Apple’s newest over-ear headphones—dubbed Beats 360—have been spotted in multiple leaks, confirming a suite of enhancements that aim to put them ahead in the premium headphone market. Listed under model number A3577, these headphones have appeared in Brazil’s ANATEL regulatory filings, matching earlier sightings in the U.S. FCC database.([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/20/new-apple-headphones-leaked/))
What we know so far
Industry listings reveal that Beats 360 will come in at least four base colors—Black, Cloud, Sky, and Pink. Users will also be able to swap out Performance Knit or UltraPlush ear cushions and headbands. Additional style options like Volt and Navy hues are tipped to be available, allowing for more personalization.([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/20/new-apple-headphones-leaked/))
The design draws from earlier Beats models but aligns visually with Apple’s more premium offerings. Telescoping headband arms extend smoothly and lock into place for true-fit comfort, mimicking elements seen in the AirPods Maxes.([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/20/new-apple-headphones-leaked/))
A key highlight is an IPX4 rating—making the Beats 360 the brand’s first over-ears that are sweat- and water-resistant. According to the leaked listings, battery life is optimized for “all-day” use, the form factor is fold-flat for easier portability, and there’s a “high-fidelity acoustic platform” inside.([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/20/new-apple-headphones-leaked/))
On noise cancellation, Beats 360 are claimed to offer up to 1.75 times more reduction compared to the Beats Studio Pro, which launched in 2023.([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/20/new-apple-headphones-leaked/))
One listing stated a U.S. price of $299.99, though that figure hasn’t been officially confirmed.([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/20/new-apple-headphones-leaked/))
Release timing and build-up
Hints of Beats 360 surfaced earlier in 2026 via the FCC database, before they were seen in regulatory filings abroad. Notably, some soccer players at the 2026 FIFA World Cup were observed wearing what appear to be the prototype units.([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/20/new-apple-headphones-leaked/))
Several retailer sites also listed the headphones prematurely, showing models and pricing, although many of those listings have now been pulled.([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/20/new-apple-headphones-leaked/))
No official launch date has been announced. But with regulatory approvals in motion, athlete teasers making an appearance, and early retail leaks underway, all signs point to an announcement in the near term.([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/20/new-apple-headphones-leaked/))
Compared to the current Beats Studio Pro—priced around $349.99—the Beats 360 aim to bring upgraded features and style at a lower entry point.([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/20/new-apple-headphones-leaked/))
