Cartoonish Speaker Collaborations

VERDY Teases its New Collaboration with Beats by Dre

— August 8, 2024 — Tech
VERDY is partnering with Beats by Dre, signaling an exciting collaboration poised to capture the attention of both fashion and tech enthusiasts. The collaboration is hinted at through a captivating video, which is being dubbed 'Vear' and features a 3D-animated character engaging in an animated dance sequence set to a trap beat produced by Young Coco and Koshy.

In the video, the animated character dances energetically to the rhythm before turning around to reveal a Beats Pill speaker held in its paws. This character's unique features—light-colored fur, a long tail, fluffy ears, and whiskers—differ markedly from VERDY’s established panda-rabbit mascot, Vick, indicating a departure from the iconic character for this release.

The choice of the name 'Vear' aligns with VERDY’s established naming conventions for his characters, further implying that this new figure is central to the collaboration's identity.
