Beats 360 leans into workouts with IPX4 protection, swappable cushions and a $349 price
Beats 360 is pitching over-ear headphones for workouts, pairing IPX4 sweat and water resistance with swappable cushions. Gizmodo and WIRED both frame the fitness focus as the standout, though WIRED finds them less compelling for everyday listening.
TLDR
Beats’ new $349 Beats 360 is being positioned as an over-ear headphone built for workouts, an unusual pitch in a category that reviewers say has often been awkward for exercise. The headphones add IPX4 sweat and water resistance, a first for Beats over-ear models, and use interchangeable cushions in breathable Performance Knit and smoother UltraPlush options. Gizmodo reports the 360 feels much lighter than AirPods Max 2 and cites Beats’ claim that it is similar in weight to the 260-gram Beats Studio Pro, while WIRED lists the pair at 295 grams and says it works best as a trade-off: strong for gym use, but less convincing for everyday listening and sound quality. Battery life is listed at up to 32 hours with ANC on.
