In a new report, noted Apple analyst
Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities says that Apple is updating its wireless AirPods
and is working on its own brand of high-quality over-ears headphones, which
could arrive later this year, according to Apple Insider.
The report says that Apple plans for the headphones to “be as
convenient as AirPods with better sound quality,” and that they could arrive by
fourth quarter this year. It also notes that the headphones are expected to “be
priced higher than AirPods,” which retail for $159. Word broke earlier this
week that Apple is planning a couple of upgrades to AirPods
including the ability to activate Siri by voice this year, and making them
water-resistant in 2019.
If the report is accurate, it looks
as though Apple is looking for high-end headphones of its own for customers who
want more than the company’s AirPods. Apple delving into the world of
high-quality headphones isn’t too strange: the company already owns a
headphones company, Beats, which it bought in 2014 for $3 billion.
