Beats 360 Headphones: Swappable Cushions, IPX4, $349.99

Beats wants over-ears that survive the gym bag and still feel like a lifestyle product. On September 22, 2026, the Apple-owned brand launched Beats 360 at $349.99 with removable cushion kits, sensors that retune ANC and EQ by pad type, IPX4 sweat/water resistance, and a claimed ANC jump over Studio Pro. MacRumors detailed the launch; The Verge’s hands-on corroborated the same-day pitch.

Swappable cushions are the product hook

Beats 360 ships into a world of sealed ear pads you never touch. Here, Performance Knit and UltraPlush cushions are removable. Replacement kits normally list at $49.99, with a launch promo at $9.99 in select markets. Onboard sensors detect which cushion is attached and retune ANC and EQ accordingly—so the “workout knit” and “lounge plush” profiles are not just marketing colorways.

• Price: $349.99
• Cushions: removable Performance Knit and UltraPlush (kits normally $49.99; launch promo $9.99 select markets)
• ANC claim: up to 1.75× Studio Pro (Beats marketing)
• Battery: ~32 hours with ANC
• Durability: IPX4 sweat/water resistance
• Availability: orders open Sep 22; availability Sep 24
• Studio Pro: remains $299.99

ANC, battery, and ecosystem features

Beats’ headline acoustic claim is up to 1.75× the ANC of Studio Pro. Label that as Beats marketing, not an independent lab score—MacRumors and Verge coverage report the company figure, not a standardized isolation bake-off. Battery life is pitched at about 32 hours with ANC, which puts 360 in the modern all-week over-ear club if the claim holds in mixed volume and ANC use.

Dual Apple and Android ecosystem features are part of the pitch—pairing niceties on both sides rather than an iPhone-only accessory. Reviews noted there is no wired listening; do not invent a 3.5 mm fallback or THD lab numbers the launch coverage did not publish.

Where Studio Pro still sits

Studio Pro stays on the price list at $299.99—fifty dollars under 360. If you want swappable pads, IPX4, and the newer ANC claim, 360 is the SKU. If you want the cheaper Beats over-ear without the cushion ecosystem, Studio Pro remains the value lane. Orders opened September 22 with availability September 24.

Rocks take

A clear workout-to-commute over-ear play: modular cushions, IPX4, and a premium $349.99 tag above Studio Pro. Believe the 1.75× ANC line only after independent tests—not the launch slide. Source: MacRumors.
