Apple's New Beats 360 Headphones Keep Leaking

Apple's upcoming Beats 360 headphones appeared in Brazil's ANATEL regulatory database today, according to a new filing spotted by MacRumors.

The filing merely mentions an unnamed product with a model number of A3577, but we know that it is for the Beats 360. The headphones already appeared in the U.S.'s FCC database with the same model number back in May, before soccer stars like Lamine Yamal and Antonee Robinson were spotted wearing them around the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

MacRumors was first to report on the Beats 360 name this week after the headphones appeared in various retail listings on Amazon and other reseller websites, some of which have since been removed. The listings revealed that the headphones will be available in Black, Cloud, Sky, and Pink, at a minimum. There will also be interchangeable Performance Knit and UltraPlush ear cushions and headbands that come in those same four colors, plus extra options like Volt and Navy, allowing you to create your own personalized look.

Beats 360 have a unique design with some similarities to the AirPods Max, including telescoping headband arms that smoothly extend and stay in place to maintain the desired fit. One of the product listings said the over-ear headphones offer up to 1.75× more noise cancellation than the Beats Studio Pro that came out in 2023.

The listing also said that the Beats 360 are Apple's first-ever sweat-resistant and water-resistant over-ear headphones, with an IPX4 rating.

Other features and specs mentioned in the listing included all-day battery life, a fold-flat design, and a high-fidelity acoustic platform.

Beats 360 will come with a set of interchangeable Performance Knit cushions and a woven ripstop fabric carrying case, but customers will need to supply their own USB-C charging cable and power adapter. One listing said the headphones will be priced at $299.99 in the U.S., but we cannot confirm if that information is accurate.

Beats Studio Pro are regularly priced at $349.99.

It is unclear when Apple plans to officially announce the Beats 360, but with all of these leaks across regulatory databases, athlete teasers, and early retail listings, it seems like the headphones will be released in the near future.

This has got to be the most dragged-out product launch yet... Release it already!!

Edit: It better weigh less than the APM and have at least an H2 chip.....

Will most likely be $250 around holiday season so it seems like a good deal for Apple ecosystem over-the-ears. I also highly doubt it will ship without a usb-c cable.

I agree, this looks like a holiday season release. They're probably waiting for the next quarter to start and to have enough product on hand. They might be a throw-in with the iPhone 18 announcement.
 
I got the Beats Wireless Studio 3s with a student discount back in the day. This year I tried replacing them with the Beats Studio Pros as they were some 40% off. Even at that price, they are a marginal update with slightly better sound and ANC, but the battery life wasn’t much better and the chassis still creaked and made clocking noises when I’d eat with them on, my chief complaint about the 3s. I am constantly having to retighten the screws on the band which helps albeit for a time. The ear pads felt qualitatively worse but ultimately looked more durable. At least Apple offered replacements, all at a hefty $69.99 CAD! Aftermarket quality is a ishtshow. They are also heavy af, one of the heaviest units out of all their competitors.

It looks like they improved the headband and the muffs but still fail to take into account that the band that makes contact with your head needs to be replaceable as do the muffs. They suffer tremendous wear and tear and even if kept in pristine condition, will erode over time from the oils and sweat your head produces.

I’m sure they sound great.
 
I know this is now close to normal, but $299 and you have to bring your own charging cable AND charging brick. All for a brand no one cares about anymore.

There’s not much to be “leaked” at this point. Giving them to celebrities is a marketing move, so as far as Apple is concerned, the product’s existence is public knowledge. I’m just wondering why it hasn’t launched yet. Either something delayed the launch at the last minute, or they didn’t want to pass up the opportunity to have the headphones on display at the World Cup, even though they already knew it would take a while longer before they were ready to go.
 
Water and sweat resistance is good. Think it should be released next month. Not going to buy one as I am very happy with my AirPods.
