Over the head earphones can become a big hit! “Apple’s next big accessory launch is expected to bring a big revolution:

According to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo ,Apple is on the verge of releasing its first-ever wireless over-ear headphones. ,He had correctly predicted the release of the upgraded Apple Airpods and the Airpods Pro in 2019.

Another  report from Kuo says that the wireless headphones will be launched along with a  a number of new products in the first half of 2020.

So we can expect Apple over-ear headphones at WWDC in June. Apple is said to hold launch far earlier in the year, revealing Apple Arcade and Apple TV ,in March 2019, as well as the upgraded AirPods.

In fact, the company has held March product launches in four of the last five years (2019, 2018, 2016, and 2015), so it wouldn’t be out of the question to expect the new headphones in a matter of two, three months.

Kuo claims that the next few months will see in the anticipated iPhone SE2, a new iPad Pro and MacBooks with scissor keys, as well as a “smaller wireless charging mat, UWB tag, and a high-end Bluetooth headphone” from Apple.

The upcoming Apple accessory is designed to help you “tag your everyday items” and “never lose them again”

These are not the only new Apple headphones rumored to launch in 2020. The Airpods Lite  will apparently be the basic level version of the noise-cancelling AirPods Pro.

We are expecting to see the same H1 headphone chip that’s built-in to the AirPods (2019) and the  PowerBeats Pro.  This has been designed to improve connectivity and battery life. This also allows for a new ‘Hey Siri’ voice activation feature in the upgraded AirPods.

 

If the intention of Apple is to compete with the best over-ear headphones on the market, it should take a leaf out of Sony’s book, and offer the same high-standard of noise cancellation which is provided by the Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless Headphones
