After leaked images circulated online for several weeks, Beats’ newest headphones have finally arrived. Meet the new $350 Beats 360 headphones, the company’s first over-ear headphones with active noise cancellation and IPX4 sweat and water resistance, all in one.
Beats made these cans customizable, letting you swap the headband and earcups for different colors and materials. At launch, over 250 combinations will be available to mix and match. The company will sell a Performance Knit woven version, a more durable option than the AirPods Max, and an UltraPlush cushion that provides a leather-like feel. Playback controls are on the back of each cup, with the right housing the volume rocker and play/pause button, and the left housing the power and listening mode buttons.
Inside, you get dual neodymium ring magnet drivers for high-quality audio, a total of nine mics for ANC, and Apple’s H2 chip for transparency mode, hands-free Siri, adaptive EQ, spatial audio, and Dolby Atmos support. Beats also quotes the 360s as offering up to 32 hours of battery life on a single charge, even with ANC activated. The new cans also offer Fast Fuel fast charging, which provides one hour of playback with a five-minute charge.
Think of them as a gym-focused version of Apple’s AirPods Max. The Beats 360 headphones are set to go on sale on September 24th and will arrive in Black, Cloud, Pink, and Sky, with matching Performance Knit earcup and headband cushions. Beats also sells its 360 Cushion Kits for an intro price of $10 and $50 after, which add Navy and Volt Performance Knit colors and Black and Cloud for the UltraPlush.
