Beats Teams Up With Streamer IShowSpeed in Kung Fu-Themed Campaign for Powerbeats Pro 2

[MacRumors]

Apple's Beats brand is teaming up with YouTuber and streamer IShowSpeed on a new Kung Fu-themed short film showcasing Powerbeats Pro 2 as "the most stable earbuds on earth."

Thanks to their flexible ear hooks, Powerbeats Pro 2 are popular with athletes and other active users who need the extra stability to ensure the earbuds stay in their ears.

The nearly five-minute short film features IShowSpeed traveling halfway around the world to train with a kung fu master, played by a longtime member of Jackie Chan's stunt crew, Paco Yick, to prove an internet troll wrong.

IShowSpeed is currently hosting a livestream premiere of the film, where he is giving away five "Master of Speed & Stability" kits that include an exclusive custom pair of Powerbeats Pro 2 and a movie poster.

Common apple, this is just hilarious. The only thing that he can do is act like a fool & scream like little pig. I understand that 12 year olds adore him but I doubt that he has any older audience.

Once I saw the word "Streamer," I stopped reading. do better apple.

It is genuinely annoying to me how popular this guy is for pretty much nothing except barking at people and being obnoxious.

 

[dakwar]

Very exciting!

 

[froot1988]

Nobody cares

 

[boswald]

Who? What? Why?

(Goes back under his rock.)

I've never heard of this guy, so who "he" is didn't matter to me. I found the promotional short-film fun and funny. Very different from the usual Apple style of ad. Guess Beats retains their independence, which is great!

Nothing. Our landscaper quit.

🤣🤣

 

[djphat2000]

LOL. This was dope. 😆
I genuinely liked this.

 

[mcilwraith]

this was a lot of fun. love all the old school kung fu jokes

 

[chocoshuffle]

Do the powerbeats still lack the ability to play music and have fitness tracking enabled at the same time?

 

[dustin_]

hey maybe he can show his dick on stream again in celebration! (this guy is gross & apple’s gross for partnering w him)

 

[sven3]

So good

It doesn't matter what you think of him this was a great ad. Plus if those 12 year old kids ask for a pair for Christmas then Apple wins either way.

It might be a little cringy early on, but it gets better as it goes. Very cool and must have cost a ton of money to shoot. Of course, it gets the main point across very well. Stability.

Goodness you guys sound like you’d be fun at parties.. are they not allowed to make a goofy commercial like this every once in a while?

Apple probably looked up younger generation influencers, sorted by Price High to Low, and hit send.

And they would have filtered out White people from that list too. If you look at Apple’s marketing material, product shots etc, White people are almost nonexistent in them.

Kung Fu ck that…

You bothered by Apple showing diversity?
