beats: Beats partners with Union to get its first limited-edition design for Studio Buds – Times of India

Beats collaborated with Union to unveil a latest version of Studio Buds in the US and Japan. This new design is the first limited-edition design for the Beats Studio Buds which will be available at Union’s Los Angeles and Tokyo stores and online from December 1. This new limited-edition version marks the 30th anniversary of Union. This version of Studio Buds comes with a red, black and green packaging and design which was created from the Pan-African flag and also pays tribute to Union’s heritage as a Black-owned enterprise.
Union founders, Chris and Beth Gibbs said, “Music is the lifeblood of our store, so when Beats approached us, we were excited to work with them on these Buds. Collaboration is almost as important as music. It feels great to have worked with Beats on this project and to have collaborated with Vince Staples, a longtime friend of the store, to bring our vision to life.”

Beats Studio Buds key specifications
These earbuds are the first 100% true wireless (TWS) earbuds from Beats that feature Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) and a Transparency Mode. These earbuds are capable of isolating the exterior sound that will make you feel like you are not wearing earbuds at all. This is only possible due to the six microphones present in the earbuds. It comes with a water-proof rating of IPX4 and claims to have a battery life of up to 8 hours.
These earbuds are not equipped with Apple’s H1 or W1 processors like the Powerbeats Pro or other Beats headphones. This does not mean that you can’t pair these earbuds with your iPad and iPhone but, you have to pair them with individual devices every time. These earbuds also lack features like in-ear detection.
These earbuds can also be integrated with Apple’s Find My application. This feature helps you to locate your lost earbuds when it’s paired through Bluetooth. The app locates the earbuds using its last known location or by playing a sound.
