A few users on Reddit in countries outside of the United States have noticed that the Powerbeats3 Wireless Earphones have been made available to order from Apple.com, outlining arrival windows of as early as next week for users in the areas. In the U.S., the Bluetooth earphones simply state “coming this fall” on Apple.com.
The United Kingdom and France display the earliest delivery estimates for the Powerbeats3 earphones, currently sitting at November 2-9 on Apple’s website, and Australia is a few days later on November 4-8. Otherwise most countries, including Germany, Spain, Italy, and Sweden, all mention vague 1-2 week shipping estimates that fall within the window of the dates for the U.K., France, and Australia, without being specific.

The takeaway appears to be that the new Beats earphones will be launching on a large scale sometime in November, most likely early in the month, ahead of the holiday shopping season. When the device was announced at Apple’s September 7 iPhone event, the company mentioned that the Powerbeats3 and BeatsX would be coming sometime later in the year but didn’t say when.
With Apple’s Mac-focused “Hello Again” event just two days away, it’s possible that the company will put up the new Beats earphones in tandem with the launch of new Macs that’s expected to happen following the event. If orders begin on October 27 in the United States, the earphones could hit the shipping estimates of early-to-mid November displayed today in these various countries around the world. The Powerbeats3 also appear to be featured prominently in next week’s Target circular, suggesting a wide online and retail rollout is imminent in the United States.
For the BeatsX earphones, most versions of Apple.com still say “coming this fall,” while Apple’s upcoming AirPods are listed as “available late October” for every country.
