There's a rumor going around that Apple is
about to release an over-ear noise-canceling version of its AirPods called
AirPods Studio. Previously, it was estimated that the headphones would launch
sometime in the second half of the year, but a new report says that the pair
might see broad daylight right before H1 2020 ends.
An analysis reveals that the supplier for
Apple's AirPods family has already started production of the new Studio
variant. This means that the announcement may take place as soon as next month.
MacRumors think that this might happen during Apple's Worldwide Developer
Conference towards the end of June. Then again, the company might not want to
shift the focus of the event so the headphones will be announced in a separate
event.
The rumors so far suggest that the AirPods
studio will launch for about US$ 349 and come in different variants - in premium
leather and more breathable fabrics suitable for exercise. The ear and the band
padding can be easily changed with magnetic snaps. A slew of sensors will also
determine whether you are wearing the headphones and change the audio channel
from left to right when putting them on and vice versa.
