Status Audio expanded its options for the flagship Pro X earbuds at CES and also gave us a small glimpse of the future in a panel held at their suite.
The big headline is the new Moonbeam White colorway, a silky finish that makes the Pro X feel even more premium than it already does. In person, the color fits the product’s whole vibe: refined, minimalist, and more “lifestyle” than loud. It also helps highlight one of the underrated parts of the Pro X design, the metal-plated chassis that’s smaller and easier to wear than earlier Status models. It’s the kind of change you appreciate fast because comfort is the difference between earbuds you like and earbuds you actually keep in your ears.
What makes Pro X stand out is that Status is still leaning into real audio hardware choices instead of just chasing features. You’re getting their hybrid triple-driver setup, a 12mm dynamic driver paired with two Knowles balanced armature drivers, which is a rare approach in true wireless and way closer to how serious in-ear monitors are built. The promise is better separation, more detail, and a sound that doesn’t collapse when tracks get busy. It’s the “we care about tuning” move, and it shows.
Status also put a ton of attention into the part most people complain about first: call quality. Voiceloom AI Speech Enhancement is the centerpiece here, built to isolate your voice from background noise in real time so you don’t sound like you’re calling from inside a hurricane whenever you step outside. Between the beamforming mic setup and the AI noise handling, this is aiming to solve that real-world problem where ANC helps your ears, but does not always help the person on the other end of the call.
At CES, Status didn’t just show the new color, they used it as a reason to go deeper. The panel they hosted was a cool change of pace because it let attendees get into the “why” behind the Pro X, not just the marketing bullet points. Knowles was among the presenters, and hearing them break down the driver approach and engineering decisions made the product feel even more intentional. There was also a bit of a forward-looking tone, like Status is clearly thinking about how to reach more people without watering down what makes them different.
Beyond the headline upgrades, Pro X is stacked: improved hybrid ANC, a user-adjustable transparency mode, an optical wearing sensor, IP55 water and dust resistance, LDAC and LC3 support, High Res Wireless certification, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, and a revamped companion app experience. It’s also positioned as more “future-proof” with Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast support as those features become more common. And now with Moonbeam White in the mix, it feels like Status is rounding out the product into something that can sit in the premium conversation without needing an asterisk.
If you’ve been waiting for Status to push harder into the high-end lane, this is that moment. Moonbeam White is available now, and based on how they’re talking about what’s next, it feels like there’s more coming from Status soon.
