A hot minute after leaks about camera-equipped AirPods Pro surfaced, pictures of Apple’s next Beats headphones have now appeared online.
Shoppers in the UK and US can already see how much they’ll cost and which colors will be available, thanks to a leak across several retailers this week (via Macworld). The most interesting detail for me isn’t the headphones themselves, but their design and the Apple product they could complement so effortlessly.
So what exactly leaked this time?
The headphones, referred to as the Beats 360, showed up on Amazon U.K. first, then appeared at Apcom Slovakia and Misco, both of which have since pulled their listings. A Reddit user going by HappyMcPe posted more than half a dozen photos after spotting the listing, along with the potential model numbers.
The purported Beats 360 is quite different from the current Studio Pro and Solo 4 lineup. It might feature a detachable padded section on the underside of the headband, along with noticeably more open mesh across the earcups.
And if you’re thinking you’ve already seen them, you’re not alone. The same design already turned up once before this summer, worn by football star Lamine Yamal in a set of Instagram photos that match the newly leaked headphones almost exactly.
What do we know about pricing and specs?
Six colors have shown up so far: Sky, Black, Navy, Cloud, Pink, and Volt, well beyond the four shades on Studio Pro or the three on Solo 4. If you look closely at some of these colors, they’ll remind you of the bright and vibrant shades of the MacBook Neo, especially the pink, neon, and navy shades.
Regarding pricing, the headphones have been listed at £331.99 in the UK and $299 in a separate US storefront.
Spec-wise, the leaked product pages point to noise cancellation rated up to 1.75 times stronger than Studio Pro, personalized spatial audio with head tracking, an AI-trained beam-forming mic system for calls, all-day battery life with ANC running, and IPX4 water and sweat resistance. The listings don’t mention an Apple chip yet, but that could change as more details emerge.
