Anyone who follows the Chinese zodiac probably already knows that 2022 is the Tiger, or the third of the 12-year cycle of animals. Digging deeper, 2022 is the year of the water tiger, which comes around once ever 60-years. To celebrate, Apple is releasing a limited edition pair of Beats Studio Buds in China on January 1, 2022, priced at ¥1,099 ($172 USD).
Aside from the special design, all of the hardware is the same as the standard model, including a 8.2mm, dual-element diaphragm driver, which features a central rigid piston with a flexible outer surround. Apple Music users rejoice! Beats Studio Buds automatically plays Spatial Audio for available tracks mixed in Dolby Atmos, which means true multidimensional sound and clarity.
- Flexible, secure-fit wingtips for all-day comfort and stability
- Custom acoustic platform delivers powerful, balanced sound
- Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking for immersive music, movies, and games
Both Android and iOS users can switch listening modes, check battery levels or receive firmware updates directly on their device. Studio Buds are conveniently voice assistant enabled, and iOS users can also activate Siri hands-free by saying “Hey Siri,” said Apple.
