Apple Is Developing Over-ear Headphones With Interchangeable Parts

The high-end Apple headphones to arrive later this year reportedly include swappable ear pads and headbands that magnetically attach.

The company designed them in such a manner that users would be able to switch out parts during exercise sessions and benefit from noise cancellation feature, Siri support for voice control and built-in touch controls, according to Bloomberg.

Moreover, the Giant is creating at least two models – a premium version with leather-like fabrics and a fitness-focused model with breathable materials with small perforations, the people said.

The over-ear headphones will cost around $350-400 and will probably make great competitors for most premium over-ear headphones, likeBose’s Noise Cancelling Headphones 700, or Sennheiser’s third-gen Momentum Wireless headphones.

The product is been in works for two years now and has been postponed twice. Although it was supposed to be released later this year, the company’s ability to do final testing on the product could be compromised.
