Best Buy Launches Exclusive Black & Gold Beats Studio Pro

Following an Amazon-exclusive Matte White version of the Beats Studio Pro that launched last month, Best Buy recently debuted its own exclusive color option for the over-ear headphones from the Apple-owned brand: Black & Gold.

Offering a two-tone alternative to the standard Black color option, the Black & Gold Beats Studio Pro feature a largely black exterior but with something of a champagne or gold color inside the headband and all the way down to where the ear cups attach. Gold accents for the headband hinges and the Beats "b" button provide additional contrast.

The Black & Gold Beats Studio Pro come with the same traditional black nylon case as the original four launch colors for the headphones, and they come with gray USB-C and 3.5mm cables for charging and connectivity.

The new Black & Gold color option for the Beats Studio Pro retails for the usual Studio Pro price of $349.99, although Best Buy is currently running a significant sale on most Beats headphones and earphones that knocks $100 off to bring the price to $249.99.

Best Buy loves stuff like this as it exempts them from honoring price matches

It's wild how these $350 headphones get all the nice colors, while the $549 AirPods Max only comes in colors that can be most politely described as... insufficiently daring. ?

Meh, the color's not worth the price delta, when they were under 170 bucks on Amazon for all the other colors just the other day.

every beats over ear I've owned the ear cups pilled & disintegrated away.

never buying headphones that don't have ear cushion magnetic swapping like the APM again.
what about just getting replacement ear pads?

Most headphone vendors don't use/need magnetic held ear pads thats more of a novelty to see utilized. What is important is that you find out that you can get replacement ear pads before buying a headphone. Yeah the cheapest ones a lot of the time don't offer that. ;)

Price delta? The price {4th letter of the Greek alphabet}.
He means the price difference.

Delta is a Greek letter that is used in mathematics to represent the change in a variable, and it is also used to represent the difference between two numbers

So interesting that Apple allows Beats to offer numerous headphone versions, yet Apple with its AirPod Max headphone seems ultra conservative to versions?
A black and gold APM and matching i16PM would be SICK!!!!!
