If you want over-ear headphones for workouts, Beats 360 pairs an IPX4 rating with removable cushions. It includes knit cushions and a case, but no USB-C charging cable. Early reviews find the fit comfortable, while listening impressions differ. Try the stock cushions before paying for extras; battery life and durability still need longer testing.

Evidence summary
Recurring strengths and trade-offs
In early reviews, Tate and RecordingNOW both find Beats 360 comfortable. RecordingNOW describes the optional plush cushions as softer but warmer than the included knit set. These first impressions do not establish how the fit holds up over months.
In early reviews, Tate and RecordingNOW both value the replaceable cushions. Tate points to changing worn parts; RecordingNOW finds the optional plush pads softer but warmer than the included knit set.
What depends on needs and context
Early listening reactions differ. Tate finds voices thin and mids and highs grating; RecordingNOW hears lean bass and recessed mids with the included knit pads. In its written review, Tom's Guide instead describes punchy bass and clear vocals. Try your music with the included cushions.
Decision checks
The box holds the headphones, color-matched Performance Knit cushions, a case, a quick start guide, and documentation. The USB-C charging cable and power adapter are sold separately.
Tate's early video review and Tom's Guide's written review flag the missing wear sensor. Playback does not pause simply because you remove the headphones, so pause it yourself before setting them down.
Personalized Spatial Audio needs compatible hardware, and a personal profile needs an iPhone with a TrueDepth camera. Find My on these headphones needs iOS 27 or later.
Apple's one-year limited warranty covers a Beats-branded hardware product against defects in materials and workmanship, and it excludes damage from accident or abuse. Those warranty benefits are in addition to rights provided by consumer law.
September 2026 written reviews conflict: 9to5Mac and Android Central report no wired USB-C audio, while Tom's Guide says it works. If you need a cable for a plane or computer, verify the connection with Beats or the retailer before buying.
Beats includes Performance Knit cushions and sells UltraPlush separately. In an early review, RecordingNOW found the plush set warmer and more comfortable, with stronger bass from its seal. Your fit and sound may differ.

Product facts
Answers are shown only when their source links are retained.
Beats began taking orders on 22 September 2026 and listed in-store availability from 24 September 2026 in the US and more than 100 countries and regions. Apple has product listings in the US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand. Check the official store for your country and delivery area.
Beats claims up to 32 hours with ANC and Personalized Spatial Audio on, or with Adaptive EQ when ANC and Transparency are off. It claims 24 hours in Transparency mode and up to one hour from a five-minute USB-C charge. These are manufacturer test results, not independent long-term measurements.
Beats lists Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode. Its claim of up to 1.75 times the total noise cancellation of Beats Studio Pro is a manufacturer comparison under IEC 60268-24, not an independent result.
No. Beats rates it IPX4 and says it is sweat and water resistant for non-water sports and exercise.
Beats lists four headphone colours: Black, Cloud, Pink, and Sky, each with matching Performance Knit cushions. Navy, Volt, and UltraPlush finishes are cushion kits sold separately.
Beats has a model-specific support page linking to setup, on-device controls and fit instructions. Apple also provides a Beats 360 controls guide and cushion-fit guide online, plus a service route. A quick start guide is included in the box.
