The headset in the post appears to have a color between bubblegum pink and lilac. The photos do not clearly show whether the product is an over-ear or around-the-ear model, but the FCC recently appeared A3577 The coded record “Bluetooth over-ear headphones” strengthens this possibility. The fact that Apple hid the product name in the FCC file increased the comments that the new model could be released under the Beats brand.

In Beats’ current product family, Beats Solo 4 is lighter and positioned in the over-ear class. Beats for Solo 4 Up to 50 hours battery life and supports lossless audio via USB-C. Beats Studio Pro is Up to 40 hours battery lifeIt carries higher-end features such as active noise cancellation, Transparency mode and lossless audio over USB-C.

The model worn by Yamal differs from Studio Pro’s flat headband in the photos. Thinner connection arms, a circular band widening at the top, and the headphone body becoming more prominent towards the outside, create a silhouette reminiscent of AirPods Max, as 9to5Mac noted. However, the Beats logo and the choice of pink color make it more likely that this product is a new Beats model instead of AirPods Max.

Which model could the new Beats headphones be?

Available data shows that the product could be Beats Studio Pro 2 or a new in-ear model connected to the Studio family. Beats Studio Pro in 2023 has been released, and Apple may choose to make design updates to its audio products in cycles approaching three years. Of course, FCC registration alone does not verify the product name; Therefore, Yamal’s post remains the strongest visual clue before the official announcement.

Model Medicine Battery life Featured feature
Beats Solo 4 on ear up to 50 hours USB-C, 3.5mm input, spatial audio
Beats Studio Pro ear surrounding up to 40 hours ANC, Transparency mode, USB-C lossless audio
The model shown by Yamal Possibly surrounding the ear Not disclosed New round band design, pink color

From Türkiye’s perspective, this product will be placed directly in the premium headphone segment due to its Apple Store and authorized dealer pricing. Beats Studio Pro is currently considered on the same shelf with models such as Sony WH-1000XM series, Bose QuietComfort Ultra and AirPods Max. If the new model really comes in the line of Studio Pro 2, we can say that Beats wants to renew not only the audio performance but also the design language.

Here, Beats establishes a marketing language that feels like a controlled leak rather than a classic technology launch. It is no coincidence that a young, global and highly visible athlete like Lamine Yamal was chosen. In the headphone market, visibility as much as technical features affects the sales decision. So the new pink Beats tell the story that even before the official announcement, Apple is preparing a design-centric move in the audio ecosystem.
