Apple is currently rumored to be releasing its new Beats Studio Pro wireless over-ear headphones on Wednesday, July 19, according to details shared by Myke Hurley on the Apple-related podcast “Connected” last week.
Per Reddit, Hurley said he obtained the details from an anonymous source who previously shared accurate details about the Beats Studio Buds+ earbuds.
The source also claimed that the Studio Pro headphones will be available in four colors, including Black, Navy, Sandstone, and Deep Brown, and will feature a very similar design to the Beats Studio3. The headphones are said to feature a USB-C port for charging instead of micro-USB, upgraded microphones, optimized sound profiles, a new carrying case, and support for Android features such as Fast Pair and Find My Device. The headphones will retain a 3.5mm headphone jack, the source added.
Similar to the Studio Buds+, it’s thought that the Studio Pro headphones will boast improved active noise cancellation and longer battery life.
An early reseller listing has the Studio Pro headphones as available for €399 in Europe, which would be the same price as the Studio3. This suggests the headphones will likely cost around $349.95 in the U.S. at launch. The Studio3 are equipped with Apple’s W1 chip, but it’s unclear which chip the Studio Pro will use.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
