Beats' Unreleased Over‑Ear Headphones Surface on World Cup Players

Close-up photos plus an FCC filing suggest a two‑tone, USB‑C‑equipped over‑ear model signaling a coordinated athlete‑led tease ahead of a formal reveal.

Overview

  • Multiple FIFA World Cup players were photographed wearing the same unannounced Beats over‑ear headset, with clear social posts published on Monday showing distinct two‑tone colorways.
  • An FCC filing for model A3577, filed earlier this year, matches the hardware seen in the photos and provides a regulatory record that the product exists.
  • Close-up images show visible on‑ear buttons, USB‑C charging, a slimmer headband with tubular telescoping arms, thin outer speaker plates, and very thick ear cushions.
  • The variety of finishes — including solid pink and white exteriors with neon or dark ear cups — suggests Beats may offer mixed color options or customizability rather than a single all‑over finish.
  • Industry observers note Beats last released the Studio Pro in 2023 and the Solo 4 in 2024, so this could be a Studio Pro revision or a new higher‑tier model, but Apple/Beats has not confirmed name, specs, price, or launch timing.
