Apple has unveiled limited edition Beats Studio3 headphones in partnership with A-COLD-WALL, a fashion brand by British designer Samuel Ross.

The wireless headphones will be available in a slate color with a "speckled cement" finish that covers both the headphones and ear cushions. There's an ACW logo on the outside of the headband, while the inside of the headband has a clay color with more A-COLD-WALL branding. The included carrying case is also branded with an ACW logo.

The limited edition Beats are listed as coming soon on Apple's online store, with pricing set at $349.95 in the United States.

Apple first released the Beats Studio3 in September 2017 and several limited edition designs have been made available since then. The wireless over-ear headphones feature Apple's W1 chip for seamless setup with Apple devices, up to 22 hours of battery life with active noise cancellation enabled, a foldable design, and more. Keep in mind the headphones are four years old and still have Bluetooth 4.0 and a micro USB port for charging.

Absolutely stunning design. Unfortunately sound quality can't live with the industry-leading AirPods Max.

I haven't listened to a pair of Beats in years. But, if they still have the "wonky" bass I remember I'd still give them a pass. The design looks incredible! I guess sound wise I'm just not in their demographic, as it seems bass bump, thump is probably not geared for my type of music. Oh well, I have the AirPods Max and love them! Maybe the there can be a V2 of the AirPods Max with a similar design?

I would love Apple to once, just for once, team with a company known for making durable products instead of a fashion company. I’d pay a little more for Carhartt iphone, ipad, or MacBook that I know would have a better chance of lasting a long time thru life’s ins and outs and realistic usage.

Less Cartier, more Carhartt.

Very nice design. A couple issues though:

  • I hate Micro USB and Lightning. But I will take Lightning over Micro USB.
  • After you start hitting prices like $350 it's better to start looking for headphones that actually have better sound.
In that case might as well just get AirPods Max. Max have been in the $400s range lately even though MSRP is in the $500s range. And you get head tracking spatial audio with it, in addition to the superior sound.
 
I recently came across a pair of Beats Solo 3 and I don't know how people can wear these. My ears hurt after about 25 minutes. Am I wearing these wrong? wtf? My Helix and Antihelix are killing me
