Apple FCC Filing Reveals A3577 Over-Ear Headphones as AirPods Max 2 Remains A3454

A3577 surfaced in newly published FCC documents as an unreleased Apple "Bluetooth over-ear headphones" product, adding a fresh model to Apple's audio pipeline.
FCC records indicate it is not AirPods Max 2, which uses model number A3454, while key technical and design documents remain temporarily sealed under Apple's standard confidentiality request.
One public figure only shows the FCC ID label placement on a generic-looking ear cup, leaving the product's branding and hardware details unclear.
Beats is one possible destination for the model—potentially a successor to the Beats Studio Pro launched in July 2023—but the filing offers no confirmation.
After the disappointing AirPods Max 2, is this mystery headphone a new Beats model to finally challenge Sony and Bose?
Will Apple's next over-ear headphones finally deliver the lossless audio and design fixes that the premium market demands?
