Apple’s FCC filing database now lists a new Bluetooth over‑ear headset under model number A3577. The entry describes the device simply as “Bluetooth over‑ear headphones,” leaving consumers unsure whether it belongs to Apple’s core lineup or the Beats brand. Neither the filing shows a clear design, nor does it match the AirPods Max 2 model number A3454, which is already listed for the upgraded headset.

Most of the technical data that could explain the headset’s specs remains under a confidentiality request, a practice for Apple’s FCC submissions. A single figure shows the FCC ID label on an unadorned ear cup, offering no hints about sound quality, battery life, or price to the public until further disclosure in the coming weeks.

Industry eyes suggest the headset could be a Beats revision, perhaps a new iteration of the Beats Studio Pro that debuted in July 2023. The original Studio Pro sold well, and a refresh would fit Apple’s strategy of updating flagship audio gear every few years and could push competitors to accelerate their own releases today.

Until the FCC releases more data, speculation will dominate headlines. Consumers can expect that if Apple or Beats confirm the model, pricing will likely mirror the current Studio Pro range, around $350 for the standard version. The next announcement will clarify whether the A3577 marks a new chapter in Apple’s audio lineup for 2026 releases.
