Apple May Launch Beats 360 Headphones in September 2026, Firmware 4A203 Released

Apple released firmware update 4A203 for the Beats 360 on September 8. Over the past few months, the Beats 360 has appeared in multiple regulatory databases and retail listings. Players such as Lamine Yamal and Anthony Robinson have been photographed wearing the headphones at events related to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Product listings on several e-commerce and resale websites confirmed the Beats 360 name, though some of those pages were later removed.

The product listings indicate that the Beats 360 will be available in at least four colorways: black, Cloud, Sky, and pink. The ear cushions and headband offer replaceable Performance Knit and UltraPlush materials, with additional color options such as Volt and Navy, allowing users to customize the appearance. The headphones feature a telescoping headband arm structure to adjust the fit. The listings state that the noise cancellation capability is up to 1.75 times that of the Beats Studio Pro, which was released in 2023.

The listings also show that the Beats 360 will be Apple's first over-ear headphones with sweat and water resistance, rated at IPX4. Other specifications include all-day battery life, a foldable design, and a high-fidelity acoustic platform. Code information indicates that the headphones support hands-free Siri, allowing users to activate the assistant by saying "Hey Siri" or "Siri."

In terms of accessories, the Beats 360 comes with a set of replaceable Performance Knit ear cushions and a woven ripstop fabric carrying case, but users will need to provide their own USB-C charging cable and power adapter. The product listings state a U. S. price of $299.99, though this price has not been confirmed. The official regular price of the Beats Studio Pro is $349.99. Apple has not yet announced an exact release date for the Beats 360.
