Last week there were Clues that Apple will launch a new product on Tuesday, December 8 (today). After that, there was plenty of speculation about which product Apple would announce. That now seems to become clearer: chances are that it concerns the long-awaited AirPods Studio headphones.
AirPods Studio launch
AppleTrack sources say the release of Apple’s first over-ear headphones is imminent. The headphones – which will likely be called AirPods Studio – could potentially launch today. “But,” the website says, “Apple’s plans are changeable and subject to change.”
The AppleTrack website has no track record when it comes to rumors, so it’s doubtful the sources are reliable. Reliable Apple insider Mark Gurman did make the rumors more plausible by responding shortly afterwards with: “Apple still plans to announce high-end, noise-canceling over-ear headphones.”

The trustworthy Apple leaker @ L0vetodream previously reported that Apple plans to release a ‘Christmas surprise‘. It would be ‘good for the winter’, but it remained mysterious about which product it was. We already speculated about the new AirPods Studio headphones, which can keep your ears warm this winter.
Rumors
The AirPods Studio are rumored to be high-end over-ear headphones that should cost around $ 349. It reportedly has features like active noise cancellation, transparency mode, and head and neck detection – similar to the AirPods’ ear detection.
There have also been rumors that Apple is working on two versions. The first is the more luxurious variant, the second is more focused on sports and made of lighter materials. Furthermore, the headphones are thought to have a retro look.
