Apple's Unreleased Beats Headphones Spotted on Antonee Robinson at World Cup [Photo]

U.S. men's national soccer team star Antonee Robinson is the latest athlete to be spotted wearing an unreleased pair of Beats over-ear headphones at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.



A photo shared to his Instagram account shows Robinson wearing a unique two-tone version of the upcoming headset. The model features a white headband and outer housings paired with royal blue ear cushions. This contrasts with earlier sightings, where Spanish winger Lamine Yamal was photographed wearing a solid pink version of the same hardware just before the tournament began.


It remains unclear if the two-tone colorway will be available to the general public, or if Robinson received a custom pair specifically for the event. The contrasting cushions may suggest some level of customization, though Apple has not confirmed any details regarding the product's design, features, or retail positioning.

The headphones first surfaced last month in a regulatory filing bearing the model number A3577. Based on the recent photographs, the design abandons the wide, flat plastic band used on the current Beats Studio Pro. The new structure relies instead on tubular telescoping arms that attach to an extruded segment on the ear cups, visually similar to the mechanism found on Apple's AirPods Max.

Apple's current over-ear offering remains the Beats Studio Pro, which launched in 2023. The company has utilized similar influencer seeding campaigns at major sporting events in the past to build visibility for its audio products ahead of an official launch.
