Details on a new Beats over-ear headphone from Apple have started popping up online before any official announcement.
According to MacRumors, the Beats 360 has shown up on a few e-commerce sites, including Amazon UK. It’s thought to be the same product previously spotted under the B518 codename in the macOS Tahoe 26.7 update.
Unlike the current Beats Studio Pro, the 360 has a more rounded look. The earcups and headband use mesh fabric similar to what’s on the AirPods Max. Both the earcup pads and headband pads are replaceable. You get Performance Knit pads out of the box, with UltraPlush pads available as an upgrade.
Colour options so far include pink, black, sky blue, and cloud white. Extra pad colours like green and navy blue will also be available, so you can mix and match if you want.
On the feature front, the Beats 360 offers adaptive active noise cancellation that adjusts to your surroundings and how you’re wearing them. Official wording claims the ANC can be up to 1.75 times stronger than the Studio Pro. Inside is a custom high-fidelity acoustic platform that focuses on low distortion, solid bass, and clear full-range sound. It also supports personalised spatial audio with dynamic head tracking. The earcups use acoustically optimised memory foam to help with fit and seal.
There’s AI-trained call noise cancellation paired with a beamforming mic setup. Interestingly, this is Beats’ first sweat- and water-resistant over-ear model, with an IPX4 rating. It works with both Android and Apple devices and supports one-touch pairing.
Controls on the back of the earcups include a volume rocker, multi-function button, power button, and listening mode button. The headphones fold for storage and are rated for all-day battery life. A ripstop fabric protective case comes in the box, while extra pads, a USB-C cable, and a power adapter are sold separately.
