Apple is reportedly working on “high-end” over-ear wireless headphones with an “all-new design” “as convenient as AirPods.”
Apple has spent the past few years developing a team of the finest engineers from top universities and elite audio brands, and their recent efforts have been extremely well-received in the audiophile community (relative to their segment). AirPods have become the most revolutionary and successful audio product in recent years, while HomePod has brought beamforming technology to an impeccably-measured speaker at a consumer price point. Over-ear headphones could be the perfect vehicle to showcase the talent and potential of Apple’s audio engineering team.
Apple’s first self-branded foray into over-ear headphones is expected to be released as early as this fall.

It may seem early to start a thread on the product, but considering the impact of AirPods the headphone industry should watch Apple’s next moves very closely. This thread will be updated as more information is released.
