Apple Unveils New Limited-Edition Beats Studio Pro

[MacRumors]

Apple-owned Beats has unveiled new limited-edition Beats Studio Pro in collaboration with streetwear brand Stüssy. In the U.S., the headphones will be available on stussy.com for $349.99 starting this Friday, December 15 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time.

The headphones feature beige ear cups and a black headband with Stüssy branding. Hypebeast says the design was inspired by 1990s personal electronics.

Beats Studio Pro launched in July, with regular color options including Black, Deep Brown, Navy, and Sandstone. The over-ear headphones offer active noise cancellation, spatial audio support, quick pairing with Apple and Android devices, USB-C charging with up to 40 hours of battery life, and more. Audio can be played wirelessly via Bluetooth 5.3, or over a wired connection via the USB-C port or the 3.5mm headphone jack.

Beats has routinely collaborated with music artists, athletes, streetwear brands, and other partners to create limited-edition headphones.

Keep in mind that Amazon currently has the regular Beats Studio Pro colors on sale for $179.95 in the U.S., down from $349.99.

They look cool but I haven't seen anyone wearing beats headphones in ages

 

[spcopsmac21]

Wow $350. For $150 headphones.
Hahaha no thanks. These are for the rube who has everything.

 

[CausticSoda]

Just embarrassing... But then that is probably what my younger relatives say about me.

 

[deebinem]

Stüssy? 🤔 Didn't know they were still a thing. Guess I should have held onto all my gear from the late 80's...

 

[iamgalt]

Hey Apple, how about instead of releasing version after version of Beats, you, I don't know, release a second generation of your three year old, Airpods Max? Just a thought for you to consider.

And not that I've been paying close attention, but I don't recall seeing people wear Stüssy brand clothes in ages. At least not since the '80s skateboarding and surfing days.

Same crappy audio and same crappy clamping force.

I don’t even understand why beats still exists alongside airpods

To cater to android users and the urban demographic.

Stüssy was pretty cool...back in the late 80's/early 90's.

They should have used the S that everyone carved into their school desks.

On a side note, this is where the main stream started appropriating surf culture.

I was always more of a fan of the graffiti tag style logo:

EDIT: I don't know why but the block lettering of Stussy on the headband makes me think of Koss:

Same! The surf shop I worked at as a kid had some limited Stussy stuff that I would buy with that logo. The sales rep was always cool with hooking us up with stuff too.

That "S" is not the Stüssy "S"

though it's often referred to as the Stüssy "S"

What the Hell Was That 'S' Thing Everyone Drew in School?

Children have been drawing the pointy "S" since the dawn of time. I used journalism to find out where it came from, sort of.

www.vice.com

Pretty much every forum on the web mentions Stussy—the Californian surf/street-wear company founded in the 80s. A lot of people seem convinced the symbol was originally a Stussy logo, so I called Stussy.

"No, this is not an original Stussy Logo," stated Emmy Coates, who has worked alongside Shawn Stussy since 1985. "I personally get asked this a lot, but people have been drawing this 'S' long before Stussy was established. People have just assumed it was Stussy, and it's sort of spread from there. It's actually quite amusing."

They are a thing in London; you know, big surf culture here....

Apple really knows the future trends. Individual media now the trending. Each family member watching, listening, doing. The new generation has zero interest in the family movie night. The tastes in all media across a family moving away from a consensus. The big screen movie night, the family all watch a TV show fading. The whole house sound really hard to get even two family members to agree on. Plus, my neighbor cranks his very nicle sounding system. The problem, not so much the sound volume. We cannot agree on the genre being played. Another good move Apple. Will keep peace in the family.😎

In our case, it's usually the mum disagreeing with the movie of choice. My teen and I are aligned and love to watch movies together.

Tell that to all the school desks that used it as the S in Stussy. At some point it became one in the same. The same way people say "Just google it" when in reality they mean 'Just search for it online" Google the company is now a term synonymous with searching for something.
