Beats and Kim Kardashian Debut Beats Fit Pro in Three New Colors

What a joke. This makes apple look so irrelevant and trashy.

What’s next? Watch bands designed by Mia Khalifa?

Seriously? We're not talking about Sennheiser. Beats is and has always been a fashion-first brand.

I'll take one of those over this

 

[DaPhox]

Ill wait for the samantha fox edition..

My fading interest in the Beats brand has now been turned into a strong dislike as a result of this Kardashian collab. I now associate the brand with overpaid, overhyped, under-talented celebrity grifters. Can't wait for the Paris Hilton-Ivanka Trump Limited Editions. Or perhaps a dual-purpose, vibrating speaker egg from Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop.

but that's how it started.

These colors are actually really nice if it were just a standalone product. But the fact that it's associated with her makes it unfortunately corny asf.

Thank you, Apple. You have made the decision so much easier: From a probably not gonna buy, to hard pass.

Beats Fit Pro, now with a luxurious coating of real human skin!

not sure REAL HUMAN is accurate.
surely these didnt need a "SellEBrity" associated. Three new colours. That's it. It should barely rate a Press Release.

 

[GermanSuplex]

Thumbs up for skin tone shades of Beats products. Thumbs down to anything dealing with the Kardashians.

 

[kerr]

that behind the scenes video was not exactly what I thought it would be

 

[drumcat]

Is this for lizard people? I don't get it.

 

[drumcat]

That video… jesus lady, you picked a colour.

I want to be rich for picking a colour…

 

[Mrjoedot]

okayyyyyyy...... If Michael Jackson were alive, I wonder what the collaboration colors would be

 

[deiandknight]

I appreciate the colors. I don't like how she portrays herself to be a designer, especially when all her "design books" are backwards in the videos. 🤔

 

[svish]

No premium for these new colours. Good!!

 

[swm]

those things look like as if they came from Cronenbergs eXistenZ

I wish Apple would make Apple branded fitness AirPods (AirPods Fit?)... I've had every model of PowerBeats (latest nightmare being the PowerBeats Pro) and *every* model has gone through warranty swaps (with the 3s after 4 swaps the Apple Store just told me we'll swap for Bose... but I've wanted the "Apple Magic" that a W1/H1/etc give you). PowerBeats Pro have a design flaw with the charging connectors (so I end up using my backup Jabras ~25-33% of the time).

It seems that the great Beats engineers went to the Apple side post acquisition. and the bozos stayed at Beats to keep making sub-par crap as Beats customers don't set a very high bar... social influencer cred seems to be their metric of quality.

Bottom line: Don't. Buy. Beats.

 

[MJaP]

Well they're both plastic so it's a great fit.

 

[aknabi]

Trash family. Trash product.

IMO Apple associating the KK makes the brand feel Trashier and less premium... and like the ExecCo *really* wants to hang with the cool crowd and will denigrate themselves to get behind the rope.

Though it'll still make money and we'll still buy their products... not because Apple is great (they're very good) but the rest of the industry are bozos.

The tips would be too big to fit in your ears.

 

[FHoff]

What would a Pete Davidson Edition look like?

Probably like he does, Sméagol

 

[jonnysods]

I’m like that except it is my right ear. Luckily, comply tips work for me on APPs for my right ear. But these still fit better and have better battery power, so I use my BFP a lot more.

But how is that case? It seems massive. I try to fit my APPs in that little pocket on my jeans and it’s great. The case seems comically big.

 

[t0rqx]

The f is wrong with all these fugly design and colours. This looks like Kim used the Beats to remove her thick make up off her face. Kim took here minimalistic style? This just got a paint job similar to her make up!

The case isn’t a big deal to me. I don’t put airpods in my pockets anyway. i carry a purse/sling bag/backpack. It’s really not that big—way smaller than the powerbeats one.

I use them for work while I'm on site at clients - the APP case is perfect for that 5th pocket, but the BFP design seems great as apparently I have freaky ears and I can't seem to keep the APPs in my left ear!

 

[CBDawgs]

Awesome product and some fresh color options. Not a big deal to me who the colab is with.
