have been working with Apple to move the brand into its next chapter. The Solo2 wireless headphones are next on the agenda, and whilst they're not yet available to order, one YouTuber has gotten hold of a pair early, and considerately, has shared a few photos and impressions as the world gets its first proper glimpse at this new bit of kit.
Apple's acquisition of Beats may be about to finally spawn the first set of headphones that are dual-branded by the two firms, with new FCC paperwork popping up that appears to show a new wireless version of the popular Beats by Dre Solo2 headphones.
Given the rise in streaming music services like Spotify, the traditional digital sales model is dying a slow death, and there's no question that Apple's iTunes has not only been a linchpin of the digital music world during the past decade, but still remains the most popular online retailer of songs and albums. The Cupertino's iTunes Radio streamer hasn't really hit the heights in its short lifespan, and recognizing that it may lose ground on the rest of the field if it doesn't adapt to the current market, it's looking probable that the newly-acquired Beats Music service may be integrated into iTunes.
It is official; Bose headphones and speakers have been finally removed from the Apple Online Store and the products will not be returning. If you've been following the tech news lately, then this move is hardly surprising, as it was revealed just last week that Apple will be removing all Bose products from its inventory.
All Apple Stores will be removing retail and demo versions of all Bose products from the shelves as well as the demo versions coupled with iOS and Mac hardware, according to a report. Seems like the patent infringement suit filed by Bose against Beats has finally strained the longstanding retail partnership between Apple and Bose. If you weren't already aware, Apple had recently acquired Beats Electronics for $3 billion back in May, and this tussle between Bose and Beats has finally resulted in one of them ending this retail partnership. It is not clear whether it was Apple or Bose.
