Beats 360 Price, Specs, and PH Availability: Swappable Cushions, IPX4, 32-Hour Battery

Beats is not shy about calling Beats 360 a flagship. Announced Sep 22, 2026, and on Apple Store shelves from Sep 24, the headphone is built for people who refuse to give up over-ears at the gym — and who want the cushions to match their mood. For Philippine readers, local tech sites have already posted a peso SRP even as US retail got the first confirmed on-shelf moment.

That combination — official specs, a live retail window, and local price listings — is why Beats 360 earns the devices slot this week instead of another foldable-phone recap. If you are comparing headphones before a sale weekend or a training block, here is the practical guide.

Beats 360 price: US vs Philippines

Beats’ intro cushion pricing at $9.99 is limited to select markets (including the US, Canada, the UK, France, Australia, South Korea, and China) and runs Sep 22 through Oct 31, 2026, while supplies last. Philippine listings from GizGuide and ASTIG.ph quote ₱3,490 for kits without promising that promo. Treat peso figures as SRP from local press until Apple Philippines or a major authorized reseller posts live cart pricing.

Design: the first Beats over-ear you can re-skin

Interchangeable cushions are the headline. Each Beats 360 ships with color-matched Performance Knit earcup and headband cushions. Extra Performance Knit kits come in Black, Cloud, Pink, Sky, Navy, and Volt. UltraPlush kits (engineered leather, the material language of Studio Pro and Solo 4) arrive in Black and Cloud. Swap for sweat sessions, then move to UltraPlush for long flights.

Core colors for the headphones themselves are Black, Cloud, Pink, and Sky. Beats moved electronics into the earcups — chip, battery, antenna — freeing the slim headband for a balanced-fit redesign. Official weight cited in PH coverage is about 294.5 grams. A fold-flat design and woven ripstop case are in the box with a USB-C cable.

Sound, ANC, and battery (company claims)

Beats describes a new acoustic architecture with custom drivers, sensitive three-layer diaphragms, and dual neodymium magnets per side. Adaptive EQ stays on to tune sound to fit. Active Noise Cancelling is billed as the brand’s strongest yet — up to 1.75x more total noise cancellation than Beats Studio Pro under Beats’ IEC-based test. Transparency mode covers street awareness. Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking and Dolby Atmos support round out the cinema/music pitch.

Battery life is quoted at up to 32 hours with Adaptive EQ when ANC and Transparency are off, and — notably — up to 32 hours with ANC and Personalized Spatial Audio on, per Beats’ August 2026 lab testing notes. Transparency mode drops the figure to 24 hours in the same footnotes. Fast Fuel: five minutes of USB-C charging for up to about an hour of playback. Nine MEMS microphones support ANC and calls, with beamforming for voice.

Until independent reviews settle in, treat the 1.75x ANC multiplier and lab battery numbers as manufacturer claims, not third-party verdicts.

IPX4: what it does and does not mean

Beats 360 is the first Beats over-ear with an IPX4 rating for sweat and water resistance under IEC 60529 lab tests. That covers workouts and light rain splash, not pool laps or a full wash under a faucet. Resistance can wear down with use. Do not charge the headphones while wet. For Manila gym humidity and outdoor jogs, IPX4 is the feature that separates 360 from Studio Pro’s living-room bias.

Apple and Android: same chip, two playbooks

A custom Beats chip (not Apple H1/H2) still delivers one-touch pairing, Hey Siri, Automatic Switching, Audio Sharing, FaceTime Spatial Audio, Personalized Spatial Audio, and Find My with network location on Apple gear running current software. Android users get Fast Pair, Audio Switch, Find Hub, and the Beats app (Android 15 or later, per Beats). Class 1 Bluetooth 5.3 is the radio story. Physical buttons live on the earcups: volume and play/pause on the right; power and listening mode on the left.

Who should buy Beats 360 — and who should wait

Buy if: You train with over-ears, want swappable colors, need IPX4, and live in both Apple and Android ecosystems across the week. The modular cushions also help if ear pads usually wear out before the drivers do.

Consider Studio Pro instead if: You mostly sit at a desk or commute, rarely sweat on the cups, and want to save versus 360. Apple cut Studio Pro to $299.99 US alongside this launch.

Wait if: You need confirmed stock at a specific Power Mac Center or Apple reseller branch tomorrow, or you want extended listening tests from non-Apple reviewers. US shelves opened Sep 24; PH availability is listed in peso terms by local press, with broader retail still catching up.

Sustainability notes (from Beats)

Beats says 360 uses 80% recycled plastic across multiple components — its highest recycled-plastic share yet in a Beats product — plus 100% recycled rare earth elements in magnets, and packaging from 100% plant-based or recycled fiber materials (US packaging math; adhesives/inks excluded). Those are company environmental claims worth reading beside the audio specs if sustainability weighs in your cart.
