Beats today announced the upcoming launch of a new collaboration with fragment design founder Hiroshi Fujiwara for a minimalist limited-edition version of the Beats Flex earbuds.
The new black-on-black Beats Flex will be available starting Thursday, November 18 from Apple and SSENSE and will be priced at $69.99.
Beats Flex is the current entry-level Beats earbud product, featuring two earbuds connected by a neckband wire with inline controls and Bluetooth connectivity to paired devices. Beats Flex initially launched just over a year ago priced at $49.99, with the price increasing to $69.99 about six weeks ago.
Beats and Fujiwara have collaborated on several previous projects, including limited-edition Powerbeats Pro in a similar design scheme earlier this year.

In May 2025, Apple said many other vehicle brands planned to offer CarPlay Ultra, including Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis.

Apple recently updated its online store with a new ordering process for Macs, including the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro.
There used to be a handful of standard configurations available for each Mac, but now you must configure a Mac entirely from scratch on a feature-by-feature basis. In other words, ordering a new Mac now works much like ordering an...
I've just been on the SSENSE website, it would appear they told all their models to look miserable and pissed off, seriously they ALL look morose and depressed... like self-entitled teens who wanted an iPhone 13 Pro Max for Christmas and their parents only bought them an iPhone 13 Pro instead and then took a picture of their reaction ☹️
They’re honestly really good for using around the house, doing chores, or even video calls, because the cord around the neck keeps you from losing them and you can quickly remove one earbud to listen/talk to someone and just let it dangle. My partner and I both have pairs and use them daily, the battery life is great, and they still have all the great handoff abilities of AirPods that cost 4-5x as much.
