A new patent granted to Apple today describes a new “gaming headset” that looks like the Beats headphones we’re familiar with, but with a microphone.

The headset, which we note was designed by Ammunition Group, the same firm that designed the Beats headphones.

A patent is no sure sign of Apple’s plans, but it certainly points to the possibility that Apple is pushing Beats technology into the gaming space.
