Beats 360 over-ear headphones appear in early retail listings, revealing specs and possible price

Early retail listings for Beats' next over-ear headphones reveal the name Beats 360, key specs like IPX4 water resistance, and a possible $299 price, but no mention of Apple's H2 chip.

The listings match the design seen on players including Lamine Yamal during the 2026 World Cup, with a thin headband, circular ear cups, and a lime green color option. The headphones are described as having interchangeable cup cushions and headband pads, and an IPX4 rating, which Beats says makes them the company's first over-ear headphones designed to withstand sweat and water.

TechRadar notes that the listings make no mention of Apple's H2 chip, which many had hoped would appear in the new model. Instead, the listings claim the Beats 360 offer "1.75x more noise cancellation than Beats Studio Pro," though TechRadar points out that this figure is difficult to quantify. The listings also mention "all-day battery life" with active noise cancellation, but give no specific hour count.

The price shown in the listings is around $299 in the US and £330 in the UK, with no Australian listings yet. TechRadar cautions that early listings often contain placeholder prices. The company has not announced an official release date, but the appearance of these retail pages suggests the headphones could launch sooner than the previously speculated 2027 timeframe.
