Unlike the Beats Studio Pro and Solo 4, the new headphones feature a separate padded section underneath the headband. The earcups also appear to use a more open mesh design.Both the headband padding and ear cushions can reportedly be removed and replaced.

While Apple has not confirmed the product, the appearance of the same design across multiple retail listings makes the leak look fairly convincing.The Beats 360 could also be particularly interesting for buyers of Apple's more affordable MacBook Neo. The headphones are reportedly available in six colours: Sky, Black, Navy, Cloud, Pink and Volt. The Volt finish, in particular, appears to match the bright Citrus colour associated with the MacBook Neo.That gives the Beats 360 a considerably wider colour selection than the current Beats Studio Pro and Solo 4.Active noise cancellation and other featuresThe leaked product descriptions provide details about the audio features as well.
