Code found in the macOS Ventura 13.4 release candidate indicates that Apple is working on new Beats Studio Pro headphones. The headphones have an A2924 model number, which is different from the model numbers for the upcoming Beats Studio Buds+ earphones. The Beats Studio Pro name was found and shared by @aaronp613.

The Beats Studio Pro appears to be a new version of the current Beats Studio3 headphones, which have been available for several years old at this point. We haven’t seen the release of any new Beats-branded over-ear headphones launched since 2017.
As noted by MacRumors, Apple appears to be developing the Beats Studio Pro headphones in collaboration with Samuel Ross of A-Cold-Wall. The design appears to be largely identical to the Beats Studio3 headphones. However, we can expect to see Apple add internal component improvements to justify the “Pro” label.
The new headphones could boast an updated Apple-designed chip inside the new headphones, as the current Studio3 headphones continue to use Apple’s W1 chip. We can also expect to see other improvements, such as possibly improved Active Noise Cancellation and the addition of a Transparency Mode. We could also see the addition of “Hey Siri” support, as that feature is not available in the current Studio3 headphones.
