New Apple or Beats Over-Ear Headphones Appear in FCC Database

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has just published documents related to an apparently unreleased Apple product with model number A3577, with the product described as "Bluetooth over-ear headphones."

These headphones do not appear to be the AirPods Max 2, which carry a model number of A3454, and there is little other information to go on, so it is unclear what these headphones are.

Most of the documents that would reveal details on this A3577 product are being temporarily withheld from publication under a confidentiality request, which is standard for Apple's product filings with the FCC. One figure showing the location of the FCC ID labeling on the product appears to show a generic-looking headphone ear cup, with no identifying design details.

It is possible these are an upcoming Beats product, such as an updated version of the brand's over-ear Beats Studio Pro headphones, but this is purely speculation. The Beats Studio Pro were released nearly three years ago in July 2023, so they could be due for a revision.

We'll share additional information as we learn more.

I hope it's an update to the Studio Pro's. Say what you want about the brand, but I've yet to find a pair of over ear headphones that can compete with them in the gym. It's not even close. They are spectacular and can take a beating like it's nothing.

Antenna? I have never thought headphones are having an antenna.
Clearly you understand what Bluetooth is!

My guess: an upgraded Beats Studio Pro using the electronics from the AirPods Pro 3. That means H2 Bluetooth chip and U1 UWB chip, plus audio inputs over 3.5 mm to USB Type C.
