Summary

  • Amazon UK briefly posted a full product page for Beats 360, revealing the new over-ear model’s name, sports focus and modular design before the listing was removed.
  • IPX4 water resistance, swappable ear pads and headbands, flat-folding earcups and one-touch pairing for both Apple and Android devices point to a more workout-friendly alternative to AirPods Max.
  • Beats claims active noise cancellation is 1.75 times stronger than Studio Pro, while battery life is listed at up to 24 hours with ANC enabled.
  • At least 4 colors appeared on the leaked page, and separate accessories in additional shades suggest Beats is pushing customization as a key selling point.
  • No price leaked, but the Amazon posting indicates Beats is nearing an official launch in the coming weeks.
