Lee Kang-in Wears Unreleased Beats Headphones as Customizable Design Fuels July Launch Speculation

1 articles · Updated · T3 · Jun 15

Summary

  • Lee Kang-in was photographed after South Korea’s win over Czechia wearing unreleased Beats over-ear headphones with neon yellow cushions and headband against white earcups.
  • That two-tone setup has intensified speculation Beats will offer interchangeable parts, as the design also differs from current Solo 4 and Studio Pro models.
  • The sighting extends a broader teaser campaign that began in late May, when Spain’s Lamine Yamal appeared publicly in a bright pink version and later showed a second colorway.
  • FCC filings and repeated athlete appearances suggest a launch is nearing, with comparisons to Beats’ 2024 Pill rollout pointing to a possible July announcement ahead of or just after the 2026 World Cup.
