According to Bloomberg, this year Apple will introduce full-size (over-ear) wireless high-end headphones with a modular design, rumors about which have been circulating on the Web for several months.
Apple is reportedly working on at least two versions of the earbuds, including a "premium version using leather-like materials" and a "fitness model that uses lighter, breathable materials with small holes."
The prototype headphones are retro-styled with oval swiveling ear cups and a thin metal headband that originates from the tops of the ear cups rather than from the sides. This was reported to Bloomberg by sources who wished to remain anonymous due to the discussion of an unannounced product.
According to sources, the ear cups and headband are magnetically attached, allowing users to swap them for customization and replacement. This modular design makes it easy to convert your headphones for fitness activities.
Apple's new headphones are expected to feature pairing support and noise cancellation similar to those found on the AirPods Pro. In addition, the new headphones will receive support for the intelligent assistant Siri for voice control, as well as a set of built-in touch controls.
Bloomberg sources claim that Apple plans to introduce new headphones later this year. In turn, blogger Jon Prosser reported on Twitter that the Apple device will debut in June at the Apple WWDC developer conference. The price of new items will be about $350, that is, it will be in the same range as the Beats Studio3 and Bose 700.
