Beats 360 Over-Ear Headphones Offer Sweat-Proof Design for Gym Use
Beats introduced the 360 over-ear headphones, featuring IPX4 water resistance, removable knit ear cups and a replaceable battery aimed at workout durability.
Beats launched the 360 over-ear headphones as a workout-focused alternative to earbuds, marking the company’s first IP-certified audio gear with an IPX4 rating for sweat and splash resistance. The detachable cushions can be cleaned with a mild soap solution and swapped for plush engineered-leather pads, which also trigger automatic tuning adjustments.
Audio performance delivers punchy bass and clear highs, but the mids lack separation, making guitars and vocals blend together; ANC works adequately but does not match top-tier models like Sony XM5 or Bose Ultra Gen 2. Additional features include a replaceable battery, soft-sided carry bag, and seamless pairing across Apple and Android ecosystems, though the lack of a hard case and the higher price may limit broader appeal.
Why it matters
Consumers seeking durable, sweat-resistant headphones for gym workouts now have a new option with interchangeable cushions and water resistance.
