The Next Beats Over-Ear Headphones Are Coming, Here's Everything We Know
Share
Update, 14 August 2026: the timeline has shifted. Read our latest report on why the new over-ears may not land until December.
Beats has spent 2026 leaning heavily into collaborations, but the biggest story isn't a colorway, it's what's coming next. A new over-ear headphone, widely expected to succeed the Beats Studio Pro, has been teased publicly and already has an FCC filing on record under model number A3577.
How we found out
Footballer Lamine Yamal teased the unreleased design in an Instagram post ahead of the World Cup, showing a design language that looks like a meaningful step from the current Studio Pro rather than a simple refresh. The FCC filing confirms a genuinely new model is in the certification pipeline, which typically means a release is measured in months, not years.
What Beats has actually shipped in 2026 so far
While the new over-ears are still unreleased, Beats has kept up a steady collaboration cadence this year:
- Beats Solo 4 in Onyx Black with matching attachable bows, released 24 April 2026, following the Ruby Red edition from late 2025
- Nike Powerbeats Pro 2, the first official Beats x Nike collaboration, released 20 March 2026
- Beats Pill in two new colorways, Blush Pink and Navy Blue
- A Sandy Liang limited-edition Beats Solo 4, designed with the New York-based designer
What to buy right now
If you don't want to wait for the new over-ears, the current Beats lineup covers most use cases well: the Solo 4 for everyday on-ear listening, Powerbeats Pro 2 for workouts, the Fit Pro for a secure noise-cancelling fit, and the Pill for portable speaker duty. All of them are proven, current-generation products, not a reason to wait for a rumor to become official.
