Beats Studio Pro headphones get a limited-edition Stussy design with a '90s vibe

The Beats Studio Pro headphones released in July 2023 get a new look thanks to a collaboration with streetwear brand Stussy. This is a limited-edition version of the headphones. The Stussy Beats Studio Pro headphones have a retro-inspired design that reflects the 1990s culture of owning electronics. 

They have a warm beige color and deep blue hues, with an inline logo that resembles the urethane skateboard wheels. The smooth finish is reminiscent of the resin and fiberglass material used in surfboard manufacturing.

Huawei FreeClip: The earring-like earbuds that clip onto your ears

Huawei has a reputation for unconventional product designs. And its latest creation, the Huawei FreeClip, might be its most eccentric yet. The FreeClip earbuds look like earrings or piercings, thanks to a C-bridge design that clips onto the back of your ears. This is a departure from the usual hooks that go over the ear (think the PowerBeats Pro). Huawei claims this design is based on “10,000+ global human ear data” (sic) and allows you to wear these buds in either ear. 

They also have an IP54 rating, so they can resist sweat and be taken on workouts outdoors. The open-ear structure is meant to make it easier to stay alert towards your surroundings.
