Rumors
A little details about Apple's over-ear headphones
So far, Apple's over-ear headphones have been kept under the wraps with no renders or leaks coming our way. However, we expect it to have a design similar to the likes of Beats Solo 3, Sony WH-1000XM3, and Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700. The new headphones should also come with AirPods Pro-like features including Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency Mode, Adaptive Equalizer, and Siri support.

When will these Apple headphones be launched?
According to Apple Insider, products with a placeholder generally "ship within a month, and sometimes as soon as a week following initial appearance in the system." Hence, we can expect Apple to announce the headphones by March.
