Apple may launch new headphones in July this year, report suggests

Sharing details shared by Myke Hurley on the Apple-related podcast “Connected” last week, the report says that the new wireless headphones may be offered in four colour options – Black, Navy, Sandstone, and Deep Brown. The information, it says, was obtained from an anonymous source who previously shared accurate details about the Beats Studio Buds+ earbuds.

As per previously leaked images, Apple Beats Studio Pro headphones may feature similar design as the Beats Studio 3.

Features expected on the upcoming wireless headphones include optimized sound profiles, a new carrying case, support for Android features such as Fast Pair and Find My Device, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Apple Beats Studio Pro headphones are also tipped to come with improved active noise cancellation and longer battery life.

Evidence of Studio Pro previously emerged in macOS 13.4 code and in an FCC filing. The device update is long-overdue as the Studio 3 was launched in 2017.

As far as the pricing is concerned, Apple Beats Studio Pro wireless headphones is rumoured to come with a price tag of €399 in Europe (approx. ₹35,000).

Meanwhile, Apple is also said to launch second-generation Apple Watch Ultra at its fall event later this year. In the latest edition of PowerOn newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says that ‘the company is focused on several key updates for the second half of this year and the first half of 2024.”

He says that Apple may bring an updated version of the Ultra that are currently codenamed N207, N208 and N210. In addition, the company may bring two Apple Watch Series 9 models along with the iPhone 15 lineup this fall. Gurman further states that “there are also a few products in early development, including a third-generation version of the AirPods and new home equipment such as smart displays, as well as an Apple TV set-top box with improved specifications.”
