Futura Laboratories Featured in Latest Beats Studio Buds Collaboration

[MacRumors]

Roughly a week after the last Beats Studio Buds collaboration launch involving Twitch streamer NICKMERCS, Apple's Beats brand is launching a new special-edition version of the earphones in partnership with design firm Futura Laboratories.

The new collaboration comes almost a decade after the original collaboration between Beats and Futura Laboratories founder FUTURA, with the first having been for Solo HD headphones back in 2013.

The new Futura X Beats Studio Buds feature the artist's signature "atom" motif and will be available starting Saturday, July 30, at 7:00 a.m. Pacific Time from Futura Laboratories Online, END Clothing, and Beats' WeChat store. Pricing will be at the usual Beats Studio Buds price point of $149.99, £129, or ¥1099 RMB.

As with the NICKMERCS collaboration, FUTURA has also developed a custom Apple Music playlist featuring songs that are "reflective of his New York City background" and which resonate with him.

I was never any age where I would have found these appealing.

I like em! They aren't for me, but I think they are cool!

The Big Bang Theory studio buds? Cool.

Why are Beats collaborations always for redundant headphone models?

I don't know why the Studios even exist.

Beats Fit Pros are reviewed as vastly superior.

Looks interesting. Creative.

But don't fit all ears. I have both, and find that the Fit Pro's don't fit that well. I have defective ears?

Would be nice if Apple / Beats updated the Beats Studio 3. They are around 5 years old now

Beats used to be exciting, but they decided to take the brand in a whole other direction, sad really. Just look at the beats website.

Apple partnering with some trashy vandalizer. Lovely

I was surprised they still used the old style USB charging port. I like mine, but finding a cable in the sea of USB-C and Lightning cables can be a chore. I do try to keep one in the case, but it gets 'borrowed' a bit because I know there is one there, until there isn't. HAH!!!

Looks different. Might find some buyers. At least there is no premium charged for this variant.
