Still no AirPods Studio, but Apple could still unveil them in 2020

October 16, 2020
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


Óscar Gutiérrez/CNET

Apple has released four new iPhone 12 models, two new Apple Watches, iPads and the HomePod Mini so far in 2020, but other long-rumored products like the AirPods Studio headphones and AirTags may still see the light of day before the year is up. Apple recently removed rival headphones and wireless speakers from its stores, which seems like a good sign that a headphone-related announcement is imminent.

Like other high-end headphones and the AirPods Pro, the AirPods Studio headphones are likely to have noise cancellation and a transparency mode that can pipe in external sounds for personal safety and awareness of your surroundings. Although Apple owns Beats and has several over-ear headphones like the Solo Pro already available, there’s been speculation about an Apple-branded pair since early 2018.

Considering the success of AirPods in the wireless earbud market, Apple may look to bring all of its audio gear under one umbrella. Here’s everything we’ve heard about the AirPods Studio so far.

Rumors about AirPods Studio headphones are getting louder



6:32

A mystery headphone appears in iOS 14

We got some indication of what AirPods Studio might look like, at least in terms of what its icon looks like in iOS, when it was first spotted in iOS 14 code by 9to5Mac back in May. The image shows a standard over-ear headphone with padded cups and a white or grey color, although this could just be a variance for light and dark modes in iOS. 

This isn’t the first time a glyph or product image showed up in software before an official release: the AirPods Pro, PowerBeats Pro and PowerBeats 4 all were spotted in glyph form before being announced.

An earlier report from Bloomberg also reported that Apple was working on several versions of over-ear headphones, including a fitness-oriented model and one with premium leather-like finishes. There was speculation that the headphones may have interchangeable components too, like being able to switch out ear cups. You can already customize products like the Apple Watch with a myriad of metal finishes, colors and bands, so it’s no surprise that Apple may do something similar with other wearables like headphones.

Later, an image and video appeared online by a Twitter user known as @choco_bit, who claims to show the so-called Sport variant of the AirPods Pro. The images are of headphones with two squareish cups and a headband that appears to be padded with something similar to the HomePod mesh. The video shows what could be a case for the headphones.

Probably Sport variant of Apples headphones

Personally not impressed, looks too much like 2 Palm Pre’s attached to 2 tuning forks :/ hard to unsee

Looks a lot like what @markgurman described in April, but with homepod mesh pic.twitter.com/dzAufRRl7m

Apple leaker Jon Prosser also followed up with the render below, which looks similar to the models pictured above.

– High quality leather / metal
– Magnetic ear cups
– Reversible – detects R/L ear
– No headphone jack
– USBC port

Prosser earlier said the AirPods Studio would start at $349, putting them in the same ballpark as premium headphones such as the Bose 700 and Sony WH-1000XM4. 

AirPods Studio could have unique sensors and audio tools

The most intriguing thing about the AirPods Studio are the rumors about what’s inside. According to that same 9to5Mac report, they may have a sensor to detect whether the headphones are on your head or resting on your neck, which would allow them to play and pause music accordingly. This is similar to the AirPods, which have sensors that detect when you take one out of your ear.

The AirPods Pro knows when you take them out of your ears.


Angela Lang/CNET

Unlike other over-ear headphones, the AirPods Studio might not have a right or wrong way to wear them. They may automatically be able detect how you put the headphones on and adjust the left and right channels accordingly.

The AirPods Pro has an adaptive equalizer that changes the sound automatically, depending on variables such as your ear shape. But they don’t offer a user-adjustable EQ unless you change the settings in an app like Apple Music or Spotify. If the AirPods Studio wants to seriously compete with brands like Bose and Sony, Apple will likely need to give us a dedicated equalizer to tweak the sound settings on the AirPods Studio.

As for battery life, we don’t yet have details of how long the AirPods Studio might last. But the Beats Solo Pro, which is an Apple-owned headphone that costs $300 (£270, AU$429), offers 22 hours of listening time with noise cancellation active (or up to 40 without).

It’s safe to assume the AirPods Studio would have some sort of touch panel, or way to control playback without needing to reach for your phone or use the voice assistant. This would be similar to the regular AirPods that have tap controls, or stem controls in the case of the AirPods Pro.

But a recent tweet by Prosser claims that AirPods Studio may be facing production delays and some features may not make the final release.

First:

Major hiccup in AirPods Studio production 😬

A few key features have now been cut.

Seems they still need to work some things out before we have final units.

Looking like they won’t be ready to ship until December AT BEST. pic.twitter.com/oRRTXJQVhH

AirPods Studio could use Apple’s U1 chip

Since making its debut in the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro, Apple’s ultrawide-band or U1 chip has flown under the radar somewhat. At the moment, it’s used for more accurate AirDrop transfers, but its potential reaches far beyond just file sharing. The other potential for the U1 is for its accurate location tracking and a Twitter user known as @L0vetodream posted that the AirPods Studio could use this chip.

This chip could potentially help the headphones know how to route the audio according to how they’re worn, or simply to pinpoint the headphones with greater accuracy in the Find My app. 

Will the Beats name fade? Will Apple keep AirPods and Beats separate?

That’s one big question we don’t know the answer to yet. Apple has always kept the Beats headphones fairly separate from AirPods, even though they share some of the same internals. The Solo Pro released in 2019, for example, has active noise cancellation, transparency mode and the same chip that’s in the AirPods for fast connections to Apple devices. They also come with voice-activated Hey Siri.

One sign that the Beats Solo Pro might be on the way out is they just received a substantial $100 price cut at retailers, including Amazon and Best Buy.
