A recent filing with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has revealed details about an unannounced pair of Bluetooth headphones from Apple, identified by the model number A3577. The filing, noted by MacRumors, categorizes the device as 'Bluetooth over-ear headphones' and specifies that it includes an integral battery, microphone, and antenna. However, the document does not clarify whether these headphones will be marketed under the Apple brand or as a new product from Beats, which is also owned by Apple. The model number format used for these headphones is consistent with Apple's naming conventions, which often overlap between AirPods and Beats products. For instance, the AirPods Max 2 is listed as A3454, while the Beats Studio Pro was A2924. Given Apple's recent release of the AirPods Max 2, it is more likely that this new model points to an upcoming Beats product, especially considering the existing lineup includes the Beats Studio Pro and the anticipated Beats Solo 4. As the details remain largely confidential, speculation continues about the features and release date of these headphones.
