Overview
- Beats announced the Beats 360 on Tuesday with preorders open immediately at $349.99 and shipping plus in‑store availability beginning Sept. 24.
- The headphones ship with removable Performance Knit cushions and a snap‑on headband cushion and support extra Performance Knit and UltraPlush Cushion Kits at an intro price of $9.99 through Oct. 31, rising to $49.99 thereafter.
- Beats engineered the 360 for active use by adding an IPX4 sweat and water resistance rating, lighter weight construction and breathable knit cushions that the headphones detect to auto‑adjust acoustic tuning.
- A new acoustic architecture and custom Beats silicon power Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking, Dolby Atmos, up to 1.75× more ANC than Studio Pro, nine mics for calls, and roughly 32 hours of battery life with ANC enabled.
- Reviewers and coverage praise comfort, customization and ANC gains but flag the lack of wired audio (no 3.5mm jack or USB‑C wired mode) as a notable tradeoff, and Beats will keep the Studio Pro in the lineup at a reduced price.
