Key comparative upgrades include:
- Up to 1.75x More Noise Cancellation: The Beats 360 deliver up to 1.75 times more noise cancellation capacity than the Beats Studio Pro, making them far better at blocking out unwanted environmental sounds.
- Improved Sound Quality: Acoustic enhancements provide clearer sound quality across your favorite tracks, audiobooks, and podcasts.
- AirPods Max-Inspired Design: Unlike older models, the Beats 360 adopt an over-ear design similar to AirPods Max, featuring swappable ear cushions that allow you to customize colors.
Key Audio Features and Smart Capabilities
The Beats 360 headphones come equipped with a full suite of advanced listening modes and modern connectivity features. These features ensure a high-end audio experience whether you are commuting, working, or exercising.
Standard features supported by the Beats 360 include:
- Personalized Spatial Audio: Provides an immersive, multi-dimensional listening experience tailored to your ear geometry.

Gym Compatibility: IPX4 Sweat and Water Resistance
For active users who plan to wear their headphones during intense workouts, physical protection is critical. The Beats 360 headphones carry an official IPX4 rating for sweat and water resistance.
This water-resistance rating makes the Beats 360 headphones suitable for gym sessions, outdoor runs, and active daily routines. Combined with breathable cushion options, they are built to endure sweat without compromising functionality.
Understanding the Cushion Options: Performance Knit vs. UltraPlush
One of the defining design elements of the Beats 360 headphones is the ability to swap cushion styles based on your preferred activity or aesthetic taste. Beats offers two distinct ear cushion options designed for different listening scenarios.
1. Performance Knit Memory Foam Cushions
The Performance Knit cushions come pre-installed and shipped directly in the box with the Beats 360 headphones. They are crafted with breathable memory foam specifically engineered for fitness and active movement, making them ideal for working out.
2. UltraPlush Cushions
For users seeking maximum comfort during extended daily listening, UltraPlush cushions offer a softer, more pillowy feel against the head. Unlike the Performance Knit options, the UltraPlush cushions are sold separately as add-on accessories.
Pricing, Discount Offers, and Color Choices
The Beats 360 headphones are officially priced at $349.99. To celebrate the launch, Apple is offering a limited-time promotion on additional cushion sets.
Through October 31, buyers can purchase add-on ear cushions at a discounted price of just $9.99. This limited-time discount allows owners to mix and match different cushion colors for a custom aesthetic at a fraction of the regular cost.
