Beats 360 review: Customizable headphones capable of double duty

Engadget · 5 hours ago

The Beats 360 is a new $350 over-ear headphone designed to work both as an everyday listening device and as a gym-friendly option. Its main selling point is customisation: users can swap the ear cups and headband cushions, choosing between workout-oriented Performance Knit fabric and softer UltraPlush padding, with more than 250 possible colour combinations.

The headphones use a lighter, cable-free design with separate batteries and processing hardware in each side, plus physical controls and a newly developed acoustic system. They are described as surprisingly lightweight, but the reviewer found the clamping force uncomfortable for larger heads and the similarly shaped buttons difficult to identify by touch, while replacement Cushion Kits cost $50.

  • Beats 360 combines everyday listening with gym use.
  • Interchangeable cushions offer over 250 colour combinations.
  • Lightweight design has comfort and button-location drawbacks.
