Pre-order new Beats Studio 3 Wireless Over-Ears

Apple focused on earphones and the Solo line during its short reign as Beats Corporate Overlords, but now the over-ear line is also getting some attention. The new Studio 3 Wireless Over-Ears have been officially revealed at IFA 2017.

As it is the trend these days, these are both Bluetooth and with Active Noise Cancellation, using a built-in battery, and with increased battery life. Even though Apple went Lightning cable on the iPhones, these are conventional headphones with a 3.5mm cable, and microUSB charging.

They are available in four different unibody colors, with a late October release estimate [only an estimate!], and a price of $350. This is also the price of the pre-order price of the new Sony WH-1000X M2 [that’s the second generation of the MDR-1000X ~ Sony rebooted the naming scheme because it expanded the line-up to earphones as well].

Pre-ordering is available at authorized Apple dealers B&H Photo with free expedited shipping (when they become available obviously).
