New Apple or Beats Over-Ear Headphones Appear in FCC Database

[MacRumors]

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has just published documents related to an apparently unreleased Apple product with model number A3577, with the product described as "Bluetooth over-ear headphones."

These headphones do not appear to be the AirPods Max 2, which carry a model number of A3454, and there is little other information to go on, so it is unclear what these headphones are.

Most of the documents that would reveal details on this A3577 product are being temporarily withheld from publication under a confidentiality request, which is standard for Apple's product filings with the FCC. One figure showing the location of the FCC ID labeling on the product appears to show a generic-looking headphone ear cup, with no identifying design details.

It is possible these are an upcoming Beats product, such as an updated version of the brand's over-ear Beats Studio Pro headphones, but this is purely speculation. The Beats Studio Pro were released nearly three years ago in July 2023, so they could be due for a revision.

We'll share additional information as we learn more.

It's about time for a new release of the Apple iBeats.

Are Beats products typically registered with the FCC as Apple devices?

Apple to Release These 15 New Products Later This Year

April and May have been relatively slow months for Apple this year, but there is a lot to look forward to heading into WWDC 2026 and beyond. Apple is expected to release at least 15 more products later this year, with some of them held up until the more personalized version of Siri launches...

Smart headphones for those bozos living in [ Redacted ].

It might launch sometime this year. I don't like over the head earphones. Waiting to hear its price.

Antenna? I have never thought headphones are having an antenna.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

This entire site now is just newsroom links, gurman scoops, and grift

Air Pods Spinners. The outer ring spins so you can navigate your apple watch or music and do different actions.

I hope it's an update to the Studio Pro's. Say what you want about the brand, but I've yet to find a pair of over ear headphones that can compete with them in the gym. It's not even close. They are spectacular and can take a beating like it's nothing.

 

[RodThePlod]

Could these be the AirPods with built-in cameras that have been talked about so often? (I've always thought the in-ear Air Pods were too small to have built-in cameras...)

Obviously going to be new Beats headphones, unfortunately. I know Apple have gone downhill and anything is possible these days, but even for them, releasing new over ear AirPods headphones so soon after AirPods Max 2 would be a new level for them.

Gotta grab that money, probably aimed at some small population cohort that has still refused to buy Apple headphones.

New and improved headband for the Vision Pro! Now with ear protection!

 

[NicosAccount]

beats are garb, never buying that low quality stuff again, the studio pros make a loud wooshing sound on noise cancelling. Good thing i got them on sale for half off but even then they werent worth it. Got the sony xm6 now and they are much better. Sound is better too

 

[samuraiQ]

I wish they'd bring back the feature that automatically turns the device on when folded, like in the old Solo Pro. 😀

 

[SactoGuy18]

My guess: an upgraded Beats Studio Pro using the electronics from the AirPods Pro 3. That means H2 Bluetooth chip and U1 UWB chip, plus audio inputs over 3.5 mm to USB Type C.
