Beats by Dre works in collaboration with design studio Futura Laboratories on a new special edition of the Beats Studio Buds. It is designed to celebrate the signature atom motif that is true to graffiti artist FUTURA. The earbuds themselves deliver premium audio and have a Class 1 Bluetooth Active Noise Cancellation feature.
It also has transparency mode and one-touch pairing that is compatible with Apple and Android devices for up to 8 hours of listening time. Notably, the new earbuds mark the second time that the two forces are working alongside one another following the previous project back in 2013. Future states, "Music has always been a necessity in my creative space [...] but the music on my Beats Studio Buds takes me to an entirely isolated inner space."
