A new entry in the FCC database indicates that Apple is preparing to introduce a Bluetooth headphone model identified as A3577. The filing describes the device simply as “Bluetooth over-ear headphones” and notes the inclusion of features such as an integral battery, microphone, and antenna.
This document, labeled “prepared for Apple Inc.,” reveals limited details due to a confidentiality request. It remains unclear whether the product will bear the Apple brand or belong to the Beats line, as both utilize similar model number conventions starting with “A.”
The recent launch of the AirPods Max 2 may suggest that this new model is a part of the Beats lineup, which includes the Beats Studio Pro launched in July 2023 and the Beats Solo 4 introduced in April 2024. The potential release of these headphones has generated speculation among consumers and industry watchers alike.
