Beats 360 headphones product leaks and filings

Overview

Information regarding unannounced Beats 360 over-ear headphones emerged through leaked retail listings on UK sites, including Amazon. These leaks suggested a design featuring mesh fabric, modular components like replaceable ear cushions and headband padding, and IPX4 water and sweat resistance. Technical reports indicated the device could offer active noise cancellation up to 1.75 times more effective than the Beats Studio Pro, with a projected price of approximately $299. Subsequent regulatory filings in the United Arab Emirates for model number A3577 have further indicated an upcoming launch. This registration follows similar appearances of the model number in regulatory databases in Brazil and the United States, where the Federal Communications Commission previously listed the device as Bluetooth over-ear headphones. Recent reports suggest the Beats 360 is a mid-tier model expected to launch in September 2026. Positioned below the flagship Studio Pro, the new device is anticipated to feature personalized spatial audio and beamforming microphones with AI noise reduction. The design is expected to emphasize portability and durability through a fold-flat structure and a knitted material finish on the headband and earcups, similar to the AirPods Max. As the anticipated September 2026 launch approaches, the release of firmware version 4A203 has further signaled the device's imminent arrival. The headphones are expected to be available in at least four colors: Black, Cloud, Sky, and Pink. They will feature telescoping headband arms and customizable ear cushions or headbands in Performance Knit or UltraPlush materials. Notably, the Beats 360 is expected to be Apple’s first over-ear headphone to include an IPX4 sweat and water resistance rating. As of September 2026, reports indicate Apple is actively preparing for the Beats 360 release. The device is expected to support Siri voice activation and maintain its rumored design features, including a telescoping headband and interchangeable ear cushions.
