360 Over-Ear Headphones

Most headphones treat the cushion as fixed furniture. The Beats 360 treats it as the first thing a user might want to change.

These are the first Beats headphones built with interchangeable ear and headband cushions, and the design carries through to the colour-matching: each pair ships with Performance Knit cushions that correspond to the headphone's finish, while additional Cushion Kits are available in further colours and materials. The swap changes how the headphones look and feel against the head, which matters on a pair meant to be worn for long sessions. Underneath the cushions, the sound system is fully bespoke. Each driver uses a three-layer diaphragm and dual neodymium magnets, the magnets providing the field strength needed for both power output and precise transient response. Noise cancellation works alongside that driver architecture rather than compensating for a cheaper one.

Connectivity runs through a custom Beats chip that handles integration across Apple and Android devices, and the Bluetooth is Class 1 at version 5.3, which extends the reliable range beyond what standard Bluetooth radios typically achieve. Class 1 transmitters operate at higher power, so the connection holds further from the source device before it begins to degrade. The 360 Over-Ear Headphones carry IPX4 water resistance, making them usable in rain or during exercise without the cushion system becoming a liability.
