Beats expands headphone lineup with upcoming Beats 360

Beats is expanding its headphone lineup with the anticipated Beats 360, a mid-tier over-ear model expected to launch in September 2026 with a price point of $299. Positioned below the flagship Studio Pro, the Beats 360 is expected to feature improved Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), personalized spatial audio, and beamforming microphones with AI noise reduction. The design is intended to emphasize portability and durability, incorporating a fold-flat structure, replaceable ear cushions, and IPX4 water resistance.

The existing Beats Studio Pro remains a prominent option in the market, offering features such as 40-hour battery life, USB-C lossless audio support, and custom 40mm speaker drivers. Designed to be a lighter and more robust alternative to the AirPods Max, the Studio Pro utilizes UltraPlush cushions and metal sliders for adjustability. It is noted for its versatility across both Apple and Android ecosystems.
