Overview
- Beats announced the Beats 360 on Tuesday, Sept. 22, opened preorders the same day, and began in‑store and delivery availability on Sept. 24 in more than 100 countries.
- The headphones ship with removable Performance Knit cushions and a snap‑on headband cushion so users can swap materials and colors for hygiene, sport use, or style.
- Beats says the 360 uses a new acoustic platform, a custom Beats chip, Personalized Spatial Audio with head tracking, up to 1.75× more ANC than Studio Pro, and a 32‑hour battery with a five‑minute Fast Fuel charge for one hour of playback.
- Reviewers praise comfort, the stronger ANC, customization and battery life but repeatedly note a major limitation: no wired audio support via a headphone jack or USB‑C.
- Cushion kits are normally $49.99 but available for a limited time in select markets for $9.99; Beats also cut the Studio Pro price to keep both models in the lineup with different price and feature positions.
