Always fond of there being more color options for a product, but kinda weird to think that simply changing the color counts as a collaboration... but I guess thats marketing.
I consider a Kardashian tie-in to be a reason not to buy. The Sony WH1000XM4 headphones are better in sound, noise cancelling, connectivity, weight, battery life and portability. And they fold flat to fit in a very compact case that comes with them, as well as a charging cable, and an audio adapter for airplanes.
Did I mention they're about $250 cheaper?

I always wanted headphones that looked like foundation
Lets just be thankful for the fact Macrumors kept comment section open, unlike other tech websites who will close them the second someone writes “oh I don’t like pop culture”. This is what I call freedom of speech
My wife’s Powerbeats Pro died a couple of years after I got them, and she loved them.
Most other earbuds don’t fit her ears well, and she finds headphones too cumbersome, so it’s been torture watching literally every other Beats model get updated multiple times.

Ahh yes the mid to late 80s old ladies finger nail paint Avon look.
Following a successful 2022 collaboration with Kim Kardashian for a set of three neutral color options for the Beats Fit Pro earphones, the "Beats x Kim" campaign is back to bring the same colors to the Beats Studio Pro headphones.
As with the Beats Fit Pro, the new Beats Studio Pro color options from Kardashian's signature palette include Moon (light), Dune (medium), and Earth (deep).Beats Studio Pro are the brand's latest over-ear headphones and were originally released in July 2023. They offer Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency modes, Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking, improved audio quality, and up to 40 hours of battery life. Connectivity options include Class 1 Bluetooth, USB-C, and 3.5mm analog.
Apple's Beats brand has been building up to today's launch with an ad campaign featuring Kardashian and Jimmy Fallon vying for the next Beats collaboration, with Kardashian's neutral Beats x Kim colors going up against a mustard-yellow "Beats x Jim" option that apparently did not make the cut.
The new Beats x Kim Beats Studio Pro headphones are priced at $349.99 in the United States, and they are launching today through Apple's online stores in the US, Canada, Mexico, UK, France, Germany, Japan, China, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Thailand, with limited availability at select Apple retail stores in those countries. They are also available through Amazon in the US, Canada, Mexico, and Japan, and at Argos in the UK, JB Hi-Fi in Australia, and Tmall and JD.com in China.

What do Kim and the Beats have in common?
They are both made of plastic.

I'm relatively ambivalent about the marketing tie-in with her, but please, PLEASE, stop using the word "incel" whenever someone is critical of a female. It's cliche and probably 99.9% inaccurate, when it is used.
When I look at this woman I am reminded of that video that made her famous. But of course apple loves to hire wife beaters, drug users and pushers, and now women like this one. Don't show me apple ads that claim they are all filled with virtue anymore please. I can't take the hypocrisy.
I know Kim Kardashian likes the neutral tones, but yeah not for me. I like the loud screaming colors. haha
What is wrong with Kim Kardashian? She is not a wife beater, drug user/pusher. You say, "And now this one". If you are so virtuous and Apple isn't, you should stop looking at woman immediately as sex objects. When I see her picture, I think of a successful business woman that got her start via a TV show.
I live for these comments. Y'all are so salty. She's a billionaire. Literally while you moan and whine, she lounges.
That’s because you’re not in Kim’s target demographic either! I doubt many on macrumors are.
