Recent documents from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reveal an unreleased Apple product, model number A3577, described as ‘Bluetooth over-ear headphones.’ This model number does not correspond to the recently released AirPods Max 2 (model A3454), suggesting a different device is in development.
Details about the A3577 are scarce, as Apple has requested temporary confidentiality on most documents, a standard practice for the company. The available information includes a diagram indicating the placement of the FCC ID label on an ear cup, but it lacks distinctive design features.
Speculation arises that this could be a new Beats product, possibly an updated version of the Beats Studio Pro, which debuted in July 2023. Given the typical product lifecycle, a refresh around this time would be plausible.
As reported by MacRumors, ‘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.’
While the exact nature of the A3577 remains uncertain, the timing aligns with potential updates to Apple’s audio lineup. Consumers should stay tuned for official announcements to confirm whether this is a new Beats model or another addition to Apple’s headphone offerings.
