Beats 360 Leak Reveals IPX4 Rating, Better ANC, and Expected $299 Starting Price

Retail listings for Apple's next Beats over-ear headphones have surfaced on UK retail websites, including Amazon UK, revealing the Beats 360 with an expected $299 starting price, IPX4 water resistance, and interchangeable ear cushions.



Multiple Reddit users spotted the listings before they were removed, according to the Beats subreddit. Shared images show a rounder design than the current Beats Studio Pro, with mesh fabric ear cups and a cushioned headband that call to mind Apple's AirPods Max.



The listings describe the Beats 360 as the first sweat- and water-resistant over-ear headphones Beats has offered, carrying an IPX4 rating. Active Noise Cancellation delivers up to 1.75x more noise cancellation than the Beats Studio Pro after adapting to the user's environment and fit. The headphones also feature a Transparency mode, Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking, and one-touch pairing for both iOS and Android.


Users can swap both the ear cups and headband for different colors or replacement cushions. The headphones ship with Performance Knit cushions, while an UltraPlush option is also listed. Listings show color options for Black, Cloud, Pink, Navy, Sky, and Volt, though Navy and Volt have only appeared as cushion listings.

The listings also mention all-day battery life with ANC enabled, an AI-trained calling algorithm paired with beamforming microphones, a fold-flat design with a woven ripstop fabric carrying case, and controls positioned on the back of each ear cup. Cushion kits, a USB-C charging cable, and a power adapter are sold separately.

No launch date has been announced, though the appearance of retail listings suggests the launch may not be far off. The headphones also appear to match the B518 identifier discovered in macOS Tahoe 26.7. Earlier this year, an FCC filing revealed an unannounced over-ear headset, and athletes including Lamine Yamal, Lee Kang-in, and Antonee Robinson were later spotted wearing unreleased Beats headphones.
