Apple has added a listing for a new custom-designed pair of Beats Studio3 Wireless headphones that celebrate the 27th birthday of Brazilian soccer star Neymar Jr.

The Neymar Jr. Custom Edition headphones feature graffiti-style decals over the outside of the ear cups and headband that hark back to the soccer player's childhood roots in the streets of São Paulo and pay homage to his famous "Shhh..." tattoo.

The headphones also feature a number 10 inside the headband, representing the Paris Saint-Germain player's shirt number and 10-year professional soccer career.
Inspired by the graffiti-writing style from the São Paulo streets where it all began, the Beats Studio3 Wireless - Neymar Jr. Custom Edition honors Neymar's strength of character. The design is a tribute to his famous "Shhh..." tattoo, representing his ability to adapt to anything, on and off the field, staying true to himself.
Priced at $349.95, the new Beats Studio3 custom-designed headphones are listed by Apple as "coming soon," but anyone interested in picking up a pair shouldn't have to wait too long, as Neymar Jr's birthday was just yesterday.

All beats headphones are tacky as hell.

I wouldn't be caught dead wearing any sort of Beats over-ear headphones. Much less pay $350 for a piece of plastic paying homage to some dude who's covered in tattoos and has an incredible aversion to admitting fault.
 
Does it roll on the floor in agony if you hardly touch it?

The problem with this is that the behavior is spreading to other sports. It was probably always there to a small degree but now every sport seems to have major catastrophic injuries until the officials either call a penalty or the game continues. In either case it’s amazing how quickly a player recovers from the injury.
 
The perfect partnership. The ability to transcend the arena they inhabit, but consistently and embarrassingly failing due to greed and myopic lack of self-awareness. Everything that is wrong with both the sport and Apple all neatly rolled up (in a ball writhing in fake agony) in one fragile lump of tasteless plastic and poor quality components.
 
Does Apple real think this will help?

It definitely will sell to fans of the player. It will probably sell ok to soccer fans in general. In the US soccer isn’t the most popular sport but for the rest of the world it is. Sound and construction quality will have little to do with how it sells, as Beats sells ok now with the same quality and sound. When you start talking about items that sell because of their image you won’t dissuade people by pointing out that there are better products for sale that are also cheaper.

Nice pair of headphones! Still waiting for Apple to release an over-the-ear version of the AirPods...

Going to be a long wait.

Help what? It’s certainly helped bring negative comments out of the woodwork, as is the case with pretty much anything any company or person does these days.

Looks like my two year old got a hold of these after getting a black sharpie from the cabinet.

If your two year old can do this you’re going to be very rich man.
