Apple FCC Listing Shows Unreleased Over‑Ear Headphones

The redacted filing points to a probable Beats over‑ear refresh and signals that regulatory testing for the device has been completed.

Overview

An FCC entry lists model A3577 as “Bluetooth over‑ear headphones” with a built‑in battery, microphone and antenna and records testing on May 5.
Apple filed a confidentiality request that keeps most technical documents hidden, leaving only a simple schematic and basic hardware descriptors visible.
Multiple tech outlets and analysts view A3577 as most likely a Beats Studio Pro refresh rather than a new AirPods Max, partly because the AirPods Max 2 already uses model A3454.
One outlet reported a different FCC model number, A3468, but that claim conflicts with the A3577 listing and remains disputed in coverage.
Because confidentiality holds commonly last months, fuller technical details should appear only after more FCC disclosures or leaks or a formal Apple or Beats announcement ahead of a likely retail launch window.
