If you’re hankering for an updated version of the Beats Studio headphones, a series of recent FCC filings may show that the next generation is en route.
While Apple has yet to acknowledge the Beats Studio Pro headphones, they were spotted in the macOS Ventura 13.4 update back in May.
The headphones feature an A2924 model number and an ID of BeatsStudioPro1,1. The Beats Studio Pro will be a new version of the Beats Studio3 over-ear headphones, which are several years old at this point.
Developer references suggested that the Beats Studio Pro headphones will be released in collaboration with Samuel Ross of A-Cold-Wall, who just joined Beats as a “principal design consultant.” The design looks to be largely identical to the Beats Studio3 headphones, but Apple will likely add internal improvements to justify the “Pro” moniker.
The headphones are thought to feature an updated Apple-designed chip as well as features like improved Active Noise Cancellation and a Transparency Mode. Apple also plans to add “Hey Siri” support, a feature that is not available in the current Studio3 headphones.
It’s rumored that the Beats Studio Pro headphones could be released later this summer, as FCC information usually comes out a few weeks to a month ahead of launch.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
