Beats Partners With Japanese Fashion Brand Sacai for New Beaded BeatsX Headphones [Updated]

Lol, well “ooh lah lah”; if the self-proclaimed fashionista from MR (VERY stylish glasses, btw! /s) isn’t aware of Japanese fashion houses, I suppose that definitively proves that “this collab isn’t very good”.

Get over yourself.

Btw, looks like they made some pretty trick looking sneaks in a collab w/ Nike... you might want to head over to those forums & scold those people as well, and parade your “expertise” around a bit more, oh mister fashion guru.

Edit:
You’ll have to pardon me if I don’t take my fashion advice from a late middle aged white guy from Russia, who inexplicably uses for his online handle Snoop Dogg’s legal name. It kinda calls your authenticity & overall sense of being “in tune with the times” into question.

I'll have you know that these glasses were HAND-BUILT by Friedrich Gucci himself. To insult these glasses is a direct insult to him and his craftsmanship. They have Transitions lenses in them which really add to the usefulness.

If you like these headphones so much, put your money where your earbuds are and grab a pair and let's see them, Dogg.

Jeez, you all know you aren’t going to be required to buy or use these headphones, right? Or the watch bands or use any new emojis you don’t like.

If others like them or buy them, that’s okay. If not, I’m sure Apple will quit selling them.
 
Why is everyone saying these look like anal beads?

They'd be some super beginner-level anal beads. :rolleyes:
 
May be Apple should make beads that goes into where the sun doesn't shine and the music comes out of your mouth.

I’m out of the loop. Has Apple done anything to improve the sub par sound hardware standards of the Beat brand? Or are they still selling $80 headphones for $299?

Yes, they have, the Beats X sound A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!

.. anyone who says otherwise is either deaf or just still bitter about the brand for some reason.

I own:
AirPods
Beats Solo 3 Wireless
Beats X
Sennheiser HD-25 C II reference headphones (industry leading DJ headphones)

have owned Beats Studio 3 Wireless

The X sounds the best, they're so loud, punchy, really nice smooth bass and crisp highs, they seem so well balanced... Admittedly I don't love the design, the wire is quite tough and they rarely feel natural, I mainly use them at work at my desk, they completely drown outside noise and I can really crank the volumes without disturbing anyone around me thanks to the biggest ear bud completely sealing the sound.

Solo 3 don't sound quite as nice, but they're very well built and comfortable.

Both obviously have nice Apple tech inside and work seamlessly with Apple devices.

Some people just like to complain.

If you haven’t heard of Sacai, then you cannot call yourself a fashionista. They have had several seasons of collaborations with Nike. Oh, and who calls themselves a fashionista?

I love everything about this. Love that they chose Syd for the promo shot. Love that they collaborated with sacai and Chitose Abe—one of the coolest brands and designers in the world. I also love my BeatsX. If I didn’t already own a pair, I’d buy these.

Also love all of these reviews from the ever-fashionable tech-set.

I've heard you say you love everything except for the way they look?

Hey, some people will get naked and pour paint all over their body, squirm around on a canvas like fish out of water and thats "art" to some people. sure people might buy this but IMO its one of the ugliest pair of headphones ive ever seen

Oh yeah... transitional lenses. I had those in the 4th grade. I think my great grandmother still rocks them! Lol, VERY hip. You’re SO posh. /s
Hmmm... maybe it’s the fact that they are crooked & ill fitting?
You’re making this too easy, bud!
Want to dig your grave any deeper w/ your “brags”? None of them are hitting the mark or having the desired effect. Unless you’re going for: pompous, old, & clueless.
For the record, I wear Grado & Sennheiser cans (I know, not “fashionable” enough for your ilk, but I enjoy the studiophile audio quality).
As such, I have no need for these Beats, yet I’m unwilling to demonstrate (flaunt?) ignorance publicly, by denouncing the entire fashion house- particularly if my one & only supporting argument was “I’ve never heard of it... and I consider myself a fashionista”, lol.

Edit:
And why are you calling ME “Dogg”??
I don’t get it. You’re the one that (lacking all originality) is using Snoop Dogg’s legal name as if it was your own. So, “Calvin”, lol... I think your sense of humor may be as self overinflated as your supposed fashion acumen. It would make sense for me to refer to you as “Dogg”, since you’re shamelessly biting another man’s style & using his given name as your moniker. In reverse, it makes zero sense whatsoever.

This is one of those collaborations where teams from both companies hate it, and go home each day and take an hour long shower, but the internal exec driven 'lets do X' groundswell is unstoppable. And unfortunately, one day, the product gets to market.

Exactly. The Japanese have strange taste. If they move even a few million dollars of these in profit it is worth doing. I haven't lived in Japan for awhile but am guessing there are other products that have this look. Japan had the strangest fashions I have ever seen in my life. This is what the Beats brand is for.

Agreed!
May be a bit gaudy/flashy for me, as far as the color lines go... I prefer my headphones a bit more sedate.
But, I wouldn’t deign to cast aspersions upon the couture choices of an entire country! That seems narrow-minded & bordering on xenophobia.
