Apple is working on a new pair of Beats headphones, according to leaked FCC documents. They work over Bluetooth and appear to be pretty much identical to the Solo2 headphones Beats released in May.

The documents are filed by Apple, which makes sense given its ownership of Beats. Although Apple’s name is all over the documents, it appears that it intends to keep using the Beats brand for new audio hardware.

The cans themselves connect over Bluetooth 4.0 Low-Energy, but otherwise function just like the current Solo2 headphones. Beats sells its more high-end Studio headphones for $300 with a $79 markup for Bluetooth. Since the Solo2 headphones sell for $200, it would make sense for this upcoming wireless model to cost $279.
