Apple's Beats brand this week is launching a new special-edition version of its Beats Studio Buds earphones in partnership with Twitch esports streamer and FaZe Clan co-owner Nick "NICKMERCS" Kolcheff. Beats previously partnered with FaZe Clan on special-edition Powerbeats Pro and Studio3 Wireless.

Designed to pay homage to the professional Twitch streamers' loyal community, each bud features the 'MFAM' logo and arrives in a Spartan-emblazoned case to reflect Kolcheff's Greek heritage. [...]

Kolcheff has a lengthy partnership with Beats, collaborating on two drops with FaZe Clan (the lifestyle and media platform rooted in gaming and youth culture, in which he takes part as a co-owner) as well as promoting the launches of Beats Fit Pro and Beats Studio Buds in several Twitch activations. This is the first official product release solely between Beats and Kolcheff.

Why are the products of these collaborations always so hideous 😹

For whatever reason, companies have decided that "gamers" want products that are black with red highlights, and often feature lots of edges and sharp corners. It's the one thing that kept me from buying an Asus router. Some of their products have stellar reviews, but I don't like their design at all, and the layout of our apartment means that the device would be at a highly visible location.

One of the wings of the Apple Park building must house the Down-With-The-Kids division!
 
I don't watch him but doesn't Nick use over the ear headphones while gaming? Most streamers do. Seems like thats the product his branding should be on but what do I know.
 
I want to like the Studio Buds, but lack of an H1 chip makes them best suited for Android users.
 
I didn't realize FaZe was this big, just found out they recently went public too.
 
This product is such a bizarre sideline for Apple. I feel it just goes against their brand and what theyr'e about. The product makes zero sense in Apple's product lineup. I never see Beats as an Apple product just some other company they bought and didn't rebrand it just to pacify Dr Dre and Jimmy lovine. And those two seem such a bizarre match for Apple.
 
This forum never disappoints! Any new product brings out the cry babies lol


I think they look good. Not in the market but depending on features I'd probably get these over iPods of the same specs.
 
Interesting, or the first isn't but the second is.

They are not available locally. No surprise. If there's a bright spot on the planet, I'm on the part of the planet that it's farthest from.

BUT: No delivery either. Hmm...

Guess I don't get them. I'm not driving 100 miles to get a pair.
