A regulatory database entry has listed Apple model A3577 as a pair of Bluetooth over-ear headphones. The filing was first noted by an analyst who posted the information on X. The entry describes the product only as Bluetooth over-ear headphones and keeps most technical specifications confidential at the company's request.
The model number does not match any previously released Apple headphone products.
The filing comes shortly after the company released updated AirPods Max headphones. Analysts have noted that an all-new over-ear model would be unusual so soon after that release. One analyst stated the filing likely refers to a Beats-branded product. Beats Studio Pro headphones were last updated in July 2023, making that line a candidate for a refresh.
No release date has been confirmed.
Past products have appeared in regulatory filings days or weeks before an official announcement, with the company choosing its preferred launch window. Rumors of camera-equipped earbuds have circulated separately, but no reports have linked cameras to over-ear models.
