Beats 360 headphones are now official at $349.99, giving Apple’s audio brand a new over-ear line alongside a cheaper Beats Studio Pro. The new model adds interchangeable ear and headband cushions, stronger active noise cancellation and IPX4 sweat and water resistance.
Beats 360 headphones bring modular cushions and stronger ANC
Beats says the headphones deliver up to 1.75 times the active noise cancellation of the Studio Pro, with eight microphones analysing sound inside and outside the earcups. They also raise output by 12dB, support Transparency mode, Adaptive EQ and Personalised Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking.
The official Beats design uses separate wireless earcups, each with its own battery, antenna and processing hardware. Battery life is rated at up to 32 hours with ANC enabled, while a five-minute Fast Fuel charge adds an hour of playback. The headphones work with Apple and Android devices, including one-touch pairing on Apple hardware and Google Fast Pair on Android.
The headphones come in Black, Cloud, Pink and Sky. Each includes colour-matched Performance Knit cushions, with extra Performance Knit and UltraPlush kits available separately. Mashable reports that the cushion kits cost $49.99, with a temporary $9.99 launch offer.
Price, availability and the Studio Pro split
Beats 360 headphones are available to pre-order now, with wider availability from September 24, according to Mashable’s launch report. The starting price converts to about AED 1,286 before UAE taxes, retailer pricing or local delivery costs; Apple and Beats have not published a UAE price in the sources checked for this draft.
The official Beats product page lists the model at $349.99. That is not a replacement for the Studio Pro: the older headphones remain in the line at a reduced $299.99. MacRumors reports that the cut brings the Studio Pro down from its previous $349.99 price.
For broader buying context, see tbreak’s best headphones in the UAE guide and our coverage of Sony’s cheaper WH-1000XM4C headphones. The new Beats model is the more customisable option; the Studio Pro is now the less expensive route into the same brand’s over-ear range.
Are Beats 360 headphones worth choosing over the Studio Pro?
Choose Beats 360 if interchangeable cushions, IPX4 resistance and the stronger claimed ANC matter to you. The Studio Pro is the cheaper option at $299.99 and remains a separate model.
Can the Beats 360 cushions be replaced?
Yes. The ear and headband cushions are interchangeable, and separate Performance Knit and UltraPlush kits are available. The launch offer makes some kits cheaper for a limited time.
Are Beats 360 headphones available in the UAE?
A UAE price or local availability was not confirmed in the sources checked for this draft. The US starting price converts to about AED 1,286 before local costs.
