Beats by Dr. Dre x sacai release beaded earphone collab
Feb 28, 2019
Beats by Dr. Dre has partnered with Japanese brand sacai to create special edition earbuds that combine both high quality audio with fashion . The new earphones are a stylised embellished version of the popular BeatsX earphones.
The collaboration features colourful beads studded in contrasting colours and patterns, which effectively blurs the line between fashion accessory and earbud.
Usability-wise, its flex-form cable gives the earphones a flexible fit, while the magnetic earbuds keep the buds from tangling when you aren’t using them. One of the more unique features is how you can carry them; you can wear the earphones like a chain or bracelet when you are not listening.
Sacai first revealed the collaboration during their Autumn/Winter 2019 show where the earphones were a prominent accessory on the runway.
The new Beats by Dr. Dre x sacai cost 150USD (1188HKD) and will be available from March 5 on apple.com. They will be available in three different colours: “Burned Red,” “Deep White,” and “True Black.”
