Apple’s branded over-ear headphones to launch in second half of 2019

Apple plans to launch its own branded over-ear headphones as early as the second half of the year, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. Gurman briefly mentioned this info in a recent report about Sonos working on its first-ever, high-end over-the-ear headphones. He previously mentioned that Apple’s high-end, over-the-ear headphones could launch this year.
Back in June, Gurman reported that Apple’s premium over-the-ear headphones would be separate from the Beats line. The headphones will be “studio quality” and a “higher-end alternative” to Beats. In case you are not aware, Beats is the same brand which Apple purchased for $3 billion back in 2014.
