Again the guys from Bloomberg, specifically Mark Gurman, has got down to work and has published a new rumor, a rumor that suggests that Apple could launch a new type of headphones, independent of its Beats brand, headphones that would be of the circumaural type, also known as over-the-ear and would be wireless.
Apple's first proprietary headphones, the AirPods have been a huge hit in the marketplace, and it seems they've encouraged the Cupertino-based company to get down to business. The HomePod was Apple's first foray into the speaker industryRather second only to the speaker for the HomePod, and it seems that Apple has seen a huge market in this sector.
According to Gurman, the development of these new quality wireless speakers has had a rather bumpy development, similar to that of the HomePod, a device that Apple has been working on in recent years, a lot before Amazon launched the first smart speaker on the market. The launch of this new model of headphones could be scheduled before the end of the year, but it is more than likely that it will present them a few months before, as it usually does.
These new headphones, which would cover the entire ear, would offer us a noise cancellation system and would be managed by the W2 chip, second generation of which we can currently find both in the AirPods and in the different Beats models that Apple offers in the market and that are wireless. It is not mentioned if these new headphones would offer us the possibility of connecting the headphones by cable, in order to enjoy all the quality that, in theory, these headphones will offer us, since no matter how good the W1 and W2 chip is , they are still bluetooth and the quality it offers is not the same as through a cable, even if they use bluetooth version 5.x, a version that improves the range while maintaining practically the same sound quality.
